Cardiologists at the DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center conducted a study, according to which they were able to name 3 main vitamins that have a “colossal” effect on heart health. The list includes omega-3 fatty acids, coenzyme Q10, and red rice enzymes.
According to cardiologists, medicine clearly underestimates the effect of these substances. For example, the use of polyunsaturated omega-3 acids, due to the ability to lower the level of triglycerides in the blood, reduces the number of heart attacks by 28%, coronary heart disease by 17%, and mortality from cardiovascular diseases by 19%. At the same time, coenzyme Q10 has shown “impressive” results in the treatment of congestive heart failure. The risk of complications with the use of 100 mg of the substance 3 times a day decreased by 43%.
Red yeast rice has also proven beneficial for heart health. It turned out that this product significantly reduces the level of the so-called bad cholesterol, which usually leads to heart attack. This is due to monacolin K. With the use of this substance every day, the level of bad cholesterol decreased by about 20% for 6-8 weeks.
