Overview

This supplement combines several ingredients aimed at cardiovascular support, bone health, and antioxidant benefits. While Vitamin D3 and K2 are optimally dosed and well-researched, the efficacy of several proprietary blends is challenging to fully assess due to the lack of transparent composition or specific clinical trials on the branded ingredients at the given dosages. Some ingredients like nattokinase offer strong evidence for blood pressure reduction, while others like rutin may be underdosed for optimal effect. Overall, it presents a potential for multi-faceted cardiovascular support, though some benefits rely on extrapolated research and proprietary blend assumptions.

The Good

Contains optimal doses of Vitamin D3 (25mcg) and K2 (180mcg), which are crucial for bone and cardiovascular health.

Includes Tocotrienols (75mg), a well-regarded form of Vitamin E with anti-inflammatory and metabolic benefits, at a clinically relevant dose.

Features Nattokinase (part of Nattozimes), providing a researched ingredient known for blood pressure reduction and potential fibrinolytic activity.

The Bad

Proprietary blend formulation (Cardiomegia, Cyanthox 30, Deltagold Tocotrienol Complex, Nattozimes, Oxi-Fend) limits precise dose assessment for individual custom ingredients.

Oxi-Fend, and Cyanthox 30 have limited specific clinical research, with benefits extrapolated from their base ingredients.

Potential for drug interactions with nattokinase for those on blood thinners and blood pressure medications.
