Heart Health
Nutrient
Function
Calcium
*Controls the
contraction part of
the heart.
*It is part of the 4
main electrolytes.
*The calcium scan
is the best indicator
of prediction of
heart attacks. This
is because calcium
acts as a band-aid
to heal the arteries.
*Doctors prescribe
Calcium Channel
Blockers to rid the
soft tissue calcium.
*Excess soft tissue
calcium is a vitamin
K2 deficiency.
*Calcium is only
absorbed in a more
acid medium
(which is why
people who
digestive problems
can’t absorb it)
*Vitamin D
increases the
absorption by 20x
and raises it in the
blood.
*Vitamin F also
helps absorbs
calcium into the
tissues and skin
Potassium is the
physiological
relaxer and is
involved in nerve
transmission,
muscle relaxation,
electrolyte balance
(protecting against
fluid retention).
*Potassium always
works closely with
magnesium.

sign of low calcium
Where you get it
Calcium is the easiest
mineral to get. We
need 1000mg and can
be gotten from
vegetables and dairy.
The problem is not
getting enough
dietary calcium, its
ensuring the body
doesn’t accumulate
soft-tissue calcium.
Many people
take calcium
carbonate, the
wrong type

Foods high in
chlorophyll (leafy
greens are high in
magnesium because
this mineral is a part
of the chlorophyll

Wheat grass juice is
very high in
magnesium and
potassium.
Other sources: Pico

Food sources:
pumpkin seeds, sun

Most magnesium
supplements are only
absorbed by 20%.
An average person
consumes 1000+mg
too much. Normal
requirements are
2000mg and people
consume 3500mg.

per day to get your

different types of

are even anticlotting. Is part of

Myth: It’s not the cholesterol that is
the problem; it’s the vitamin C
deficiency that causes a collagen
breakdown in the capillaries causing
micro bleeding. The cholesterol comes
in AFTER as a band-aid. But calcium
also comes in making the arteries stiff
– increasing High Blood Pressure
FACTS: your body makes 2000mg of
cholesterol daily (1 dozen eggs)
FACTS: Cholesterol is needed to make
stress hormones
FACTS: Good cholesterol is only the
cholesterol coming out of the liver and
Bad cholesterol is cholesterol going
into the liver. As long as the good
cholesterol is high –then you have
exchange and you’re okay.
FACT: the real deeper reason why
cholesterol is high is the sugar carbs in
the diet.
FACT: if your cholesterol is high, you
only have a .1% chance of getting a
heart attack; not 100% rate – only risk
(no legal definition)
FACT: Normal cholesterol total used to
be 225, by lowering it millions of
people where put on meds.
FACTS: WHO
192 countries:
Women who has cholesterol 177 < had
a 98% higher death rate than women
who had it 212
Men who have cholesterol 177< had a
27% higher death rate than 212

Vitamin B4
B4 supports the
nerve
conduction and
if deficient
causes
fibrillation. It
also prevents
dilation or
enlargement. If
the heart gets
bigger, the
valves leak
causing
regurgitation –
murmurs.
B4 is naturally in whole grains, yet
bleached flour products will deplete
vitamin B4.
You must avoid refined grains to keep
your B4.
Is present in many
foods and is not hard
to get if you’re
consuming
vegetables, eggs, etc.
*Nutritional Yeast has
B4, but make sure
you get the
unfortified nutritional
yeast.
*B4 is also in our
Adrenal Day Formula
Vitamin C
Helps oxygen
carrying
capacity and
prevents
capillary
bleeding.
Vitamin C deficiency creates micro
(small) hemorrhage in the layers of the
arteries. This creates an immune
healing reaction with the body’s
natural band-aid – cholesterol and
calcium.
Vitamin C comes in a complex and
ascorbic acid is only 1 part. Taking
large doses of ascorbic acid will create
a deficiency of vitamin C complex.
Synthetic
Vitamins
Natural is
absorbed
better, in 1
study is showed
that it takes 3x
more synthetic
to achieve the
results than
natural.
Natural vitamins come in whole
complexes and are made from at
least 8 parts, synthetics are only
one and in very high amounts. In
nature vitamins always come in
complexes.
Companies make mostly
synthetic. Why? Cost – 1 kg of
synthetic biotin cost $9; if its
natural version cost $800 per
kg.
