Best Nutrients for Heart Health
Choosing nutrients for your heart might seem tricky, but don't worry—you're not alone. Everyone wants to support things like blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall heart health. But how do you know which nutrients are the best and how much to take? Let's break it down.
Omega-3s, the Right Way
Your body needs omega-3 fatty acids for a healthy heart, brain, and more. While foods like salmon and flaxseeds offer some omega-3s, it’s almost impossible to get enough, so supplementing is important. A great choice is CalaMarine®, which comes from deep-sea squid. It has the right balance of DHA and EPA omega-3s and is eco-friendly, without a fishy aftertaste. Take 1,250 mg daily.
Boost Energy with CoenzymeQ10
Every cell in your body has CoQ10, a potent antioxidant and helper for energy production and other health benefits. As you age, CoQ10 production slows down dramatically. Plus, taking cholesterol-lowering statin medications (and others) can deplete your CoQ10 levels even further. The form we recommend Hydro Q-Sorb® ubiquinone CoQ10, which is easier for your body to absorb and also more reasonably priced than the expensive ubiquinol form. Take 100 mg daily.
Crominex® 3+ Supports Blood Sugar and Heart Markers
This special chromium blend supports key heart markers. It helps with things like healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Plus, it helps improve endothelial function for healthy blood flow, and increase nitric oxide production for blood vessel health. Take 400 mcg daily for the best results.
Trans Resveratrol for Blood Flow
Resveratrol, found in red grapes, supports a healthy heart, including CRP and blood flow. Instead of drinking gallons of wine, a supplement is more practical. Choose trans resveratrol for better absorption. Take 30 mg daily.
Highly Bioavailable Turmeric
Turmeric is great for supporting a healthy inflammatory response, but it's not always easy for your body to absorb. Look for a form that enhances the absorption of curcuminoids, the active compounds in turmeric. HydroCurc® is the form we like—it’s 320% better absorbed than ordinary powdered curcumin, offering excellent antioxidant protection. Take 125 mg daily.
Heart-Supporting B Vitamins
B vitamins play a big role in energy production and heart health. Don't overlook them! Take 30 mg of B6, 500 mcg of B12, and 667 mcg of folate (400 mcg folic acid) daily.
