Nutraceuticals for Heart Health White Paper

Medical conditions of the heart are steadily rising across different states though they can be preventable in some cases. Heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in the United States and accounts for nearly one in every four deaths. An estimated 6.2 million Americans are suffering from heart failure. This paper will address how nutraceutical products can play a significant but limited role in improving heart health.

Many Americans are already taking supplements for heart health, but not all supplements are created equal.

Certain types of nutraceutical products can directly impact your blood pressure and optimize cardiac health. Many Americans are taking various types of supplements for heart health, and it’s not hard to see why. Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in the country. Despite how it sounds, you don’t suddenly drop dead if you are diagnosed with heart failure. It is a progressive condition caused by the heart’s reduced ability to pump blood and oxygen, but it is treatable. There is a wide range of treatment options for heart failure. The more heart failure progresses, the more invasive these options become. Doctors may recommend lifestyle changes and medications to manage the condition and reduce the need for a surgical solution.

While studies have focused extensively on how various supplements can help to improve heart health, the results are often not conclusive.  

Not all studies are based on randomized controlled trials, so it is important to take a close look at claims.  Furthermore, people who take supplements tend to be healthier, which results in an inherited bias in the results. However, certain supplements are promising and may be able to improve health conditions such as hypertension. We will cover supplements like green tea, Coenzyme Q10, and garlic in this paper. These supplements lower bad cholesterol and triglycerides and cut plaque buildup along your blood vessels. Some supplements are used by people for heart health conditions, even though the studies have produced mixed or inconclusive results.
