So what do real users say about Heart Sheild.
Sadly very little, since this is a very new product to the market. It’s a
shame, since our experts really liked Heart Sheild and they experienced
positive results in the short term. However, contrasting our experiences with
customer reviews that have used it for a long time would be extremely helpful.
Nevertheless, we were able to find some Heart
Sheild Reddit reviews in threads about blood circulation and blood pressure.
The first redditor was using it to improve his blood flow and he said he was
very happy with the results. Not only had his blood pressure dropped, but he
was also not having issues with cold hands. The second had similar experience
with improve blood pressure management.
Unfortunately due to the lack of reviews, we can't score it particularly highly for customer reviews even if it's generally positive.
As with any supplement the key is to analyze the ingredients carefully. We were really pleased to see that most of the ingredients are in doses used in clinical trials, so that we know they are effective. It’s a shame that there’s a proprietary blend hiding the exact quantities of Garlic Powder, Ginger Extract, Green Tea - but we can extrapolate that it’s likely that they meet the minimum effective dose.
Hibiscus (500mg): Acting as a natural ACE inhibitor and diuretic, hibiscus has been shown to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure in several studies, making it a potent ingredient for heart health.
Olive Leaf (500mg): Olive leaf contains oleuropein, which studies have found to reduce blood pressure through mechanisms such as improved arterial elasticity and reduced inflammation. In a 2011 study, 500mg of olive leaf was proven enough to lower BP in patients with primary hypertension.
Vitamin C (250mg): This powerful antioxidant helps in reducing oxidative stress in the blood vessels, improving endothelial function crucial for blood flow. Studies have shown that Vitamin C supplementation can lower blood pressure in hypertensive individuals.
Magnesium Glycinate (200mg): Magnesium is essential for vascular health, aiding in the relaxation of blood vessels, which can decrease blood pressure levels. A meta-analysis has confirmed magnesium's effectiveness in lowering blood pressure. However, it’s true that the minimum recommended magnesium is 300mg, so the blend could benefit from having a little more.
Vitamin B6 (50mg): Vitamin B6 plays a role in reducing homocysteine levels, high levels of which are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. While direct evidence on blood pressure is limited, its role in cardiovascular health is well-acknowledged.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) (1mg): Especially for individuals with certain genetic predispositions, B2 can significantly impact blood pressure management. Research has shown riboflavin's potential in lowering blood pressure in those with the MTHFR gene mutation.
Folate (2,500mcg): Folate or folic acid assists in lowering homocysteine levels, thereby reducing the risk of arterial damage and hypertension. Studies have demonstrated folate's efficacy in improving arterial function and lowering blood pressure.
4:1 Beetroot Extract (500mg): High in dietary nitrates, beetroot extract converts to nitric oxide in the body, promoting vasodilation and effectively lowering blood pressure. Clinical trials support its use for hypertension management.
Herbal Blend (650mg):
4:1 Garlic Powder: Garlic has been proven to have a significant impact on reducing blood pressure, attributed to its ability to increase nitric oxide production and promote vasodilation. Usually they use 600mg of normal garlic powder, so in the mix there should be at least 150mg of 4:1 powder, which is very likely.
4:1 Ginger Extract: Ginger is known for its vasodilatory properties, improving blood circulation. While specific studies on blood pressure are emerging, its broad cardiovascular benefits are recognized.
Green Tea: Rich in catechins, green tea can enhance endothelial function and promote vasodilation, contributing to lower blood pressure. Its antioxidant properties also support vascular health. The doses for green tea are not that well documented, so it could be a little low.
Hawthorn (160mg): Hawthorn is traditionally used for heart health, with research supporting its ability to improve coronary artery blood flow, reduce arterial stiffness, and aid in lowering blood pressure. Trials have proven that doses as low as 160mg are effective.
Coenzyme Q10 (30mg): CoQ10 has been shown to lower systolic blood pressure by improving heart health and energy production in cells. It's particularly beneficial for endothelial function.
Overall, this is a very well rounded formula that tackles cardiovascular health from multiple angles including blood flow, vessel health, vasodilation, nitric oxide production, endothelial function, anti-inflammatory effects, reducing oxidative stress, and lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
