Why These Natural Ingredients?

Berberine Sulfate
Berberine is a bright yellow alkaloid found in several medicinal plants. It has been shown to have numerous effects which benefit the heart such as enhanced coronary blood flow and oxygenation, decreased vasoconstriction and strengthened heart contractility. Other studies have shown improved quality of life with decreased complications, rehospitalizations and mortality. The long and safe use of berberine sulfate makes it a perfect addition to this blend.

Hawthorne Extract
Hawthorne, called Crataegus by the herbalists that have used it for centuries, is considered to be a vital cardiotonic, effectively strengthening the contractile force of the heart while increasing blood flow. Our hawthorne extract is standardized for vitexin rhamnoside.

Taurine, L-Carnitine
Taurine is known for helping balance calcium and potassium in muscle cells, and is an important factor in helping the heart muscle pump stronger. Several studies indicate taurine is a safe, effective therapeutic tool in the management of various types of cardiovascular conditions due to its positive inotropic effects. Human studies with L-carnitine supplementation have yielded significant clinical results in a variety of cardiovascular related trials. As secondary amino acids, both help support the energy of cardiac muscle tissue and help balance calcium and potassium— vital for efficient heart function.

Quercetin
Quercetin, a bioflavonoid with numerous beneficial properties has been shown to have remarkable effects in both induced and spontaneous animal models of hypertension. These benefits seem to be related to quercetin’s antioxidant properties which result in endothelial and end-organ protection.
