Overview

Cardio Balance contains several ingredients known for their cardiovascular benefits, such as B vitamins, magnesium, L-arginine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, and CoQ10, as well as a blend of herbal extracts. While many of these ingredients have scientific backing for heart health, the dosages for several key components, particularly L-Arginine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, NAC, Policosanol, and CoQ10, are significantly below clinically effective levels. The inclusion of a "Proprietary Herbal Blend" also obscures the exact amounts of beneficial herbs like Garlic and Chinese Hawthorn, preventing a full assessment of their efficacy. Only the B vitamins and Vitamin C are adequately dosed to provide their intended effects.

The Good

Provides essential B vitamins (B6, Folate, B12) at effective doses for homocysteine management.

Includes adequate doses of Vitamin C and Vitamin E for antioxidant support.

Incorporates a variety of well-regarded cardiovascular support ingredients.

The Bad

Many key ingredients, such as L-Arginine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, Coenzyme Q10, and Policosanol, are severely underdosed, limiting their potential effectiveness.

Proprietary Herbal Blend lacks transparency, making it impossible to verify effective dosages for ingredients like Garlic, Chinese Hawthorn, Grape Extract, Carambola, Acerola Extract, and Camu-Camu Extract.

Carambola is present in an undisclosed amount and can be contraindicated for individuals with kidney stones or kidney disease.
