Heart Plus

The only elements disclosed in the Heart Plus formula are Vitamin C, L-Lysine and L-Proline.

Linus Pauling is a two-time Nobel laureate who is a huge proponent of Vitamin C’s health benefits. He has been a supporter of using Vitamin C to ease and prevent heart disease. He also points out that Vitamin C may play a role in Collagen production, which many people often associate with skin health, but Collagen is also found in every organ of the body. He suggests that this may assist in strengthening connective tissues, as well as skin and blood vessels. This product appears to be based on Pauling’s beliefs, as they are cited quite often on their website. The company also indicates that they believe that Lipoprotein is a stand-in for Vitamin C, which causes the constriction of blood vessels and facilitates the progression of heart disease. This theory places the responsibility for heart disease on low Vitamin C levels. While this is an interesting theory, it has not been substantiated by clinical studies or modern science.

L-Lysine and L-Proline are used in this formula to strengthen the heart muscle, which may have an effect on overall heart health. L-Lysine is an essential Amino Acid considered to be a building block for proteins in the human body, where it may be used to create Collagen. This element, in turn, may be used to create skin tissue, bone cartilage and connective tissue, as well as potentially being vital for tissue repair. It may often be used after surgery or injuries to enhance healing. It is used in this formula as a cofactor with Vitamin C for sustaining Collagen in veins, arteries and capillaries. L-Proline, another Amino Acid, may be found in cartilage and could play an integral role in skin and connective tissue health. It is also considered a cofactor for supporting the cardiovascular system.

Many men may start to experience some kind of ebb in sexuality as they get older. This happens for a variety of reasons, but some of it could be directly traced back to reduced testosterone production. This actually starts for many men in their early thirties. In fact, testosterone production may decrease by 1% per year—a fairly significant amount. For this reason, many men may start seeking out herbal extracts, such as Tribulus Terrestris, which may be able to increase testosterone production. This element has been found to be able to increase the production of the Luteinizing Hormone (LH), a hormone that directly influences virility, sex drive, and potency.

This formula appears to be devoted to helping seniors feel healthier and have increased cardiovascular health. Whether or not this formula will be effective in this realm is up for debate, but what is not up for debate is that this formula may not directly affect male sexuality. Men who are looking for a formula that will help them increase sex drive, erectile function or virility will most likely be disappointed with this product. However, there are some effective formulas available that may be able to directly and safely address these issues. Often the best of these supplements come from reliable manufacturers that offer money-back guarantees with their products.
