Heart & Cardiovascular
CoQ10, omega-3, fish oil, and cardiovascular support supplements.
Fish Oil (Omega-3)
Heart health, triglyceride reduction, inflammation, joint support, brain health
CoQ10 (Ubiquinol)
Heart failure support, statin-induced myopathy relief, cellular energy production, antioxidant protection
Krill Oil
Provides phospholipid-bound omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) for cardiovascular, joint, and anti-inflammatory support with potentially better absorption than fish oil.
EPA Fish Oil
Lowers triglycerides and reduces major adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk patients, with strongest evidence at high doses (1,000-4,000 mg EPA daily).
Algal Oil (Vegan Omega-3)
DHA and EPA omega-3s from a vegan source - brain health, cardiovascular protection, inflammation reduction
Psyllium Husk
Soluble fiber that improves bowel regularity, lowers LDL cholesterol, and moderates post-meal blood glucose spikes. One of the few supplements with an FDA-approved health claim for heart disease risk reduction.
Cod Liver Oil
Combined source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA), vitamin A, and vitamin D
Taurine
Blood pressure support, exercise endurance, cardiovascular and metabolic health
L-Carnitine
Exercise recovery, post-MI cardiovascular support, modest fat-loss adjunct, and male fertility
Astaxanthin
Skin photoprotection, eye fatigue, oxidative stress
Resveratrol
Modest improvements in insulin sensitivity, endothelial function, and systolic blood pressure in metabolic and cardiovascular populations
Citicoline
Attention, focus, age-related memory support, and cognitive recovery after ischemic insults
Garlic Extract
Modest blood pressure reduction in hypertensives, small LDL cholesterol drop, mild antiplatelet effect, possible cold-frequency reduction
Nattokinase
Modest blood pressure reduction in hypertensives, fibrinolytic biomarker effects, theoretical clot prevention
Policosanol
Marketed for cholesterol lowering and cardiovascular support, but the LDL-lowering claim has failed every independent replication trial since 2006.
Red Yeast Rice
LDL cholesterol reduction (only when the product actually contains monacolin K, which functions as a low-dose statin)
Spirulina
Modest improvements in lipid panel, blood pressure, exercise endurance, and inflammatory markers from a nutrient-dense microalgae
Chlorella
Modest LDL and blood pressure support, mucosal immune (sIgA) signal in athletes
Moringa
Whole-leaf nutrient density, with early signals for blood glucose, lipids, and inflammation in small RCTs
Olive Leaf Extract
Mild blood pressure reduction, modest triglyceride and LDL improvements, antioxidant support
L-Arginine
Nitric oxide precursor for vasodilation, mild ED support, and amino acid pool
