A healthy cardiovascular system is key to everyone's good health. Heart disease is the number one killer in the Western world!

Heart disease is an umbrella term used to cover a multitude of diseases including angina, atherosclerosis, cholesterol, hypertension and arrhythmia.

The heart is really just a large muscle that pumps blood around the body via a highly intricate network or veins, arteries and capillaries. The blood that is pumped is so important to all of our bodies systems as it carries oxygen in, and carbon dioxide out, and essential nutrients to every organ in the body, to keep us fit and healthy.

If our blood vessels become blocked or restricted by fur or plaque, extra strain is put on our heart due to the increase in blood pressure (hypertension). By making sure you have the correct intake of nutrients you can help control cholesterol levels, blood flow, heartbeat, and reduce high blood pressure, and so subsequently heart disease.

There are many nutrients that can help with heart health, and these can have an effect on homocysteine levels, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and triglycerides. They include, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Co Enzyme Q10, Omega-3 essential fatty acids and the amino acid Arginine.
