Supplements for a Healthy Heart

Please remember, synthetic forms of these supplements do not offer as much protection as the natural forms.  Vitamins and antioxidants work best when eaten in their natural forms and not as isolated supplements.  When you eat whole food, you take in many antioxidants and phytonutrients that support health and fight heart disease.
