Arteriosclerosis

Fish oil contains omega 3 fatty acids; increases HDL (good) cholesterol; reduces triglycerides, homocysteine and blood pressure; reduces plaque formation in blood vessels and the plaque size. Take 6-9 g of fish oil daily, containing 18% EPA and 12% DHA, in divided doses, for many months.

Tocotrienols are antioxidant; neutralize free radicals; slow down hardening of arteries; reduce blood clot formation; reduce plaque formation in blood vessels. Take 125-500 mg of tocotrienols daily, in divided doses, with oil containing meals, for many months.

Arginine improves physical activity capacity, tolerance and nitric oxide production; dilates blood vessels; reduces plaque formation in blood vessels and the plaque size; alleviates symptoms. Take 3-10 g of arginine daily, in divided doses, for many months.

Arjuna bark improves heart function and heart's pumping capacity; prevents heart failure; reduces blood pressure and total cholesterol. Take 0.3-1.5 g of arjuna bark daily, in divided doses, for many months.

Carnitine reduces triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, plaque thickness in arteries and oxygen need of heart; improves HDL (good) cholesterol, heart function and energy production; alleviates symptoms; used for prevention and treatment.Take 1.5-3.0 g of carnitine daily, in divided doses, for many months. Propionyl carnitine works better.

DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid; it is a blood thinner; reduces blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides; reduces blood clots and plaque formation in blood vessels and the plaque size. Take 1-2 g of DHA daily, in divided doses, for many months.

Garlic is a blood thinner; reduces total cholesterol, blood pressure, platelet aggregation and blood clot formation; neutralizes free radicals; slows down the progression and hardening of arteries. Take garlic, containing 5-15 mg of alliin or 2.5-5.0 mg of allicin potential or 2-6 g of aged garlic daily, in divided doses, for many months.

Mesoglycan is a blood thinner; helps to repair arteries; reduces total cholesterol. Take 100-300 mg of mesoglycan daily, in divided doses, for many months.

Chromium balances blood sugar; helps to lose weight; reduces total cholesterol; reduces heart disease risk. Take 200-500 mcg of chromium daily, in divided doses, for many months.

Dan-shen root is a blood thinner; reduces platelet aggregation; protects heart; improves coronary circulation; improves heart function; improves heart's pumping capacity. Take 2.5-5.0 g of dried dan-shen root daily, in divided doses, for many months.
