Overview
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and a major cause of disability. In 2009, it is estimated that 785,000 Americans will have a new coronary attack and approximately 470,000 will have a recurrent episode. High cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, tobacco use and second hand smoke are associated risk factors of heart disease. The chance of developing heart disease can be reduced by controlling these risk factors.

A healthy lifestyle including diet and exercise are the best weapons to combat heart disease. Because so many of today's typical diets lack fundamental nutritional elements, supplements can add to one's ability to control the risk factors of heart disease. Our Cardiac Support formula contains phytosterols, or plant sterols, to help reduce these risks. Positive research and studies have shown the effects of phytosterols on cholesterol with one study concluding that consuming 2 grams of phytosterols daily could reduce the risk of heart disease by as much as 25%. The FDA has recently approved the following claim on supplements containing phytosterols: Dietary supplements or food containing at least 400mg per serving of free phytosterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 800mg, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol. Our Cardiac Support formula contains a total of 500mg of phytosterols as well as Grape Seed Extract and Grape Skin Extract. As potent antioxidants, both Grape Seed Extract and Grape Skin Extract have demonstrated the ability to inhibit lipid peroxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
