TriCard supplies antioxidant, homocysteine-lowering, and blood lipid benefits for the cardiovascular system. Complementary antioxidants help protection against oxidative damage to LDL cholesterol and other free radical insults. Appropriate B-vitamins facilitate catabolism of potentially hazardous homocysteine. Chromium and garlic are added to support favorable serum lipid levels and other cardiovascular benefits. TriCard provides antioxidants and metabolic stabilizers that have a role in protecting the heart and vascular system. Vitamin E supplementation has been associated with coronary artery health (Lancet 1996;347:781-6; Lancet 2000;356:1213-8) as well as long-term protection of the carotid arteries (J Intern Med 2000;248:177-86). Garlic, especially when used as a standardized concentrate, has a favorable effect on blood lipids (Ann Int Med 1993;119:599-605), blood pressure (J Hyperten 1994;12:463-8) and platelet function (Arzneim-Forsch Drug Res 1993;43:119-33), and has been associated with long-term protection of the carotid arteries (Atherosclerosis 1999;144:237-49). Folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 have been shown to reduce and detoxify undesirable levels of the amino acid homocyst(e)ine, an atherogenic methionine derivative (J Nutr 1994;124:1927-33; Am J Cardiol 1995;75:132-6). Chromium adequacy can enhance insulin sensitivity and may reduce the tendency to hyperinsulinemia, which has an unfavorable effect on lipid metabolism and vascular health (J Am Coll Nutr 1998;17:548-55; J Am Coll Nutr 1997;16:404-10). Diets high in the flavonoid quercetin have been associated with cardioprotection in several studies (BMJ 1996;312:478-81; Arch Intern Med 1995;155:381-6).
