ThorneVet Heart Health Formula
Supports the heart muscle and promotes physical stamina in small animals.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, one in 10 dogs has less than optimal cardiovascular health.
Heart Health Formula combines the unique antioxidant and cardio-protective qualities of CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) with the amino acid taurine, whose support for healthy cardiac function in cats is well established.
In addition, other ingredients in Heart Health Formula include L-carnitine, which has been shown to improve appetite and exercise tolerance in dogs; vitamin E, which provides essential antioxidant activity in all tissues including the heart; and magnesium and potassium, which are necessary for healthy cardiac contractility and for maintaining a healthy heart rhythm.
Three botanical ingredients – Crataegus laevigata (hawthorn extract) and Terminalia arjuna (arjuna extract), which contribute to healthy heart muscle function, and Eleutherococcus senticosus (eleuthero root extract), an adaptogen that supports physical stamina – are also included in the Heart Health Formula formula.
Research on CoQ10 in animals demonstrates that it promotes the utilization of oxygen in the heart and helps maintain the health of the muscular tissue of the heart (the myocardium).
The amino acid L-carnitine promotes cellular energy production in the mitochondria and supports heart muscle metabolism.
Magnesium supports vascular smooth muscle tone. Unlike humans and dogs, cats are unable to synthesize the amino acid taurine, so it must be supplemented.
How to Use:
1 scoop/soft chew per 25 lbs. of body weight daily.

Bio-Cardio is an exceptional heart health supplemement, especially those with a heart murmur. Since starting my dog on Bio-Cardio, our vet has noted significant improvement in his heart condition. It's easy to administer and truly effective
One of my pups needed extra heart support. We started slowly and built up to first dose, as to not upset the stomach. After a couple months, our vet was super happy with the improvement it made on Oliver’s heart!!! It’s a must have!
We like Throne Vet products. So, we chose bio-cardio and took it, but unfortunately, my dog has a very sensitive stomach, so after taking it, she had a little diarrhea and a stomachache, so I can't take it anymore. It's too bad.
