To support cardiovascular fitness, several supplements have been explored for their potential benefits. It's important to note that these should complement a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet. Based on current studies, here are some supplements that might be beneficial:
-
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and potential to lower blood pressure1.
-
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): This antioxidant supports energy production in cells and may improve cardiovascular health by enhancing heart function1.
-
Magnesium: Adequate magnesium intake is crucial for heart health as it helps maintain normal heart rhythm and supports muscle function1.
-
L-Carnitine: This amino acid derivative may improve exercise performance and has been shown to enhance cardiovascular health by reducing oxidative stress1.
-
Nitric Oxide Precursors (such as L-Arginine or L-Citrulline): These can improve blood flow and may enhance cardiovascular performance1.
-
Vitamins B6, B9 (Folic Acid), and B12: These vitamins help reduce homocysteine levels, which is associated with cardiovascular disease2.
However, you should consult with a healthcare provider before adding any supplements to your regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions or are on medication.
