Vitamin E

Vitamin E is the first vitamin that pops into the mind of those that are looking to improve their overall heart health. Vitamin E seems to stop cholesterol in the body
from oxidizing and harming the arteries surrounding the heart.

When cholesterol oxidizes, it's more able to stick to the sides of the arteries and cause buildup and possible blockage that can lead to heart attacks and other infarctions.

Many doctors are recommending an additional supplement of Vitamin E or eating more foods with the vitamin present: nuts are a great source, including almonds.

Vitamin E is also very helpful in the recuperation process post heart attack. It prevents additional heart attacks by encouraging the arteries to be more open mand less susceptible to blockage.

Vitamin C

Doctors are of the opinion that supplements of Vitamin C can help boost the effect of Vitamin E and make it work even better. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps to prevent the damaging ffects of cholesterol, and at the same time it assists Vitamin E in its beneficial effects.

Dual Benefits

When taken together, vitamins E and C are helping to create a healthier heart and artery function.  Those who have a history of hearth disease or who are concerned that they might be at risk should consider taking supplements in addition to adding healthier foods to their diet.

Dosages

So how much should you take? Well, ideal doses may vary from patient to patient, but 400IU international units) of vitamin E seems to work well for most people. Vitamin C is tolerable in higher doses without harmful effects. You can safely take 500miligram of vitamin C twice a day, mornings
and evenings, to help keep your heart fighting fit.

And studies are backing up this additional step in your day. Talk with your doctor in case you are on any medications for there are some that will interact or need to be taken at different times to be more effective.

Of course, the best way to get your daily allowance of these vitamins is through your diet. But in some cases you might have to supplement your diet with tablets to improve your heart health.
