Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA found in fish oil and algae oil, are well-known for their ability to reduce triglycerides, lower blood pressure, and support overall cardiovascular health.
Plant Sterols and Stanols
Plant sterols and stanols are naturally occurring compounds that help lower cholesterol levels by reducing its absorption in the intestines.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, and polyphenols (found in berries, green tea, and dark chocolate) help protect blood vessels from oxidative stress and inflammation.
Dietary Fibers
Soluble fibers, such as beta-glucan (from oats) and psyllium, can help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and improve heart health.
Minerals
Minerals like magnesium and potassium support healthy blood pressure and normal heart rhythm.
Herbal Extracts
Certain herbal extracts, such as garlic, hawthorn, and grape seed extract, have been shown to support blood circulation and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
