Benefits of Cardio-Plus® for Heart Health


Cardio-Plus supports the cardiovascular system in a number of ways. This system is responsible for circulating blood, nutrients, and oxygen to the entire body. Keeping this system supported by essential vitamins through diet is important in its functioning. Cardio-Plus is an excellent source of niacin. Niacin has been shown to affect factors that contribute to supporting cardiovascular health.Cardio-Plus is also an excellent source of vitamin B6. Maintaining adequate vitamin Bconcentrations is important for heart health due to its role in homocysteine breakdown.7 Low vitamin B6 has been associated with higher homocysteine levels.8,9


How Cardio-Plus Provides Ingredients with Antioxidant Activity


Cardio-Plus provides a good source of antioxidant Vitamin C; one serving contains 15mg (17% DV) of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a particularly well-known antioxidant with high reducing power.10  Vitamin C,  Vitamin E (at 9% DV), and minerals such as selenium (at 5% DV) can carry out antioxidant activities.


How Cardio-Plus Supports Energy Metabolism*

Energy metabolism is a vital process in the human body and is especially important during exercise. B-vitamins — specifically riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and vitamin B6  are required for metabolism of substrates that are used for energy production.1  Riboflavin (B2) is a precursor for coenzymes that function as electron carriers in reactions involved in energy production, including breakdown of carbohydrates and metabolism of lipids.2,3 Cardio-Plus is an excellent source of riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B6. Niacin (B3) is a precursor to reducing molecules (NAD+ and NADP+) that are involved in energy production pathways, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, functions as a co-factor in many biochemical reactions in the body.4 Its active form, pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), is primarily involved in amino acid synthesis and breakdown.4 A PLP-dependent enzyme is also responsible for breakdown of stored glycogen to glucose to be used in energy metabolism.4

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cardio-Plus® used for?

Cardio-Plus® is formulated to support overall cardiovascular health, including heart muscle function, circulation, and vascular integrity. It’s ideal for foundational heart support.

How does Cardio-Plus® interact with or affects people who have high blood pressure?

High Blood Pressure Considerations

If you have high blood pressure, it’s important to evaluate Cardio-Plus cautiously, particularly due to a few key ingredients:

- These may contain naturally occurring compounds that support sympathetic nervous system function, potentially affecting blood pressure or heart rate in sensitive individuals.

- While designed to support cellular function in heart tissue, its effects can vary based on individual health status.

- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Although beneficial for overall cardiovascular support, certain forms of niacin in higher doses may cause vasodilation and impact blood pressure regulation.

While Cardio-Plus is not inherently contraindicated for all individuals with hypertension, it is best used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner who understands how it interacts with your medications, lifestyle, and health history.

How is Cardio-Plus® different from other heart supplements?

Unlike typical heart supplements, Cardio-Plus® combines whole food nutrients with bovine heart PMG™ extract to offer targeted support to heart tissue, along with vitamins that aid in energy metabolism and antioxidant defense.

Can I take Cardio-Plus® daily?

Yes. Cardio-Plus® is safe for daily use when taken as directed by your healthcare practitioner. It's often used long-term to maintain cardiovascular wellness.

Does Cardio-Plus® help with circulation?

Yes. Cardio-Plus® supports healthy blood flow and vascular function by providing nutrients that aid in red blood cell production and vessel tone.

Who should consider taking Cardio-Plus®?

Anyone seeking proactive cardiovascular support—especially those with a family history of heart issues, aging individuals, or people experiencing stress-related circulatory challenges—may benefit from Cardio-Plus® under professional guidance.
