• Cardio-Logic® is an exclusive formula designed
by Arnold Fox, M.D., "The Anti-Aging Doctor". Its unique combination
of Aged Garlic Extract, L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a-lipoic acid, vitamins
E, B6, B12 and folate lowers elevated homocysteine levels and supports cardiovascular
health.
• Excessive serum cholesterol and homocysteine can damage the cardiovascular
system. Recent studies have concluded that elevated homocysteine levels may
be an independent risk factor for the development of heart disease. Homocysteine
damages cells that line the veins or arteries and stimulates the development
of scar tissue in the damaged area. It has also been shown to both activate
clotting factors and to hamper their inactivation.
• Sufficient energy production is indispensable to maintain healthy heart
function. Processes that regulate proper cardiac muscular function, such as
nerve stimulation and actual beating of the heart, require a sufficient and
continuous energy supply. To generate energy, cells burn the foods we eat for
fuel. This sophisticated burning process is delicately regulated by several
important factors including CoQ10, a-lipoic acid, vitamin B12 and L-carnitine,
each of which is included in Cardio-Logic.
• It is well known that oxidants/free radicals contribute to the development
of cardiovascular diseases. As long as antioxidants and free radicals are in
balance, no serious problems arise. However, once free radicals overwhelm the
internal or dietary antioxidant supply (due to poor eating habits, stress, sickness,
injury, degenerative diseases, overexertion or other factors), free radicals
begin to cause damage to cells and tissues (including the cardiovascular system)
and can even disrupt their proper functioning. Supplemental antioxidants play
a significant role in the body's defense against an excess level of free radicals
and the damage they can cause.
