Hawthorn supplement for heart support
Hawthorn (Crataegus) is a traditional botanical whose flowers, leaves and berries have been used for generations. In CardioX it is included as a standardised extract, forming the botanical heart of the formula. We describe it only in terms of its traditional use, without any medicinal claim.
Magnesium and potassium
People often ask what does magnesium and potassium do for the heart. Under recognised nutrient function claims, potassium contributes to the normal function of the heart, and magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. These are general nutrient roles that apply whether the nutrient comes from food or a supplement.
Vitamins B1 and C
Vitamin B1 (thiamin) contributes to the normal function of the heart. Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Together they round out the vitamins for heart health after 50 that CardioX provides.
Food supplement. Not a medicine. Nutrient function claims refer to the named nutrient, not to the product as a whole. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
