CARDIO supplies co-enzyme Q10,
Carnitine, vitamin E, B vitamins, the amino acid Arginine, plus Bromelain
and TMG (tri-methylglycine) to support a healthy heart and circulation.
Supplementing your diet with key amino acids, vitamins and minerals,
that are known to support the healthy function of the heart and blood
vessels, is an important part of keeping a healthy heart. The product
I recommend to achieve this is Cardio.
Dr Mark Atkinson
Four capsules
of Higher Nature Cardio typically provide:
1200mg Tri-methyl
Glycine (TMG, as betaine monohydrate)
480mg
Arginine
160mg
Carnitine
100mg
Bromelain
30mg
Co-enzyme Q10
20mg
Vitamin E (30iu)
10mg
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl)
200µg
Folic Acid
400µg
Vitamin B12
Tri-methyl
Glycine - also known as anhydrous betaine, TMG, along with vitamins
B6, B12 and folic acid are used in the conversion of the toxic amino
acid homocysteine to the much safer and health promoting amino acid,
methionine. Maintaining normal homocysteine levels is important for
the health of the cardiovascular system.
Carnitine –
is an amino acid-like nutrient naturally found in the human body,
mainly stored in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Supplementing with carnitine
can help to normalise heart rhythm and strengthen heart contractions.
L-arginine
– L-Arginine is used by the lining of the blood vessels to
produce nitric oxide, a chemical that helps the heart receive adequate
oxygen, by keeping the blood vessels more dilated.
Bromelain -
this pineapple
derivative is a wonderful natural anti-inflammatory and can help protect
the lining of blood vessels from damaging free radicals and chemicals.
Co-enzyme Q10 -
most cells of
the body contain this vitamin-like substance. CoQ10 is used to convert
food into energy, it’s an antioxidant, working closely with vitamin
E, and it increases the heart’s ability to tolerate low oxygen levels.
Also recommended for a healthy heart:
Omega-3 essential fats
Researchers
have found that the
omega-3’s
in fish oil can stop the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries,
reduce inflammation and help to maintain a healthy heart.
10 Tips for a healthy heart:
-
Mediterranean
diet of fish, fruit, vegetables and mixed nuts or virgin olive oil.
-
Increase your
intake of antioxidants –
garlic, oregano,
green tea
and blueberries are nature’s most concentrated forms of antioxidants.
Include them in your diet as much as you can.
-
Avoid fried
foods (unless using
coconut oil or the minimum heat with olive oil).
-
Dark chocolate,
with a cocoa content of greater than 80%, when eaten in moderation
(a couple of pieces) a couple of times a week, helps protect against
heart disease. Dark chocolate is rich in flavanoids, natural antioxidants,
which help to thin the blood and reduce damage caused by LDL (bad)
cholesterol.
-
Enjoy one
small glass of red wine with your evening meal.
-
Have checks
with your Doctor for cholesterol, homocysteine, blood pressure,
and chronic inflammation (high sensitivity CRP – a level greater
than 1.0 suggests a problem – chronic inflammation is often asymptomatic
but is a cause of a great many health problems.)
-
Take Higher
Nature Cardio (this page) and
Omega-3
essential fats.
-
Cut out smoking.
-
Lose weight
if necessary.
-
Research has
shown that people who live alone are more prone to heart disease
than people who have a partner. It’s a good idea to do what you
can to socialise.

Higher Nature
Higher Nature have
introduced Food FormTM vitamins and minerals to the UK and Europe. Their
'True Food CTM' was the first nutrition supplement product in the UK
and Europe to provide a concentrated source of vitamin C truly bonded
to proteins, carbohydrates and lipids in exactly the same was as in
an orange.
Higher Nature state
that 'by pre-digesting the Ultra Food FormTM range of nutrients, they
ensure that people with food sensitivities or allergies will not react
to these supplements. Why? Because food allergies are triggered by long
chain proteins and polysaccharides in foods.
In Higher Nature Ultra
Food FormTM nutrition supplements these big molecules have been pre-digested
and broken down by natural enzymes, making absorption easy, and sensitivity
reactions very unlikely.
