Cardiovascular health is built over years, out of the things we do every week: movement, food, tobacco, sleep and stress. No supplement takes their place, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. Several nutrients have recognised roles. EPA and DHA — the omega-3 fatty acids from fish — contribute to the normal function of the heart when taken in sufficient daily amounts. Coenzyme Q10 occurs naturally in tissues with high energy demand. Potassium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure, and magnesium to normal muscle function, including the heart muscle. If you take blood-pressure medication, cholesterol medication or anticoagulants, talk to your doctor before adding omega-3 or anything else: the interactions are real and well documented. The products in this category are listed below. Where to start: regular blood-pressure and lipid checks are worth more than any product on this page, and in Kosovo they are quick and inexpensive. The BioHack generator takes account of whether you take regular medication and removes ingredients with known interactions.
