Evaluation of the Metabolic and Physiological Profiles of Patients Diagnosed With Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Following Administration of the Novel Cardiovascular Vitamin, CardioLife
Evaluation of the metabolic and physiological characteristics of patients with diagnosed
Cardiovascular Disease following administration of the Cardiovascular vitamin, CardioLife.
Cardiovascular Disease following administration of the Cardiovascular vitamin, CardioLife.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cardiovascular
nutraceutical supplement, CardioLife™ in patients with diagnosed Cardiovascular Disease
(CVD). CardioLife is a novel nutraceutical intended for the prevention and management of
cardiovascular risk factors, enhancement of cardiac performance and the treatment of cardiac
dysfunction. This is an oral vitamin supplement comprising of the following main
ingredients: garlic co-enzyme Q10, Arjuna, Hawthorn, Guggul, Red Yeast Rice, Policosanol,
Nattokinase, Tumeric/curcumin, ashangandha, L-carnitine, grape seed extract, and vitamin
B12.
