The human heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. Our heart pumps blood into the body via a network of vessels. We must maintain the optimum contractility of the heart and keep the blood vessels clear so that the heart can pump blood into the body. The prevalence of coronary artery disease of the heart and peripheral vessels is very high nowadays. Their incidence can be reduced by eating a more nutritious diet and by taking natural substances that have been shown to improve heart health. Keep reading to learn more about some of the most “heart-healthy” natural supplements:
          1.) Multivitamins

Multivitamins are considered to be dietary supplements with three or more vitamins or minerals. Studies have shown that there is an inverse relation between multivitamins intake and the incidence of coronary heart diseases. Especially vitamin D, which can protect against Myocardial infarction.

          2.) CoQ10

CoQ10 is an excellent anti-oxidant and is known for its anti-inflammatory effects. Co-enzyme Q10 supplementation improves the functional capacity of the heart and also proved to be useful in post-heart failure patients.

          3.) Omega 3 Fatty Acids

It is well proven that omega 3 fatty acids are good lipids and they improve the overall health of the body. Omega 3 fatty acid supplements are proven to be beneficial for the secondary prevention of heart diseases.

          4.) Fiber

It’s a historically proven fact that fiber helps the digestive tract. However, new research has shown that fiber also has a positive influence on the heart.

          5.) Magnesium

Magnesium acts at the cellular level by decreasing the body’s intracellular sodium and calcium, thus increasing heart contractility and potassium intake.

          6.) L-Carnitine

L-carnitine is a metabolite that burns excessive fats in our body, and it may have a role in increasing cardiac mechanical efficiency.
