Cardio/ION℠ Profile - Blood & Urine

The Cardio/ION Profile

“. . . Order your Cardio/ION and usher yourself . . . into the era of molecular medicine, where symptoms are no longer merely drugged or cut-out and thrown away, but actually cured. ”

You know the ION Profile is one of the best values in nutritional medicine. The Cardio/ION Profile makes it an even better value by adding cutting-edge risk markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD)!

Why should you order the Cardio/ION Profile?

Because 1 in 3 adults has some form of cardiovascular disease (2). The Cardio/ION identifies key nutritionally modifiable risk factors for CVD, including:

• Fatty acid imbalances that lead to chronic inflammation, shown by current research to be one of the most probable causes of CVD
• High fibrinogen that can make the blood more sticky or viscous, increasing the risk of clots
• Homocysteine, increasingly recognized as an important risk factor for not only CVD, but stroke and dementia as well
• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a fat-soluble, vitamin-like substance in every human cell that is involved in key biochemical reactions that produce energy in cells, and it also acts as an antioxidant
• Fasting insulin, an indicator of insulin resistance which often leads to metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and CVD
• Sufficiency of antioxidant protection, shown in studies to help reduce fatty deposits on artery walls and limit cell damage that can lead to both CVD and cancer
