People's comments

Dr. Frederic Vagnini,  M.D., F.A.C.S.
"As a cardiovascular surgeon, for more than 20 years I was actively engaged in treating cardiovascular disease through the most advanced and complex application of surgical technology - coronary by-passes, heart valve repair, and aneurysm surgery. Over the years we have seen a reduction in the number of invasive procedures due to the advances in less invasive procedures, such as with balloon and laser angioplasties. But what is even more exciting are the advances reported by biochemical laboratories demonstrating the connection between diet, nutrients, blood chemicals, and the abnormalities in one's circulatory system which bring on disease. My hope is that in the future, people will be able to maintain cardiovascular health through diet and lifestyle changes and avoid surgery all together! I strongly believe that products like Cardio Essentials are on the forefront of this new frontier - offering maximum nutritional supplementation targeted specifically at cardiovascular health."
