Heart Health: Part 2

Nutrients associated with their ability to help lower homocysteine levels include:

Folic Acid - also known as Vitamin B9, folic acid can help the body produce the enzymes necessary to remove homocysteine from the blood.

Vitamin B6 - along with folic acid and Vitamin B12, helps reduce homocysteine levels.

Vitamin B12 - works with folic acid and Vitamin B6 to assist in homocysteine removal.

Nutrients associated with their ability to help lower CRP (C-Reactive Protein) levels include:

Fish Oil - the essential fatty acids in fish oil have been shown to decrease inflammation and, in turn, CPR levels.

Ginger - Ginger root extract can help reduce inflammation, as it relaxes the muscles surrounding blood vessels and facilitates circulation.

MSM - Methyl Sulfonyl Methane, commonly known as MSM, is a naturally occurring sulfur compound that has strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Please Remember: Mixing and matching nutrients on your own could be dangerous to your health as they could interact adversely. All of these nutrients have to be balanced perfectly in order to be optimally effective.
