Coronary heart disease, one of the most common and serious forms of cardiovascular disease, causes more deaths in the U.S. than any other disease.  Elevated levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and homocysteines can be predictive of an increased risk for developing heart disease.

Clinically Tested Formula
The clinically tested Garlique® CardioAssist™ formula contains a blend of plant sterols and key vitamins important in promoting the healthy function of your heart.*

Plant Sterols - Scientific evidence establishes that including plant sterols in the diet may reduce the risk of heart disease.  Plant sterols are thought to work by inhibiting the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the small intestine thus helping lower total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.

Niacin - Research has shown that flush-free niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) helps maintain triglyceride and HDL (good) cholesterol levels already within a healthy range.*

Vitamins B6, B12 and Folic Acid work together to help maintain homocystein levels already within a healthy range.*

Garlique® CardioAssist™ Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take one caplet, twice daily with food.  Products containing at least 400 mg per serving of free plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total of at least 800 mg, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. One caplet of Garlique® CardioAssist™ contains 400 mg of free plant sterols.
