Heart and artery health

[Anubis]

Chronic intermittent hypoxia will trump any supplement(s) related to vascular/heart health.

so using a personal hypoxicator? or is there another method?

I should have clarified for those of us without apnea. Are we offered no benefit heart benefit by Intermittent hypoxic training or is it just not as a great a roi as for those who do suffer from apnea?

research has shown that the leading cause of sleep apnea is believing that you don't have sleep apnea

I'm reading up on pycnogenol right now, and holy crap they claim a lot of benefits. Cardiovascular/joint/skin/hair/eyes, etc. Might have to get some! Do you notice benefits from taking it?

I wouldn't say I really notice anything, but I never really notice anything with any supplement. I just have the peace of mind that it's doing a lot of good for my health, and that's worth the price.

coq10
lisinopril
fish oil




seriously, this has been discussed quite a bit. check out Dante's thread

simple yet effective. So many people go waay overboard because it makes them feel good that they are buying and using things that might help them when most of it is just a waste. They people cite some poor studies to justify their claims and purchases. Im not against supplements i just want to see real data to support it.

My small personal list would be either ACEi/ARB, vit D, EPA, ASA 81mg. Keep BP in check both on cycle and off, dont use shit that gonna tank your HDL even temporarily, eat clean and do real cardio.

So blood pressure meds, vit D, fish oil (EPA) , baby aspirin is your list. correct

Regd blood pressure :- How many times a week a subject should check it and what time of the day is best to check it. Your recommendations please. Should BP be checked more often on cycle in comparison to when a subject it off ?

I normally do first thing on waking just after getting out of bed on the weekend. so once a week sometimes I forget and do once in 2 weeks or even once a month.

"Don't use shit thats gonna tank your HDL even temporarily" - so you do not believe in using orals even very sparingly like say for 4- 6 weeks at a time max, 2-3 times a year max?

Many thanks. cheers mate.

Surprised most folks dont have K2 on there list.

Pretty simple for me:

Vitamin D
V K2
Fish oil
Taurine
Ubiquinol

And yes....OP check Dante's informative post on this. It's been discussed on numerous occasions.

Lots of good supplements listed here. Pomegranate extract is the only one I've seen that is supposed to be able to remove arterial plaque. I'm on fish oil, vit K, vit D, Coq10, niacin, UDCA, NAC. Plus some more but I can't think of them all.

In humans or gene altered (knockout) mice?

 

[Kaladryn]

What are some of the best supplements for heart and artery health? And what doses would you recommend?

20min daily of moderately high intensity cardio for minimum health.

60min of daily of moderately high intensity cardio for maximum health.

Everything else is peanuts.
