Feature Summary

Fish oils are the most important supplement for cardiovascular health. By increasing the dietary intake of fish, or supplementing with fish oils, the risk for heart disease or stroke can be reduced by 47%, compared to controls. Fish oils protect against heart disease by lowering triglycerides, preventing excessive blood clot formation, reducing inflammation, and improving heart function.

Fish oils are the richest source of omega-3 fatty acids, and low levels of omega-3s in the red blood cells may be the most accurate indicator of heart disease and stroke risk.

The key omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Research suggests that a combined daily dosage of 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA is required to protect the average person against heart disease.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like substance required by almost every cell in the body, where it is used to convert food into cellular energy. Although CoQ10 can be synthesized in the body, sometimes the body does not make enough. CoQ10 supplementation is very important for anyone with high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, mitral valve prolapse, coronary artery bypass surgery, or angina.

Oxidative cellular damage, caused by unstable free-radical molecules, is a significant factor in aging and has been linked to many chronic degenerative diseases, including heart disease. Antioxidants are nutrients that neutralize free radicals, preventing them from doing further damage.
