"As a cardiologist, I always favor options backed by good research. These four are backed by research." C. Michael Gibson, M.D.
1. Omega-3 fatty acids: These are found in fish oil, flaxseeds, walnuts, but it is hard to get enough from food sources.
2. Red Yeast Rice: Produced mostly in China, red yeast rice contains lovastatin, which has been found to lower cholesterol.
3. Vitamin D: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to risk for heart attack. We cannot get enough of this from food or the sun, if we live in a northern hemisphere.
4. Coenzyme Q10: Research over many years has shown this supplement to improve heart function and give us more energy.
See your doctor for dosage and to see if taking these supplements will help you.
