Heart Response was formulated to include key nutrients and herbs known to support
the cardiovascular system.

• Hawthorn:
  Hawthorn, a rich source of flavonoids and procyanidins, has been used traditionally
  all over the world as a strengthening circulatory and heart tonic. Modern
  research has documented that hawthorn increases coronary blood flow and strengthens
  the contraction of heart muscle. Hawthorn is also an antioxidant, which scavenges
  and neutralizes destructive free radicals. It is only when cholesterol is
  oxidized that it impacts the integrity of arteries.

• Coenzyme Q10:
  HEART RESPONSE supplies 60 mg daily of CoQ10, a key enzyme in the Electron
  Transport Chain, the pathway that generates 90% of the ATP energy currency
  needed by the body. Heart muscle requires huge amounts of energy to perform
  efficiently – it beats more than 100,000 times each day, pumping more than
  1,000 gallons of blood through the body. The heart utilizes ATP as an energy
  source for muscular contraction. CoQ10 also is a fat-soluble antioxidant.

• L-Carnitine:
  Carnitine is an amino acid-derived substance that supports heart muscle metabolism.
  Carnitine is needed to carry long chain fatty acids into the cell mitochondria,
  where they undergo oxidation to generate energy. The heart utilizes fatty
  acids as a preferred energy source for its metabolism. HEART RESPONSE delivers
  300 mg per day of carntine.

• Taurine and Magnesium:
  Magnesium and taurine work closely together in the body to help maintain the
  normal electrical rhythm of the heart. Taurine comprises more than 50% of
  the free amino acid pool in our hearts, and has many electrophysiological
  effects on cardiac muscle cells. Alterations in magnesium levels can have
  profound effects on the heart. Magnesium is involved in autonomic control
  of the heart through several mechanisms.

• Bromelain:
  Bromelain is an enzyme mixture prepared from pineapple stems. Pineapple has
  been used for its health benefits for more than 500 years.

• Grape Seed Extract:
  Grape seed is a source of procyanidins. These plant constituents are strong
  antioxidants that inhibit lipid peroxidation and scavenge free radicals. In
  vitro studies have demonstrated that procyanidins support the integrity of
  connective tissue.

• Garlic:
  The use of garlic for its health benefits predates written history. Garlic s
  volatile oil includes sulfur-containing compounds such as allicin, which are
  considered to be important biological constituents.

• Selenium:
  Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is necessary for the activity
  of the important antioxidant glutathione. Antioxidants are crucial for protecting
  cholesterol from oxidation, which in turn helps to maintain healthy blood
  vessels.

• B-Vitamins:
  Preventing an undesirable buildup of homocysteine levels may help support
  the integrity of arteries. Vitamins B-6, B-12 and folic acid are critical
  to the regulation of homocysteine levels.
