Heart Health Protocol.

Support cardiovascular wellness routines through omega-3 intake, nutrient status, and cardiometabolic marker support.

In short

The heart health protocol in brief.

A quick summary. The full stack, with dose and timing for each supplement, is below.

The Heart Health Protocol is an intermediate stack of 5 supplements aimed at heart health: Fish Oil, CoQ10, Magnesium Taurate, Vitamin K2, and Garlic Extract. 4 are core and the rest are optional add-ons, at roughly $35-55/mo. Each supplement below lists its dose, timing, role, and the evidence behind it.

The stack

What is in the heart health protocol.

Dose, timing, role, and evidence tier for each supplement. Core items carry the protocol; optional ones are situational. Open any name for the full profile.

Fish Oil

EPA and DHA are studied for triglyceride and cardiovascular-risk marker support; medication and bleeding-risk context matter.

CoQ10

CoQ10 is studied for mitochondrial and selected cardiovascular contexts, especially in users taking statins or with clinician-guided indications.

Magnesium Taurate

Magnesium and taurine are studied for cardiovascular physiology, but heart-rhythm claims require clinician context.

Vitamin K2

Supports vitamin K-dependent proteins involved in vascular calcium biology; avoid self-starting with warfarin.

Garlic Extract

Aged garlic extract is studied for blood-pressure and vascular markers and may raise bleeding-risk questions with anticoagulants.

Why it works together

How the pieces combine.

The mechanistic rationale for stacking these together rather than taking them in isolation.

  • Fish Oil and K2 are best framed as cardiometabolic and calcium-handling support, not clinical outcome claims
  • CoQ10 and magnesium taurate support mitochondrial and mineral-status routines without replacing cardiac care
  • Garlic extract and fish oil both require medication-aware bleeding-risk review
