Omega-3 supplement to lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels to be combined with Coumadin

Dear Marco, 

his lifestyle and eating habits are absolutely correct. 

The product I recommend is. Cardiol, a supplement formulated to ensure the health of the cardiovascular system by acting on multiple fronts.

This product is useful if a marked cholesterol-lowering action combined with a good ability to normalize values of other blood lipids is desired. The Omega fatty acids Omega-3 present in fact help to:

Each Cardiol capsule contains 3 milligrams of monacolin K, a natural statin with a structure very similar to lovastatin that is a selective inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase).

Recent clinical studies have shown that the combination of fish oil and fermented red yeast is effective in reducing cholesterol levels on par with prescription statins. 

In addition, patients intolerant to statins were able to take Cardiol with satisfactory results and no side effects.
The other components of the formulation, such as bioflavonoids, policosanols, tocotrienols, and vitamin B3, work synergistically with fermented red rice by effectively promoting the reduction of LDL cholesterol.
Folic acid and vitamin B12 enable the reduction of plasma homocysteine levels.
Antioxidants such as resveratrol, CoQ10, sesamin and piperine, on the other hand, help to counter oxidative stress, a major cause of cellular deterioration.

The recommended dose for Cardiol is 1 pearl per day, taken preferably before dinner and for a period of at least 8 weeks.
After this initial treatment, repeat testing will show the effect of the supplementation.

I would, of course, recommend that you inform your treating physician of your choice to combine an existing drug therapy with Cardiol supplementation. 

I hope I have been helpful and remain available for any further information. 

Sincerely,
