According to the American Heart Association, 1997, 50% of all cardiac deaths result from Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), the most deadly cardiovascular disease. More than 58 million Americans have at least one form of Cardiovascular Disease which includes hypertension, Coronary Heart Disease, stroke, and rheumatic heart disease.

Each capsule contains:

Folic Acid 400 mcg
Folic Acid supports the health of the nervous system, and helps reduce body concentrations of homocysteine which has been implicated in both atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. It is estimated that folic acid supplementation (400 micrograms daily) alone would reduce the number of heart attacks suffered by Americans each year by 10 percent.

Vitamin B12 150 mcg
Vitamin B12 works with folic acid in many body processes, including the synthesis of DNA, red blood cells, and the insulation sheath (the myelin sheath) that surrounds nerve cells and speeds the conduction of the signals along these cells. Investigators have found that the level of vitamin B12 declines with age and, if left untreated, can lead to impaired neurological and cognitive function.

Vitamin B6 15 mg.
Vitamin B6 decreases homocysteine levels. Individuals with low B6 levels in their blood have a five times greater risk of having a heart attack than individuals with higher levels. Vitamin B6 helps to lower blood pressure.

Magnesium 150 mg.
Magnesium is the "anti-stress" mineral. Magnesium is a natural tranquilizer, as Magnesium functions to relax skeletal muscles as well as the smooth muscles of blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract. Because of Magnesium's influence on the heart, magnesium is considered important in preventing coronary artery spasm. Magnesium also has a mild effect on lowering blood pressure and is often recommended to prevent hypertension. Magnesium also increases HDL levels, decreases platelet aggregation, and prolongs clotting time.

Alpha Lipoic Acid 10 mg.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant to prevent oxidative damage. Alpha Lipoic Acid is being referred to as the most versatile and powerful of all antioxidants Because of its small, unique chemical structure, Alpha Lipoic Acid is both fat and water soluble and is thus able to work its miracles in both the watery and fatty protions of the cell. Alpha Lipoic Acid neutralizes nitrogen radicals, including nitric oxide, the free radical most apt to injure brain cells. Studies indicate that lipoic acid may keep you from having a stroke and, if you have one, Alpha Lipoic Acid may limit the damage and speed your recovery.
