At BioStem, we focus many of our Dr. Dave’s Best products on the most vital of the vital organs. While our pharmaceutical-grade fish oil can help reduce inflammation throughout the body, there are some customers out there who want to give that extra boost directly to the heart. Because your heart health affects every part of the body (including the brain), we’ve created the best heart supplements around: Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster, BioStem Wellness Met 191, and Dr. Dave’s Best Coenzyme Q10.
Before we start talking about each individual product, it’s important to answer some questions about heart health. How can cardio supplements help improve heart health? What’s the science behind it? Let’s take a look at supplements that support heart health.
Hearts work hard. Of all the organs, it gets the least amount of rest, because it’s working every second of every day, awake or sleeping, running or sitting in front of the TV. It helps the lungs provide oxygenated blood to every cell of the body, and give the brain the oxygen it needs. There’s a good reason why people are interested in keeping it as healthy as possible.
Unfortunately, the heart also takes the brunt of our sedentary lifestyles. The heart is just like any other muscle, in that if you don’t use it enough it atrophies. When you don’t get enough exercise, the heart becomes weaker. Genetics and diet play a huge part in how plaque and cholesterol buildup, but proper exercise is important to keeping those health detriments cleaned out.
We’ll talk more about exercise below, but it’s not the only step you can take to improve your heart health. Consider using a pharmaceutical-grade supplement that can support heart health. Eating right, exercising, and taking the right supplements is a way to fight dangerous maladies that affect this amazing organ.
Yes and no. There are certain foods that should be a part of your diet that can maintain and improve heart health. For instance, whole grains are recommended by dieticians because science shows time and again how beneficial they can be to your health. Fiber is also beneficial to heart health, as are the good fats found inpharmaceutical-grade omega-3 nutraceutical supplements. Please don’t stop eating healthy foods, because they are very important to improving heart health and staying healthy!
But there can be problems getting enough specific heart-healthy foods. Take the anthocyanin-rich powders in Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster, for instance. Black Currants and chokeberries (also known as aronia berries) aren’t exactly easy to find in most grocery stores. And when you do eat them, you’re also getting a lot of calories that you might rather avoid. On top of that, those berries can be overly tart and leave your mouth feeling very dry, which makes those fruits difficult for many people to enjoy in their natural state.
Other ingredients, such as those found in BioStem’s Met191, simply aren’t part of the American diet and can only be found in specialty grocery stores in only the biggest cities. Why make an hours-long trip when you can simply buy our health supplements online?
One word you’re going to hear a lot when it comes to the best heart supplements is anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are found in foods that are deep red, purple, and blue. These flavonoids are produced by the plant as a natural protection against UV light; it’s essentially internal plant sunscreen to protect their cells. Plants that are high in anthocyanins include black currants, blueberries, chokeberries, black rice, black soybeans, and many others. To humans, most anthocyanin-rich foods are mildly astringent.
Anthocyanins have been extensively studied for their ability to help with heart health, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary artery disease. The most common theory is that the anthocyanins help reduce artery stiffness, which is better not only for the arteries but also puts less constant pressure on the heart.
Now that we’ve discussed some of the most commonly-asked questions about our cardio supplements, it’s a good time to discuss who should — and who should not — be taking them. Read on!
Because the heart is so vital, our cardio supplements are for just about anyone looking to improve heart health. (Remember, it’s always a good idea to discuss any diet and exercise changes with your doctor.) Who are the customers coming back time and again purchasing our pharmaceutical-grade supplements that support heart health?
As we get older, it’s harder for our bodies to repair themselves like they used to. They get tired easily and are more prone to injury, making exercise that much more difficult and unappealing. That’s why it’s important to support your heart health with the best heart supplement you can find in order to defend against heart problems that show up as we age. (Keep eating healthy and exercising to the best of your ability, though!)
Heart supplements either provide your body with heart-healthy herbal supplements that might not be a part of normal nutrition or give it nutrients that can flag as we age. By giving the heart what it needs to keep its cells strong, it can remain healthier.
Almost everything about exercise is good. The stress it puts on the heart is the kind that strengthens it, and more exercise tends to lead to better circulation throughout the body. On top of that, it fights weight gain and its associated dangers.
One thing that’s not so good about exercise is that it can cause oxidation in the cells. We recommend taking a cardio supplement that can protect cells against oxidative stress. For instance, we recommend three Cardio Booster tablets 30 minutes before a workout and three tablets 30 minutes after to take advantage of the benefits.
Okay, now that we’ve told you about our most common customers, it’s time to mention who shouldn’t be taking these supplements without the expressed consent of a medical doctor. Typically, there are three categories of people who should not take our cardio supplements...
Bodies under the age of 18 are still actively growing, so it’s best to just let them grow as they need to. Also, hearts at that age tend to be very healthy already; any problems with the heart should be dealt with directly by a physician and not via supplements.
Speaking of those under 18, fetuses and babies who are breastfeeding are growing faster than at any other stage of their lives. Once again, it’s important to not have any supplements that are designed for adults get in the way of their natural growth.
If you have had or currently have cancer, we advise against using this product unless specifically told to do so by a physician. We don’t want there to be any interactions between cancer medications and our products. Also, those about to undergo surgery should consult their doctor about stopping all supplements before the surgery, as some (not necessarily cardio supplements) can have an adverse effect on wound healing.
Now that we’ve discussed the types of people that our cardio supplements are best used by, you might be wondering what makes a particular company’s supplements safe to use. It’s a legitimate question, one which we’ll discuss below.
Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. We certainly wouldn’t sell anything that could hurt you. For instance, Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster is a 100% natural herbal cardio supplement containing anthocyanins from chokeberries and black currants. BioStem Wellness Met191 contains natural ingredients such as Indian Barberry Root and Picrorhiza Root. Coenzyme Q10 provides a vitamin-like coenzyme that helps prevent oxidation in your cells, including heart cells. As long as you stick to the recommended dosage on the bottle, you don’t have to worry about anything.
Of course, the label only tells half the story when it come s to the safety of your heart supplements. It’s also vital that you vet the company you’re purchasing from to ensure that they are providing you with regenerative supplements that are manufactured in a safe way. Here are a few reasons why it’s important to choose a premium supplement brand like BioStem Wellness.
When you consider the ingredients and how they are manufactured, it’s important to choose a pharmaceutical-grade supplement (as opposed to a “food-grade” supplement.). BioStem and Dr. Dave’s Best utilize the most effective, efficient, and, above all, safest ingredients and manufacturing methods to ensure you’re taking the best heart supplements around.
Before we tell you about the specific supplements we offer that could improve your heart health, we’re going to talk a bit about two more reliable ways that people can support that amazing muscle. Let’s take a look at diet and exercise.
Humans often take the path of least resistance. It’s often said that people don’t want to do the hard work in order to fix their health problems, that they’d rather just “take a pill” and have everything fixed. Wouldn’t it be nice to take a pill and suddenly be able to bench press 450 pounds? Wouldn’t it be nice to take a pill and lose all the weight you wanted? While there are supplements that can help with those, they’re not going to do all the work on their own.
We’ve created our cardio supplements to provide you with nutrition for heart health, but no pill on earth is going to keep your heart healthy if your genetics, diet, and lack of exercise are going to get in the way of good cardio health. Maybe someday we’ll be able to get the benefits of exercise without the effort, but that day isn’t today!
What is today? It’s the day to talk about exercise and what you can do to keep your heart as healthy as possible, which, wonderfully, improves the health of the rest of your body as well. You won’t be surprised to know that exercise plays an important part of heart health. There’s really no question in the scientific community regarding the positive effects that exercise has on the entire body, most importantly the heart.
Looking at it from another angle, not exercising can have incredibly detrimental effects on your health. You’re twice as likely to die from heart disease if you engage in little or no physical activity. This is equivalent to smoking! Let’s take a look at what’s going on with exercise to improve heart health.
First of all, it’s important to remember that the heart is made of muscle. Certainly, it’s the most complex muscle in the body, but it still adheres to the same rules that govern your other muscles. For instance, the more you use it, the healthier it becomes. Conversely, a person who is confined to a bed might have their leg muscles atrophy; a heart that isn’t used much can also lose its strength.
There are many physical maladies that exercise and having a strong heart can help you avoid.
Here’s the good part: it doesn’t really matter what type of exercise you engage in, so long as you get your heart rate up. Here’s a fun way to check: if you can sing, you’re probably not exercising enough. If you can’t talk, you’re probably over-exerting yourself and need to pull back a bit.
Your age will probably have some influence on which types of exercise are right for you. If your joints aren’t what they used to be, running might not be right, but swimming laps might be perfect. If you’re young, training for a marathon might be just what you’re looking for.
Most doctors will simply tell you to do what you enjoy. If you hate running and it makes you feel horrible, then don’t run; you simply won’t stick with it. But if you love tennis, you might not even realize how much you’re exercising.
We’re tempted to say “any exercise is better than no exercise.” While that is true, saying that lets people off the hook a little too easily. Suddenly they’re thinking “I walked from my car to my office desk, I’m good.” Unfortunately, that’s just not enough.
Thousands of studies have been done on exercise, all recommending different amount. A typical number to start off with is 30 minutes of intense at least three times a week. Others might say 30 minutes a day. The important thing is that you’re actually getting your heart moving, that you can feel the effects of what you’re doing. If you can’t do 30 minutes a day, consider working up to it.
Here’s a surprising find. Some studies show that less frequent or strenuous exercise can have a better long-term benefit. How can that be? Well, people who exercise a few times a week are more likely to stick with it! Exercising a few days a week is something that most people can keep up with. If their original intention was to “hit the gym every day” and perform strenuous exercise, they might get downtrodden the first time they miss a day, then give up on it completely. Don’t let that happen to you...missing a day or two is fine, as long as you keep up with it overall.
It’s incredibly important to employ exercise as part of your attempts to improve heart health. When you combine exercise with supplements that support heart health, you have a much better chance of maintaining good health.
Of course, exercise and cardio supplements are only part of the equation. It’s also important that you eat right, and that’s what we’re going to talk about next.
We all know that we should eat a healthy diet — our heart health depends on it — but that’s not always easy, is it? While it would be awesome if each of us had a cook to ensure that we’re eating the absolute best foods, that’s not an option for most of us. Reality gets in the way; our busy schedules cause us to eat fast food, which is full of sugar, salt, and fat. Portions at restaurants are huge, and there’s almost always some sort of snack to tempt us in the workplace.
It’s pretty obvious that eating well is something that’s hard to do, but it’s something we must do. Eating poorly can affect the performance of every organ in your body, and that includes your heart. Taking cardio supplements is a good start, but it’s important to make sure your entire diet is supporting heart health.
While there are many foods that are bad for your heart, we’re happy to report that there are other foods that can actually benefit it. Let’s take a look at some of the most common:
Habits, by their very definition, are hard to change. If you do something again and again, it can be difficult to stop. What can you do? Start new habits that replace the old ones. Here are some changes you can make to ensure you eat healthier.
When a food is in your home, it can be almost impossible to say “no” to food that’s bad for you. If you’re upstairs, you still know that there’s that Hostess Cupcake in the pantry. You might restrain yourself a few times, but eventually you’ll end up giving in and eating one...and maybe more than one.
The best way to say no to an unhealthy snack is to leave it at the grocery store. While you might be fighting it over and over again at home, simply skipping the snack aisle ensure that you only have to deny the urges once a week.
Speaking of the grocery, it’s not just full of bad stuff. But vending machines and snacks at work are almost always bad for you. That’s why it’s important to be sure to take heart-healthy snacks with you so that you can eat something from the above list when you’re feeling peckish (like nuts), instead of something with a bunch of empty calories that’s also full of saturated fats.
Of course, in order to do this, you have to...
Life is busy, we get it. Many of us spend the day at work, only to be confronted by a commute twice a day that’s anything but relaxing. Then there are after-school activities and arguing with kids about getting their homework done. At the end of the day, most of us aren’t interested in planning out the week’s meals before heading to the grocery.
It’s worth it, though. Planning meals not only means you’ll be scrambling less during the week but also means that you’ll stick to the healthy stuff more often. Instead of grabbing a bag of frozen, breaded chicken nuggets, you’ll be able to fix something that supports heart health.
Planning meals also means that you’ll be less tempted to go out to eat when someone says “what are we having for dinner?” and you don’t have a clue. And as we all know, eating out almost always means eating too much and eating fatty foods.
You being on this site and seeking information about improving heart health means that you’re interested in increasing your knowledge. And in today’s world, there’s a lot of information to take in when it comes to supporting heart health. It’s important to start reading labels on food so that you can be as aware as possible about what’s in your food.
For instance, you can’t just choose something that’s low-fat and think that it’s healthy. There’s a good chance that, when they reduced the fat, they increased the sugar or salt to trick our brain into craving it. Similarly, low-calorie foods are often filled with more fat than others. Read the labels on the package’s back so that you’re not taken in by the marketing hype on the front.
We discussed exercise above, so why bring it up again? Well, exercising is a great way to tell you’re body and mind “we’re committed to this, we’re going to get healthy...and that means eating healthier as well.” Burning calories via exercise is also a great way of reminding you just how much work it takes to get rid of calories. If you exercise for an hour and burn 400 calories, you’ll think twice before you finish off that 400 calorie donut in four minutes.
Okay, now that we’ve addressed some of the ways that you can support your heart with diet and exercise, let’s take a look at the specific cardio supplements we offer here at Dr. Dave’s Best.
At the heart of our heart-healthy supplements are Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster capsules. If you’re here for just one cardio supplement, this is what you’re looking for. Let’s take a look at why you’ll want to grab a bottle of Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster capsules.
In a word? Science! We keep our eyes on the latest medical journals and papers to discover what they’re saying about the benefits of plant matter as a way of helping the heart. Time after time it’s found that certain supplements and actions can increase levels of the molecule nitric oxide in the bloodstream, which is vitally important to heart health. This chemical helps cells throughout your body “talk” to each other.
In the heart, nitric oxide can relax narrowed blood vessels and improve blood flow and oxygen. And while you might be here looking for the best heart supplements, we’re happy to tell you that this increase in cell communication can also have positive effects throughout the body. It’s been shown to help regulate blood pressure, restore blood flow through unhealthy arteries, improve memory (by helping the cells communicate with each other), and help you get better sleep.
After studying the research and doing our own trials (yes, we take our own nutraceutical supplements), we’ve gathered the best ingredients available that help to increase nitric oxide levels and therefore improve heart health.
While ourImmune Booster is for everyone who wants to give their body a boost, Cardio Booster is for anyone looking to directly improve heart health or increase their athletic performance. Chokeberries (also known as aronia berries) are one of the most commonly-used natural supplements that help athletes recover from exercise, as it helps to reduce inflammation in the muscles.
What’s the best way to use Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster for workouts? We suggest three capsules before a workout and three capsules after. The capsules taken before the workout will help your body make the most of the work you do, and the capsules taken after will help your muscles recover. It also prevents lactic acid buildup so that your muscles can perform longer. Remember, the faster you recover, the sooner you can get back to exercising and therefore building even more muscle!
You should never take a supplement that supports heart health without knowing what’s in it. You want to pick a supplement that’s actually improving heart health instead of simply tricking your body into feeling better for a short amount of time. Here are the two simple and vitally-powerful ingredients in our cardio supplements that many studies show will support your heart health.
Chokeberry PowderChokeberries, also known as aronia berries, are red to purple berries that are chock-full of antioxidants. The primary antioxidant in question is anthocyanin, a polyphenol that’s found in the chokeberry and helps the berry protect itself from UV damage. Science is very interested in how these anthocyanins can move through the body and soak up free radicals.
Why not just eat a handful of chokeberries? While there’s nothing wrong with that, chokeberries get their name because they’re a powerful astringent, meaning that they’re incredibly tart. Most people have trouble eating more than a few and don’t enjoy the dry, puckering sensation when eating them. Also, it can be difficult to find chokeberries at at grocery store; taking them in pill form is exponentially easier. Chokeberries should not be confused with chokecherries, which are often used in jams and jellies.
Black Currant PowderMuch like chokeberries, black currants are full of phytochemicals and anthocyanins. Like many dark fruits and vegetables, the berry is using its dark pigmentation as a means of sunscreen, but in humans it’s useful as a powerful antioxidant.
Much like chokeberries, black currants can be hard to eat thanks to their astringency and piquancy. Without loads of sugar or offset by other ingredients in a recipe, they can be difficult for most people to eat more than a few of. By taking them in powder form, you never have to worry about whether or not you can ingest them.
All signs point to yes. These are nutritional supplements that are made with a proprietary blend of natural berry powders (a specially-balanced 700 milligram combination of chokeberry and black currant). Still, too much of a good thing can overwhelm the body, so we don’t recommend more than six capsules of these heart-healthy supplements a day. If you’d like to further increase the benefits of pharmaceutical-grade supplements, we’d recommend also taking atop-tier fish oil.
While we’re unaware of anyone who has had trouble with these cardio supplements when taking the recommended amount, it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor before making such a change to your diet. We also have to advise that pregnant or breastfeeding women and those under the age of 18 don’t use them.
Nearly all of us could benefit from a powerful supplement that supports health, whether you’re rather sedentary or if you want to boost the ability of your muscles. We created Dr. Dave’s Cardio Booster with a variety of people in mind and want to make it as easy as possible to take advantage of the antioxidant properties of hard-to-eat berries.
But our Cardio Booster isn’t the only super-powerful way to look after your heart. Next we’re going to take at another way to protect the heart and lower cholesterol: Met191.
With the heart being such a vital organ, you want to do everything you can to keep it as healthy as possible. While Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster is an excellent way to keep the heart healthier, it’s not the only product we recommend to improve heart health. Let’s take a look at Met191 and how it help with the effects of metabolic syndrome.
The most common reason that Met191 is taken is to support the metabolic profile and address high levels of LDL cholesterol. The two primary two ingredients, berberine and picrorhiza extracts, are traditional supplements that are being studied for a host of positive effects on the body. Other reasons include the balancing of blood sugar levels and slowing down carbohydrate metabolism. When all of these are addressed, the chances of developing metabolic syndrome are lowered.
Anyone interested in supporting their body in order to reduce the chances of metabolic syndrome should consider this all-natural pharmaceutical-grade regenerative supplement.
Met191 regenerative supplements contain two primary ingredients that are being studied by modern medicine as promising health boosters.
Berberine (Indian Barberry Root)Berberine comes from Indian berberry root and is a bioactive compound that has been used for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Chinese medicine uses it as a treatment for high blood sugar and hypertension. Modern studies show that it can modify glucose and reduce blood sugar levels. This is one of the easiest ways to protect your organs from high levels of sugar flowing through your body. In fact, tests on individuals with type 2 diabetes show that it works much in same way as the drug Metformin...but Met191 is all-natural!
On the metabolic side, berberine interacts with the AMPK enzymes in your body, activating them and tricking your body into entering an exercise-like state. At the same time it was reported to help reduce caloric intake. Add to that the fact that it helps the bacteria in your gut slow carbohydrate metabolism and you’re hitting metabolic syndrome from multiple angles. Each Met191 capsule contains 500 milligrams of berberine HCI.
This root extract has long been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to maintain liver health by helping to reduce liver toxicity. Picrorhiza root extract can also team up with berberine to help tackle cholesterol.
Picrorhiza’s primary role in this pharmaceutical-grade supplement is due to its apocynin content. Apocynin is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, which can reduce blood pressure and inflammation in cells throughout the body. Met191 contains 200 milligrams of picrorhiza root extract.
Good question! While this nutraceutical supplement is best known for its ability to help blood sugar levels, it’s also helping with various other maladies in the body.
Met191 been shown to help with various aspects of metabolic syndrome, which includes cardiovascular disease. It can reduce elevated lipid level and address high blood pressure, which has a direct effect on how well the heart functions.
Our advice is to take between one and four tablets twice daily, 30 minutes before your two largest meals of the day. This timing helps with fat absorption.
Is there anyone who shouldn’t take our berberine and picrorhiza root extracts? As usual, we don’t recommend them for pregnant women or nursing mothers. As usual, you should always follow the advice of your doctor when it comes to dietary changes and supplements.
There’s only one way to find out what Met191 can do for you, and that’s to try some! We’d love to hear what our nutraceutical supplements can do for you so that you can leave us a review beside our many happy customers. What are they saying about it?Find out here!
Like Met191, Ubiquinol Coenzyme Q10 isn’t directly focused on the heart. But the benefits that it gives can have a direct impact on how healthy the heart is. Let’s take a look at Ubiquinol Coenzyme Q10, who needs it, and what it can do for you.
You've probably heard of mitochondria, the powerhouses in your cells. They are found throughout the body, but you’ll find even more in the major organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. They generate energy via a process called the Krebs cycle. During the Krebs cycle, cells produce energy by consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water, and converting ADP into energy-rich ATP.
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like coenzyme produced by our bodies that aids the Kreb cycle and the production of ATP. This increases cell respiration, which leads to most people who take a CoQ10 supplement feeling more energetic. At the same time the process is protecting the cells from oxidative stress.
Ubiquinol is an electron-rich form of CoQ10. There are three different kinds of CoQ10: fully-oxidized, partially-reduced, and fully-reduced. Fully-reduced, aka Ubiquinol, is the most powerful in the human body because it removes the extra step the body must go through when absorbing the two lesser forms, i.e. fully-oxidized and partially-reduced.
In short, Ubiquinol is the form of CoQ10 that makes it easier for your body to help the mitochondria boost your energy levels.
There are three groups of people who benefit most from Coenzyme Q10. The first is vegetarians and vegans; lacking meats and animal products can lead to lower-than-normal Q10 levels.
No matter our diet, we all end up in the second group with Coenzyme Q10 deficiencies: those over 40 years of age. Our bodies aren’t able to make as much, even if we’re eating the proper amount of meats. The good thing is that Dr. Dave’s Best can help replenish these levels closer to the levels of a younger person.
There’s one more group of people who might suffer from abnormally-low Q10 levels: those on statins. Statin medications can reduce these levels by an additional 40-percent...and that’s on top of any reduction from age or alternative diets.
But what if you’re not in any of those three categories? Many doctors in the know still recommend a Q10 supplement in order to keep those levels up and nourish the organs throughout the body.
The active ingredient in this regenerative supplement is ubiquinol, which is the most active form of Coenzyme Q10. Ubiquinol is the fastest and easiest way to aid your cells in the respiration process. There are 100 milligrams of the highest-quality Ubiquinol CoQ10 in each capsule.
The heart is full of mitochondria, and ubiquinol can help the heart cells stay more active and reduce stress from oxidation. Studies show that Coenzyme Q10 is lower in those with heart disease; while this doesn’t definitely prove that a lack of CoQ10 lead to the problems, there is certainly a correlation.
All it takes is one softgel once a day to improve your ubiquinol intake and boost your cellular energy production. These supplements should be taken only by an adult, and of course any changes to your diet should be supervised by a physical. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not take a dietary supplement except at the instruction of their physician.
Ubiquinol is an excellent option for those who are low on energy due to their protein-poor diet, advancing age, or statin intake. Try this wonderful pharmaceutical-grade supplement and see what it can do for you!
Now that we’ve discussed Dr. Dave’s Best Cardio Booster, Met191 supplements, and Ubiquinol Coenzyme Q10 capsules, it’s time to take a look at the last four offerings we keep in our heart health section: our four fish oils. Each of our fish oils -- Dr. Dave’s Best Pharmaceutical-Grade Fish Oil, Ultra 85, Super Omega-3, and Wild Red Fish Oil -- are all heart-healthy nutraceutical supplements.
While we won’t go through each of our fish oils independently, we will let you know what role a high-grade fish oil can play as a dietary supplement and how it can help your heart health.
Study after study shows that fish oil is one of the healthiest supplements you can add to your diet. Fish oil is an unsaturated fat, which is one of the good fats that helps your body. Fish oils contain omega-3 fatty acids, chemicals that our body needs but can’t synthesize. That means we have to get them from our diet, and fish oil is the easiest way to get the two forms of omega-3, EPA and DHA, that are best for us.
Omega-3s help reduce inflammation throughout our body. This is especially important to our heart health, because inflamed cells around the heart can lead to a number of heart problems. Inflammation is one of the primary causes of heart disease due to inflamed blood vessels.
Fish oils are also wonderful little workhorses when it comes to fighting plaque that can build up in arteries and around the heart. When there’s less plaque restricting blood flow, the heart doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood. Too much plaque and the heart becomes taxed, increasing the risk of cardiac arrest and death.
Fish oil isn’t just beneficial for the heart. Because it can help reduce blood clots, fish oil can reduce the amount of triglycerides in the blood. A lower level of triglycerides means less chance of a blood clot forming. This means that fish oil is protecting the brain from strokes. Oh, and can it also help reduce blood pressure and cholesterol? Yes it can!
Fish oil supplements have become quite popular ever since scientific evidence has pointed to their incredible array of benefits. But the fish oil you might find at a big box store simply can’t compare to the pharmaceutical-grade fish oils you’ll find here at Dr. Dave’s Best. Here’s why you should go with the highest-grade fish oils available when searching for health supplements online.
We’ve Eliminated Heavy MetalsUnfortunately, Earth’s oceans are becoming severely polluted. Cold water ocean fish, which turn out to be the best source for Omega-3 fatty acids, swim in some of the most-polluted waters in the ocean. Heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury make their way up the food chain and lodge into the cells of fish. If you eat them, the heavy metals are transferred to you. Not every fish oil goes through a process that removes these metallic toxins.
Dr. Dave’s Best is different. We use a process called molecular distillation, one that removes these contaminants from the fish oil as it’s being processed. That leaves just the highest-grade fish oil available.
Our Fish Oils Are Pharmaceutical GradeIn addition to the fish oil being more pure due to the removal of dangerous heavy metals, there are other advantages to getting your fish oil capsules from Dr. Dave’s Best.
At Dr. Dave’s Best, we’re interested in caring for our own health, as well as that of our customers. At the same time, we’re also interested in taking care of the planet, and that’s why we make sure that the fish oil we use has been ethically sourced. The sources from which we get our fish oil come from locations and US fishermen who are also concerned about the problems of overfishing.
Each of our fish oils is a little different. We recommend taking two capsules of our standard pharmaceutical fish oil with every meal, so six a day usually suffices. One teaspoon of our Omega-7-containing (a non-essential anti-inflammatory) Wild Red Fish Oil per meal is just about right. Our Super Omega-3, which comes with other anti-inflammatory supplements such as curcumin and hawthorn berry, should be limited to one packet per day. Finally, our ultimate Ultra 85, the most nutrient-dense fish oil available, is much like our pharmaceutical-grade oil and can be taken at every meal.
We’ve never heard of anyone ever overdosing on fish oil or the omega-3 EPA and DHA they contain, but it’s also important to note that it’s only possible for your body to absorb so much at one time. While extra fish oil is unlikely to harm you (beyond an upset stomach), you’ll simply be wasting it if you take much more than the recommended amount. As always, it’s a good idea to talk to a physician before you start a regimen of any dietary supplement.
Here’s one of the great things about fish oil -- it’s not going to affect the taking of any other supplements.
