Trio for Heart Health

0 Recommendations

Dr. Sinatra has come up with a trio of natural supplements to improve your Heart Health. They are CoQ10, L-Carnitine and D-Ribose. he feels when taken in this combination you can help prevent and overcome heart disease, fibromyalgia, fatigue and Syndrome X.


CoQ10

Studies with CoQ10 have mostly focused on its benefit involving certain types of cardiovascular diseases, including congestive heart failure and hypertension. However, CoQ10 has also been evaluated for high cholesterol and in diabetes. Patients with high cholesterol levels who are placed on statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor should take additional CoQ10 in the amount of 30 to 50 mg daily or a few times a week to counteract the muscle damage from these statin drugs (consult with your doctor). Studies with CoQ10 and Parkinson’s disease have not yielded consistent results. We still have a long way to go to determine the proper clinical role and benefit of CoQ10.

L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine has become a very popular supplement because it promotes growth and development. It is perfect for burning fats, increasing energy, metabolizing food into energy, improving resistance to muscle fatigue, and dieting. It lessens the feelings of hunger and weakness. It has also been proven to help build muscle and treat some forms of cardiovascular diseases.

D-Ribose

Many adults have turned to nutriceutical or natural products. Myocardial ischemia, produces a depression in myocardial tissue levels of high energy compounds, along with a compromise in myocardial function. Ribose, a naturally occurring sugar, has been extensively investigated, both in animal and clinical studies, as an agent to enhance the recovery of these depressed energy compounds. Results of these studies have been promising in enhancing the recovery of these energy molecules along with an improvement in myocardial function. Therefore, ribose should be considered as a potential agent in the treatment of ischemic cardiovascular disease.

Consider this combintaion for all over improvementand life quality. Check with your physician before starting any new diet.
