The latest evidence-based reporting in Cardiovascular Health.
Science UpdateA homocysteine-targeted nutraceutical with B vitamins and TMG lowered homocysteine in seven patients, with reductions from 9.4% to 46.4%.
Research & EducationCoQ10 readily converts between ubiquinone and ubiquinol, and evidence suggests formulation and delivery system may matter more than which form is taken.
Research & EducationGeranylgeraniol, an upstream precursor in CoQ10 synthesis, may help restore mitochondrial function that CoQ10 supplementation alone leaves incomplete.
Research & EducationIntestinal permeability lets microbial products like LPS enter circulation, driving inflammation linked to cardiovascular disease risk.
Research & EducationMitochondrial function shapes cardiac energy production, and nutrients like CoQ10, L-carnitine, magnesium, and NAD+ precursors may support heart health.
Science UpdateA six month Mediterranean diet and nutraceutical protocol supported drops in blood glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol in a man with metabolic syndrome.
Research & EducationOxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction are closely tied to erectile dysfunction, and antioxidants like vitamin C and E may support vascular health.
Research & EducationStatins and metformin, two of the most prescribed drugs in the US, can deplete CoQ10 and vitamin B12, raising myopathy and neuropathy risks.
Science UpdateFava bean peptides matched milk protein in limiting muscle loss during immobilization and showed greater protein synthesis during recovery.
Research & EducationL-threonate-bound magnesium crosses the blood-brain barrier and has been shown in trials to support memory, cognition, and executive function.
Research & EducationFava bean derived peptides supported muscle strength recovery, reduced fatigue, and matched milk protein for muscle regain after immobilization.
