Many factors combine to influence cardiovascular function and can create considerable challenges to maintaining optimal heart and vascular health. Cardio Sure provides a comprehensive formula which is a great addition to a healthy diet and exercise program. Cardio Sure was developed to help maintain healthy heart function, while protecting heart and vascular tissue from the oxidative effects of stress and aging.* Acetyl-L-carnitine is the biologically active form of the amino acid L-carnitine and has been shown to protect cells throughout the body against age-related degeneration. Some evidence suggests that it can be used along with conventional treatment for angina, to improve symptoms and reduce medication needs. When combined with conventional therapy, it may also reduce mortality rates after a heart attack. ALCAR helps supply the brain with energy by improving energetics in the mitochondrion, the cell's energy generator. ALCAR promotes biosynthesis of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for brain and nerve function. Coenzyme Q10 is involved in energy production at the cellular level, is vital for sustaining life and is found in greatest abundance in the heart. The heart requires more CoQ10 to provide energy needed to pump blood throughout the body. It is also most sensitive to CoQ10 deficiency. Numerous clinical trials have shown that patients with congestive heart failure have low CoQ10 blood levels. Generally, the worse the heart condition, the lower the CoQ10 level. In addition, studies have shown that when administered orally, CoQ10 is an effective therapeutic agent in the prevention and treatment of heart disease.* L-Citrulline helps in the production of NO which improves arterial blood flow and relaxes blood vessels.* NO also has antioxidant functions, helping to protect cardiovascular tissues from oxidative damage leading to hardening of the arteries.* In addition Citrulline also increases energy, stimulates the immune system, and is essential for Urea Cycle function as well. Lycopene is one of a family of pigments called carotenoids, which occur naturally in fruits and vegetables. Lycopene is an antioxidant that once absorbed by the body, helps to prevent and repair damaged cells. Antioxidants are compounds that fight free radicals in the body and have been shown to inhibit DNA oxidation that some studies indicate may lead to some cancers.* Lycopene is a lipid soluble antioxidant that is transported in the blood through lipoproteins. The absorption of lycopene and other carotenoids, including beta-carotene and vitamin E, has been shown to prevent the oxidation of LDL (or bad) cholesterol. Pomegranate Extract is a rich source of folic acid, antioxidants, polyphenols. The most abundant polyphenols in pomegranate are hydrolysable tannins, particularly punicalagins, are the most important components responsible for pomegranate's antioxidant and health benefits. Punicalagins not only offers safeguards the heart and blood vessels but may also play a key role in lowering cholesterol, reducing blood pressure and preventing atherosclerosis (heart blockages).* D-Ribose (or simply ribose) is a simple, 5-carbon monosaccharide, or pentose sugar. It is used by all the cells of the body and is an essential compound in energy metabolism. Ribose also provides the structural backbone of our genetic material, DNA and RNA, certain vitamins and other important cellular compounds. Research has shown that ribose promotes cardiovascular health and reduces cardiac stress associated with strenuous activity. Ribose helps hearts and muscles maintain healthy energy levels, and it accelerates energy recovery when tissues are stressed.
