Improving cardiovascular status
Following is a general heart healing protocol for adults using supplements that are safe and can be very effective in cardiovascular rebuilding. The suggested supplements will generally give positive results, but they will be enhanced and usually hastened by also following steps 1-5.
The supplements listed below are somewhat in the order of importance, but always focus on your own needs.

(1) Put aside stressful situations in your life and past traumas behind you, as stress alone can accelerate health decline. Focus on a positive outlook with healing your body, mind, and spirit as a priority. Research has shown that prayer, which puts the mind, body, and spirit into agreement with God and with the healthy actions you are taking is very helpful for optimum healing. God created a Universe of logic and order and has built into it “cause and effect”. We cannot expect regeneration of our physical mind and body if we continue to abuse them with unhealthy thoughts and unnecessary worries.  If you need help with a plan. 

(2) Re-think your alcohol and tobacco use as well as food abuse (overeating of foods, especially processed foods) as they will lower your immunity even further and may well be a part of the root cause of your health problems. It is impractical to expect regeneration of the physical mind and body if we continue to abuse them with unhealthy practices.  Reduce your alcohol to moderate levels.

(3) Drink non-chlorinated and non-fluorinated water (around 8 glasses per day). Generally people do not get enough water.

(4) Follow a Mediterranean style diet.  Increase fish, fruits and vegetables. Decrease red meat. 

(5) 

Take with meals to enhance digestion of meals. 
Take 

digestive enzymes with your supplements to enhance nutrient absorption. 
Taking on an empty stomach will enhance circulation by acting as a potent chelating agent to reduce plaque buildup and inflammation in the arteries. 
Young Living has many enzymes you can choose from.


Consider Super Cal Plus
Magnesium may be the important mineral in the body. Deficiencies of Magnesium and Calcium are often the root cause of heart angina and arrhythmias. Calcium is required for muscles (including the heart) to contract and Magnesium is essential for muscles to relax. An imbalance or deficiency of any three of these can severely interfere with normal heart function. For example, it is well known that muscle cramps elsewhere in the body are often caused by such deficiencies …and after all the heart is a muscle too. If you are having muscle cramps in the legs, this is a signal that you may be depleted in these minerals and under stress conditions your heart could be the next muscle to cramp causing angina or heart attack. 

.

Thyromin
(1)  is another of the most basic minerals which can affect heart rhythm and acute iodine deficiency is very prevalent in modern cultures. 2-10 drops per day may be used for ‘loading’ purposes in the case of iodine depletion.  Iodine is not only essential for proper heart rhythm, but is also critical for normal thyroid function.

(2) Thyroid powder

Super C
(Vitamin C taken with Lysine and Vitamin D can be extremely important vitamins in the regulation of blood pressure (along with Magnesium) and reducing arterial plaque (along with Enzymes). Dr. Linus Pauling was a vocal proponent of these supplements in improving cardiovascular health. He recommended using about 3000 mg per day of Vitamin C and 1500 mg of L-lysine.

Other supplement suggestions well worth consideration:
Cardiogize contains:
(1) Hawthorn is approved by German Commission E. The German Commission E approved hawthorn use for mild heart failure in the 1980s.
(2)  is one of the most vital and potent antioxidants for protecting and healing the heart. Its deficiency has been specifically linked to heart disease.


Omegagize contains:
(1) Omega Oils and essential fatty acids
The following health claims for EPA and DHA have been approved by The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Commission Regulation (EU):
  • DHA and EPA contribute to the normal function of the heart (0.25 g per day)
  • DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood pressure (3 g per day)
  • DHA and EPA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (2 g per day)
  • DHA contributes to maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (2 g per day in combination with EPA)
(2) Coenzyme Q10: Tissue deficiencies or subnormal serum levels of CoQ10 have been reported in a wide range of medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease and neuromuscular disease and hypertension. CoQ10 levels decline with advancing age, and this decline might contribute in part to some of the manifestations of aging. 

(3)   is an essential co-factor in Magnesium and Calcium utilization. Check levels and restore to optimal range.  Many people need 2000 IU- 5000 IU daily.  Some need more.

Essential Oils for support
(1)  Bergamot
The world-leading researcher of bergamot juice science is professor Vincenzo Mollace MD PhD, professor at the Faculty of Pharmacology & Toxicology, University of Catanzaro, Italy. One of his many investigations showed Bergamot monotherapy (on its own) to:
  • Be a powerful cardiometabolic regulator that routinely improves vascular health
  • Lowers cholesterol- total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDLc
  • Naturally treat metabolic syndrome
  • Significantly normalize liver function in patients with fatty liver disorders


(2) Research in recent years has show that the origins of some heart health issues is infectious bacteria. Consider essential oils to reduce the bacterial burden of your body. 


Master Formula contains:
(1) Chromium: supplementation may help to improve biomarkers of inflammation as markers of myocardial infarction.  conditions in which chromium might have beneficial effects: impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, dyslipidemia, and weight and lean body mass. 

Juvatone contains berberis
(1) Berberine has been researched for heart conditions, such as arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, heart failure, etc., revealed the cardiovascular protective mechanisms of BBR.

(2) Choline and Inositol

Supports the body’s natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after physical exertion
Delicious Mango Rose flavor
Unique, water-dispersible formula makes it 24 times more bioavailable than standard turmeric extracts. It absorbs quickly and easily, so you can enjoy the full benefits of turmeric 
Turmeric is an excellent source of curcuminoids, which help support the wellness properties in our bodies
Your body absorbs the same amount of curcuminoids from just 300 mg of Golden Turmeric as it does from 1,926 mg of standard turmeric.
Nighttime recovery drink to support our body's healthy inflammation response to relax, restore and recover
