Heart Health Formula Details
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.

sanctuary (verified owner) –
Running a sanctuary for senior and special needs animals often means having to care for aging hearts. Hound breeds, especially, are prone to heart issues like murmurs, enlarged hearts and congestive heart failure. Our holistic veterinarian suggested Thorne Vet Heart Health Formula and after seeing the positive results on exams and lab test results, our general practice veterinarian started to recommend the Heart Health Formula for other dogs!
We are very pleased to be able to use this supplement that’s backed by solid science and the hounds love the taste! The chews are wonderful for the larger hounds and the powder works well for the little ones. Even our fussiest eaters like the power formula sprinkled on their food.
Thank you, Thorne Vet, for improving the lives of so many animals.
