Many things can break the human heart. In spite of major advances in medical research, many people die of a heart attack or cardiovascular disease. This number one cause of death is discussed in detail in Dr. Holt’s book entitled “The Natural Way to a Healthy Heart” (M. Evans Publishers Inc., NY, NY, 1999). Dr. Holt has proposed a “cardio plan” for maintenance of heart health which includes the obvious such as weight control, blood pressure control, exercise, cessation of substance abuse, maintenance of psychological wellbeing and moderation of behavior. The dietary supplement industry keeps focusing upon single agents for heart health such as Vitamin E, co-enzyme Q10, ribose and the rest. Again, who would be so naďve enough to believe that a single agent is a solution to the problem of cardiovascular disease?

Heart Naturally is a dietary supplement that must not be used in the absence of positive lifestyle changes to promote cardiovascular health. Manufacturers of dietary supplements who minimize the importance of healthy blood cholesterol levels should join “the flat earth society”. Education in the prevention of heart disease is the most important preventive issue. Beyond these obligatory needs, emerge dietary supplements that provide nutritional support for heart health. Over the past decade, the dietary supplement industry has made billions of dollars from the sale of nutritional products for cardiovascular support. It is now time to take stock of the evidence base that exists for nutritional supplements that may support cardiovascular health.

Heart Naturally is a complex formulation of natural ingredients that support heart health and it contradicts the current propaganda in the supplement industry that single ingredients can support heart health. Dr. Holt draws attention to Cholesterol Naturally which is a fundamental first line approach to complement diet and exercise for cholesterol reduction, but the product Heart Naturally™ has an evidence base for specific support of heart function which can be used in combination with Cholesterol Naturally. The ingredients of Heart Naturally are a unique synergistic blend of natural nutrients and botanicals that have an evidence base as nutritional support for cardiovascular health. These ingredients include: N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Gingko Biloba, Magnesium, Citrus Bioflavanoids, Garlic Extract, Hawthorne Berries, Lecithin, Trimethylglycine, Isoflavones, Resveratrol, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Selenium, and Vitamin B12. As a complement to Heart Naturally, Dr. Holt has written extensively on the potent and versatile ability of omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) to promote cardiovascular and general cellular health (see Fish Oil Naturally), one of the condition specific products in the Healthcare Naturally line of revolutionary dietary supplements)
