While nothing can take the place of a healthy lifestyle in combatting cardiovascular disease, the following supplements may help you reduce your risk for conditions that affect the heart.

CoQ10 (coenzyme Q-10) CoQ10 is produced naturally in the body and is vital to the functioning of the cells. With age, its production declines. Many studies have linked low levels of CoQ10 to congestive heart disease. If you are taking statin drugs, it is important to also take CoQ10 because the action of statin drugs inhibits the metabolism of CoQ10 within the body. For Coenzyme Q-10 Products: Click Here

ASA/Aspirin® Researchers have known for many years that one junior ASA (acetylsalicylic acid) tablet a day can help prevent a second heart attack. ASA thins the blood by inhibiting the clumping of platelets inside the arteries. Many doctors now recommend taking an 81 mg ASA tablet daily to reduce the risk of heart attack. You can find a variety of 81 mg ASA formulations in the London Drugs pharmacy, including Bayer® Aspirin® Daily Low Dose and Bayer® Aspirin® Daily Low Dose Quick Chews®— both recommended by doctors for daily preventive therapy.

Vitamin B Complex Stress greatly increases the risk of heart disease, so reducing your stress levels is a good idea. When the body experiences the demands of physical or emotional stress, the Bvitamins are depleted. Vitamin B complex formulations such as Webber Naturals® B50 Complex, B100 Complex and B-Calm® with Sensoril®, will ensure the body obtains the B-vitamins needed to better withstand stress and anxiety. Sensoril® is a standardized extract of Ashwaganda (Indian Ginseng), which exerts a mild sedative effect and has been shown in clinical trials to increase the body’s resistance to stress.
