Heart Health Supplements: How They Can Help

Article Summary:

  • Heart health supplements contain various bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and polyphenols, that exert antioxidant effects and help maintain healthy inflammatory responses in cardiac cells.*
  • Certain supplement ingredients display poor bioavailability and absorption, compromising the efficacy of the heart health supplements that contain them.
  • Tesseract’s proprietary CyLoc® – DexKey® nutrient delivery nanotechnology enables targeted delivery of active nutrients, resulting in their optimal absorption for supporting heart health.*

Maintaining a healthy heart relies on consistent lifestyle practices, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity. While dietary approaches ensure that nutritional requirements are being met through foods, heart health supplements can support cardiovascular wellness by addressing potential nutritional gaps. Although several studies indicate the promising potential of specific ingredients contained in heart health supplement formulations, evidence has been largely inconclusive. 

Therefore,  consulting with a healthcare provider before adding heart health supplements to your regimen is always recommended. In this post, we discuss the therapeutic effects of various ingredients used in heart health supplements and how they can promote optimal cardiovascular health.*

Common Ingredients of Heart Health Supplements: How Do They Work? 

Nutritional supplements that contain bioactive compounds, such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols, have been advocated to promote cardiovascular health.* The following table highlights the common ingredients in commercially available heart health supplements and how they help maintain optimal heart function.  

Heart Health Supplements: Ingredients and How They Work

Anandamide
  • Endocannabinoids, such as anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, are synthesized from membrane phospholipids in cardiac tissues. The endocannabinoids exert their cardioprotective effects1 by —
    1. Acting as a stress response system when certain cardiac events occur.* 
    2. Limiting the progression of fat buildup in the walls of arteries.* 
    3. Relaxing coronary and other arteries to decrease cardiac exertion.* 

Coenzyme Q10
  • As an endogenous antioxidant with the highest concentration in the heart, CoQ10 promotes heart health by —
    1. Lowering oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction — primary factors in a wide range of adverse cardiac conditions.* 
    2. Helping maintain healthy levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, enhancing endothelial function, and limiting vascular stiffness. 

Quercetin
  • Quercetin, a flavonoid, exerts antioxidant effects and helps maintain the body’s natural inflammatory response.* Quercetin supports heart functions through —
    1. Inhibiting LDL oxidation and the expression of adhesion molecules in aortic endothelial cells to help maintain healthy arteries.*  
    2. Up-regulating the cell signaling pathways that inhibit oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL).* 
    3. Helping to maintain normal blood pressure levels.*

Citrulline
  • The amino acid L-citrulline, found in high concentrations in watermelon, exerts cardioprotective effects through —
    1. Enhancing L-arginine and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, thus enhancing vasodilation.* 
    2. Helping to maintain healthy blood pressure through endogenous synthesis of L-arginine and NO.* 

R-Lipoic Acid
  • A natural antioxidant synthesized in the mitochondria of the liver and other tissues, it plays a critical role in metabolism. Lipoic acid promotes heart health through —
    1. Regulating cellular oxidation and limiting the harmful effects of oxidative stress on cardiac cells.*
    2. Directly scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and regenerating other antioxidants, including glutathione and vitamins E and C.*   

Although the therapeutic benefits of heart health supplement ingredients are well-researched, the poor solubility and absorption of active nutrients can adversely impact the efficacy of most supplement formulations. An advanced nutrient delivery system can enhance the bioavailability and absorption of active nutrients, making them a therapeutic reality.  

Including Heart Health Supplements in Your Diet

The proprietary CyLoc® – DexKey® nutrient delivery nanotechnology developed by Tesseract Medical Research optimizes the bioavailability and absorption of active nutrients to realize their therapeutic role in promoting heart health.* The following are heart health supplements developed by Tesseract Medical Research to help maintain healthy heart function.*    

  • AnaQuell®: The unique formulation contains anandamide and L-citrulline for supporting a healthy response to stress and anxiety (non-GAD).* The improved bioavailability of L-citrulline enhances NO production and promotes heart health.* 
  • CoQ10 Pro®: The enhanced solubility, absorption, and targeted delivery of CoQ10 molecules make CoQ10 Pro® stand out among commercially available CoQ10 supplements. In addition to promoting heart health, CoQ10 Pro also helps counter the muscle pains that are a common side effect of taking a statin medication to lower blood cholesterol levels.* 
  • NOX Flo SR®: This supplement contains a proprietary blend of Hesperidin 2S rutinosides, Diosmin citrus flavonoids, CoEnzyme Q10, Citrulline, and R-Lipoic Acid to enhance nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, NO-dependent endothelial function, and vasodilation.* 
  • QuerciSorb®: This quercetin supplement contains a proprietary complex that downregulates exaggerated immune responses, promotes healthy blood pressure, inhibits LDL cholesterol oxidation, and supports optimal cardiovascular function.*

Tesseract’s powerful heart health supplements offer a more palatable and effective way of supporting your cardiovascular health.*
