nutritional support for cardiovascular function*
Neo-Cardio is a synergistic blend of cardiotonic herbs, key nutrients, and the proteolytic enzyme bromelain to promote good cardiac function.* Studies demonstrate the ability of Terminalia arjuna to support cardiac function.* In a small, double-blind study, Terminalia demonstrated support for good cardiac function compared to placebo.*
Inula racemosa has been observed to promote good cardiac function in post-exercise electrocardiograms (ECG).* In another study, the efficacy of Inula was studied in nine subjects. Inula, 90 minutes prior to exertion testing, was shown to support good cardiac function in all nine subjects.*
In a study of 43 subjects, Astragalus significantly improved markers of good cardiac function compared to controls.* In another study, 92 individuals who were supplemented with Astragalus experienced measurable improvement in markers of good cardiac function compared to controls.*
Bromelain modulates prostaglandin synthesis and promotes fibrinolytic activity, both of which are important markers of good cardiac function.* A significant enhancement in markers of cardiac function has been reported after supplementation of potassium and magnesium along with 120-400 mg bromelain daily.*
Inositol hexaniacinate has a favorable impact on blood lipids and can reduce the susceptibility of LDL cholesterol to oxidative damage.* Inositol hexaniacinate has also been found to support circulation to the extremities.*
ALLERGY WARNINGS

INTERACTIONS
Because bromelain has fibrinolytic effects, potentially inhibiting blood clotting, Neo-Cardio should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy or prior to surgery.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS
