For The Heart From The Heart

Ingredients mentioned in this video with their descriptions:

Taurine 500mgs - Taurine may facilitate the transport of Potassium into and out of the body's Cells and may help to prevent and treat Cardiomyopathy. Taurine concentrates in the Heart references and (5000-6000 mg per day of supplemental Taurine) may alleviate Ischemic Heart Disease. By normalizing Potassium flow into and out of Cardiac Muscle cells, Taurine normalizes the electrical excitability of the Cell Membranes of Cardiac Muscle and enhances the contractile strength of the Cardiac Muscle. Taurine modulates the activity of cyclic AMP within Cardiac Muscle. Persons who have experienced a Heart Attack often exhibit very low Taurine levels subsequent to their Heart Attack (indicating that supplemental Taurine may be highly advisable for persons who have experienced a Heart Attack). Taurine may also help to prevent a Heart Attack as it may help prevent potentially lethal Arrhythmias after Heart Attacks. Taurine is the most abundant and most important Amino Acid in the Heart (it is present in the Heart in greater quatities than all other Amino Acids combined). Taurine (6000 mg per day) may lower Blood Pressure in Hypertension patients (by suppressing Renin-Angiotensin). It usually requires four weeks of daily supplementation with Taurine before its Blood Pressure lowering effects occur.

Magnesium Citrate or Malate - Magnesium may exert antispasmodic effects on Blood Vessels. Magnesium supplementation may improve Heart function in Cardiomyopathy patients. It may also be beneficial for the treatment of Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Magnesium may prevent and treat most types of Cardiovascular Diseases. Approximately 85% of Mitral Valve Prolapse patients exhibit Magnesium deficiency and oral Magnesium supplementation (600-1800 mg per day) may alleviate many cases of Mitral Valve Prolapse. Magnesium supplementation may provide significant protection against Strokes (the Blood Vessels that supply the Brain are prone to vascular spasm during Magnesium deficiency and these vascular spasms that occur during Magnesium deficiency may result in a Stroke. With Magnesium supplementation, the Cerebral Arteries may relax and Blood Circulation to the Brain may improve). Magnesium (administered within six hours after the occurrence of a Stroke) may reduce the after-effects of Strokes. 100mgs and Potassium citrate 99mgs--this will regulate the heart and initially use each dose of each 3 times per day. Potassium is a very important mineral for the proper function of all cells, tissues, and organs in the human body. It is also an electrolyte (a substance that conducts electricity in the body) along with sodium, chloride, calcium and magnesium. Potassium is crucial to heart function and plays a key role in skeletal and smooth muscle contractions making it important for normal digestive and muscular function. Other studies show that increasing potassium intake reduces the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Researchers suspect that this is largely due to potassium's blood pressure lowering effects.

Hawthorn Leaf - may improve the utilization of Oxygen by the Cardiac Muscle and improves Blood Circulation to the Cardiac Muscle. Hawthorn may prevent and treat many Cardiovascular Diseases. Hawthorn (pretreatment) may minimize the Brain damage that occurs after the occurrence of an ischemic Stroke. It may also protect the Heart against Hypoxia. Hawthorn may alleviate Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) by increasing the strength of Cardiac Muscle contractions and increasing blood circulation to the heart and by reducing the resistance of blood circulation in peripheral tissue. Hawthorn may also improve the production of energy within the heart and may improve the contrations of the heart muscle wall (the Myocardium) allowing it to more efficiently pump blood through the body and also protects the heart against Hypoxia. Hawthorn and Ginger Root may increase the contraction strength of the heart and may improve Energy production in the heart (due to its ability to increase the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) by the heart. Recipe: to make a tea, take about a 3 inch slice of ginger--peel and chop--and add equal amounts of either Hawthorn Berry or Leaf and bring to a boil. Or, you can percolate this or take the same portions and and extract them in alcohol.

Olive Oil - Visioli and Galli reported that Oleuropein shows anti-athergenic activity. In 2003, Carluccio MA et al. reported that oleuropein reduces monocytoid cell adhesion to stimulated endothelium as well as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. Reflow in ischemic hearts was accompanied by a prompt release of oxidized glutathione in ischemic hearts pretreated with oleuropein. This release was significantly reduced and was accompanied by prevention of membrane lipid peroxidation, which is considered a key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
