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.

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.

- Able to comply with all study-related visits

- Able to give Informed Consent

- Negative for HcG with a serum pregnancy test

- If the patient has diabetes mellitus it must be controlled (HbA1c < 9.0%)

- Life expectancy of 1 year or more in the opinion of the investigator.

- Hematocrit ≥ 28.0%, White Blood Cell count ≤ 14,000, Platelet count ≥ 50,000, Serum
bilirubin, ALT, AST x 2.5 time the upper level of normal.

pressure of ≤100 mmHG) and established anti-hypertensive therapy as necessary prior

reliable birth control method, or who intend to become pregnant during the tenure of
this study.

- End stage renal disease (Creatinine ≤ 3.0 mg / dl) and/or dialysis

cellular therapy
