Q10 (CoQ10 or Q10) |
 to 
(What's this?)Must-take #1 - Coenzyme Q10 is required for the heart to function properly. This is a must-take herb if you suffer from any type of heart disease, especially if it is congestive heart failure (CHF). The scientific evidence of benefits in taking CoQ10 depends on what it is to treat. Dosage: Take 100 mg daily. Doses as high as 1,200 mg daily (in divided dose) have been used. |
| Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids) |  Must-take #2 - Another must-take herb. Not only is it essential for lowering high cholesterol, this supplement shows anti-inflammatory benefits and can protect the heart and coronary arteries. Dosage would be similar to that used to lower cholesterol. We suggest taking 2 to 4 grams daily. |
| Garlic | Must-take #3 - The third must-take herb. Garlic is proven to help protect the heart and the coronary arteries. It is a potent anti-oxidant and it can protect the vessels from damage caused by high cholesterol. Dosage: We suggest taking 200 to 400 mg three times daily. |
| L-Arginine |  Arginine is scientifically shown to be helpful in treating angina and heart failure. Dosage: Take 3 to 6 grams up to three times daily. |
| Policosanol | Policosanol seems to help those suffering from heart disease by reducing angina symptoms during exercise and maximizing oxygen uptake. Dosage: Take 5 to 10 mg twice daily. |
| Astragalus | Astragalus has been suggested to be helpful in treating disease involving the heart. It is shown to be helpful in treating chest pain (angina) symptoms. Dosage: Experts suggest using 200 mg of the root extract per kilogram (or 90 mg per lb) of body weight. |
Vitamins & Minerals for Preventing and Curing Heart Disease
| Vitamins & Minerals | What experts say about them |
| B-Complex |
Helpful The latest studies discovered that high homocystine levels seem to be linked to increased risk of getting heart related disease. Take a B-Complex vitamin that includes folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 to help lower homocystine levels. Dosage: Take a B-50 or B-100 Complex vitamin daily. |
| Antioxidants | Helpful Antioxidants will prevent free radical damage to the "bad" cholesterol (LDL) that will damage your arteries. This will help to slow down atherosclerosis. The common antioxidants include vitamin C and vitamin E. Take 500 mg of vitamin C and 400 IU of vitamin E daily. Many berry fruits such as acai, pomegranate, strawberries and blueberries contain potent antioxidants that can prevent oxidative cell damage. |
| Multivitamin | Helpful This is added here to remind you the need to take a high-potency multivitamin supplement once daily. Unless your diet is perfect (which no one is), it will help fill in any "missing" vitamins and minerals. |
This list of natural remedies for heart disease will give you an excellent idea on what you can take to cut the risk of developing heart disease.
