With all of the new information coming out each month about natural dietary supplements and improvements in heart health, this is an exciting time for learning ways to give your heart extra years of life. There are many vendors offering natural supplements to help cardiac health, but some definitely stand out in comparison.
Dr. Stephen Sinatra is one of the groundbreaking leaders when it comes to designing and creating natural supplements for people looking to improve cardiac health.
Omega Q Plus
 His most recent offering is the daily supplement Omega Q Plus. This supplement combines five essential natural ingredients that all help the heart in different ways. The first is "Hydro Q-Sorb" – a variant of CoQ10 that is formulated to make it eight times more accessible to the body. CoQ10 is an enzyme used by the body in cellular metabolism to assist in the burning of food and the release of energy. The second ingredient is "Ultra-Healthy" CardioQuality Fish Oil, offering concentrated Omega-3 fatty acids designed to help regulate triglyceride levels, elevate HDL cholesterol, and improve blood vessel function.
L-Carnitine
The third ingredient in Dr. Sinatra's Omega Q Plus is L-Carnitine Fumarate, a natural supplement that sends Omega-3 fatty acids directly to the cells, where they can create energy. Natural Vitamin E and a Vitamin B complex complete the supplement. Vitamin E has long been known as a strong antioxidant that also clears the way for healthy blood flow and red blood cell formation. The B-Vitamins help ensure healthy (low) levels of homocysteine, a chemical in the blood that is a marker for cholesterol LDL plaque deposits in the arteries and veins, meaning that B-Vitamins help to reduce this.
Other Natural Supplements
There are other ingredients in other natural supplements that can also be helpful in maintaining a healthy heart. Magnesium, for example, helps keep your heart rhythm moving at a consistent rate. You can find magnesium in chlorophyll-rich food supplements, such as wheatgrass and barley grass.
Vitamin C is helpful for the heart in that it serves as an anticoagulant, strengthens the walls of your arteries, and interferes with arteriosclerosis. Selenium has powerful antioxidant properties that help keep blood vessels clear. Chromium has been shown to elevate HDL ("good") cholesterol levels.
Garlic assists in strengthening the circulatory system and in reducing high blood pressure. Glucosamine affects the way bodies build and maintain heart valves. Lecithin has inositol and choline, which also are in the Vitamin B complex, and help reduce cholesterol.
These natural supplements will help get you started on a healthy heart regimen. However, before you begin any long-term course of dietary supplements, a good practice is to consult with your physician.
