• Help prevent atherosclerosis in blood vessels for healthy blood flow.
• Provide potent antioxidant to protect heart and blood vessels from oxidation damage.
• Promote a healthier and stronger heart by providing energy for cell mitochondria.
• Help prevent homocysteine levels from rising dangerously high.
• Provide Omega-3 essential fatty acids to maintain health & help unblock blood vessels.
• Help block oxidation of cholesterol particles in the blood.

Guardian Health’s Cardiomax is designed to support and rejuvenate the health of cardiovascular system. Cardiomax formula promotes the energy of heart muscle cells and protects blood vessels from blood clotting and atherosclerosis. The three major elements and are:
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid and Vitamin E- Two powerful antioxidants known to improve the health of heart cell mitochondria. They are the core components in Cardiomax.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids- A blood vessel protective fatty acid. This essential fatty acid keeps the bad cholesterol from sticking to blood vessels to cause blood clotting.
• Vitamin B6, B9 and B12- A specific blend of B vitamins to help in moderating homocysteine levels in the blood not to reach a dangerous level.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA):
• Powerful Antioxidant - ALA is called “antioxidant of antioxidants” because it functions both in water and fat environments which allows it to work in every cell and tissue in the body. ALA is very important in protecting and reviving the battery life of mitochondria especially in the heart muscle cells. It can reduce the oxidized forms of other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and glutathione; regenerate them back to active forms after they perform their antioxidation functions.
• Blood Sugar Control - ALA helps lower blood sugar by promoting removal of fat accumulated in muscle cells which causes insulin to be less effective.
• Cholesterol Control - ALA helps lower triglyceride and “bad” LDL cholesterol levels in adults with metabolic diseases.

Vitamin E (Alpha-Tocopherol): Vitamin E protects the cell membranes from oxidative damage induced by oxidative free radicals around the membranes. 9 Vitamin E can insert itself into LDL particles to neutralize oxidative free radicals. It can also inhibit platelet aggregation that leads to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Results showed that the use of vitamin E supplements are associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease.

Omega-3 (Alpha Linolenic Acid) Fatty Acids: The first evidence that fish oil fatty acids might have a beneficial effect on coronary heart disease came from the discovery that Greenland Eskimos, who have a diet high in Omega-3 fatty acids, have lower mortality from coronary heart disease.
The two main essential fatty acids are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 can protect the blood vessels from inflammation and thrombosis which cause clogging and lead to life-threatening implications. However, Omega-6 seems to promote inflammation and thrombosis. A healthy diet should have equal amount of omega-3 and omega-6. Unfortunately, our current diets are usually loaded with omega-6 but are very deficient in omega-3. This can result in a variety of diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Increased omega-3 is desirable in reducing the risk of many chronic diseases.
• Reduce Plaque- Omega-3s can help reduce the plaque that potentially can restrict and harden our arteries.
• Reduce Inflammation- Omega-3s can reduce chronic inflammation that can lead to heart disease and various other diseases. Cardiomax provides omega-3 fatty acids without the strong fish smell and is pollutant and toxic free.

Vitamin B6, B9 (Folate), B12: When proteins break down, amino acids like homocysteine may be found in the bloodstream. Foods containing methionine are transformed into homocysteine which can be converted to cysteine with vitamin B6 facilitating this process. It can also be recycled back into methionine with folate and vitamin B12- related enzymes. When homocysteine accumulates to a dangerous level, hyperhomocysteinemia will occur. Hyperhomocysteinemia have been associated with heart attack, stroke, blood clot formation, and perhaps the development of Alzheimer's disease. The reduction of excessive homocysteine requires vitamin B6, folate, and vitamin B12.

Additional Health Benefits from Cardiomax:
• Support Liver Health- ALA, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids have demonstrated positive effects on patients with non-alcohol fatty liver disease as they can significantly decrease liver fat. The B vitamins can support the liver’s Phase-1 enzymes for detoxification and fueling of liver’s heavy workload.
• Moderate Diabetic Syndrome- ALA can fight against oxidative injury associated with type 2 DM. Vitamin E can improve insulin action in healthy subjects and non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Omega-3 fatty acids can improve blood sugar control for type 2 DM. Folic acid can decrease and normalize serum homocysteine levels.
