HOW DO ANTIOXIDANTS PROTECT AGAINST HEART & VASCULAR PROBLEMS?
Free radicals are oxygenated molecules that enter the body from food, water, air and also occur from biochemical processes from within. They attack and damage tissue in the heart and throughout the body. They also oxidize lipids, increasing LDL cholesterol and the chance of atherosclerosis. Antioxidants act as inhibitors of lipoprotein oxidation and thus reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as protect the cardiac cells from their harmful effects.

ANTIOXIDANTS IN CARDIO-CARE ARE:
Vitamin E is especially important in cardiac health, and numerous studies in major universities support the benefits of Vitamin E for prevention of heart attacks, reducing serum cholesterol, as well as for vascular health.

Vitamin E has an effect on prostaglandins. Medical research has noted the important anti-platelet aggregation properties of Vitamin E and its influence in vascular disease. Thus, it helps to prevent blood clots and it is often used, in conjunction with aspirin, to help decrease the incidence of heart attacks and strokes.

Alpha Lipolc Acid- One of the most powerful antioxidants, increases Glutathione levels in the cells, and enhances the activity of other antioxidants, especially E and C.

ALA provides antioxidant protection against LDLs, helping to prevent fatty deposits on arterial walls.

Ischemia-reperfusion injuries, which occur in conditions such as stroke, cardiac arrest and head trauma, result from the release of free radicals during reoxygenation of tissue that has become hypoxic. Since ALA is efficacious in preventing ischemia-reperfusion injuries, it may be important to patients who have strokes, cardiac infarction, and open-heart surgery.

Co-Enzyme Q-10 - Has powerful antioxidant properties and works synergistically with vitamin E.

It is a necessary enzyme in the body located in the mitochondria of cells and found mostly in the cardiac muscle tissue.

It is also important in the formation of ATP, which produces energy at the cellular level in the body and is essential for cardiac performance.

Co-Q 10 assists in preventing heart disorders including Cardiomyopathy, Myocardial Ischemia, Angina, Hypertension and congestive heart failure.

Taurine is an amino acid, found in heart tissue, with several important functions, including the regulation of the potassium-sodium-calcium-magnesium flux for proper heart muscle function. It also has antioxidant properties and potentiates vitamin E activity.

Gingko Biloba is an antioxidant and acts as a vasodilator.

Hawthorne Extract & Pine Back Extract are flavinoids and antioxidants that help reduce blood pressure, prevent palpitations, arrhythmias, and atherosclerosis.

WHAT IS HOMOCYSTEINE?
Protein is broken down in the body into amino acids, including Methione, which is metabolized into Homocysteine. Further metabolism is required in the presence of the enzyme Cystathione beta-synthase and its necessary co-factors folic acid, B-6 and B-12 to convert the Homocysteine to Cystathionine and Cysteine. Without these B vitamins for proper Homocysteine metabolism, excessive amounts build up to harmful levels that cause atherosclerosis.

High levels of Homocysteine can damage the endothelium lining exposing the underlying layers of blood vessels forming clots, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes. This correlation between high homocysteine levels and increased risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes has been documented in more than 30 major medical studies, including those published in The New Eng. Med. Journal, JAMA and Lancet. It has also been well documented that the supplementation of folic acid, as well as B-6 and B-12 can prevent and reverse high homocysteine levels.

CARDIO-CARE HAS SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS OF FOLIC ACID AS WELL AS B-6 AND B-12 to prevent and reduce excessive homocysteine levels. The number 1 cause of death in the United States is heart attacks, and the number 3 is strokes. CARDIO-CARE also includes important Vitamin E, Taurine and other antioxidants for a very beneficial heart care formula.
