High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is the single most critical risk factor for cardiovascular disease, as it directly damages arteries and significantly increases the likelihood of atherosclerosis, blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes.
According to the CDC, 47.7% of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, with prevalence increasing with age:
- 18-39 years old: 23.4%
- 40-59 years old: 52.5%
- 60+ years old: 71.6%
TIKVA HEART contains 16 clinically studied nutrients shown to help lower high blood pressure:
Nitrosigine®, Pomegranate, CoQ10, Magnesium, Vitamin E, L-Theanine, Flaxseed Powder, L-Taurine, Grape Seed Extract, L-Citrulline, Inositol, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, and Zinc.

High Cholesterol
High cholesterol is a serious health risk, affecting nearly 94 million adults in the U.S., yet most remain unaware of its dangers due to the lack of symptoms.
Cholesterol is made up of two types: LDL (“bad” cholesterol), which contributes to plaque buildup in arteries, and HDL (“good” cholesterol), which helps remove excess cholesterol.
Among LDL particles, small dense LDL (sd-LDL) is the most harmful, as it is more prone to oxidation and plays a critical role in the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
Lowering high cholesterol, especially sd-LDL, is essential for reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke—the leading causes of death worldwide.
While statins are effective, they can cause side effects like muscle pain and fatigue, making natural approaches such as dietary changes and targeted supplementation an attractive and complementary option for managing cholesterol and improving heart health.
TIKVA HEART contains 21 clinically studied nutrients shown to help lower high cholesterol:
Citrus Bergamot, Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Chromium, Nitrosigine (L-Arginine), Pomegranate, Flax Seed, L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Inositol, Vitamin B12, Chromium, Zinc, Magnesium, Selenium, Copper, Betaine, L-Taurine, L-Citrulline, Grape Seed Extract

Nitric oxide (Poor Circulation)
Nitric oxide is essential for healthy circulation and blood flow, helping your arteries expand, contract, and maintain their structure. But starting in your 30s, nitric oxide production drops by 20% every decade and by age 65, most people have lost 85% of their ability to produce it.
Many believe beetroot is the solution, but its high oxalate content can lead to kidney stones in 1 out of 10 people. That’s why TIKVA HEART uses 10 proven nutrients to safely boost and stabilize nitric oxide levels—without the risk.
TIKVA HEART contains 10 clinically studied nutrients to help with Nitric Oxide (poor circulation):
Nitrosigine, L-Citrulline, Pomegranate, L-Carnitine, Vitamin C, L-Taurine, L-Theanine, Inositol, Coenzyme Q-10, and Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Atherosclerosis (Hardening of Arteries)
Atherosclerosis: The Silent Threat Behind Heart Attacks and Strokes
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of most heart attacks and strokes, caused by plaque buildup that narrows or blocks arteries. It often begins in childhood and worsens over time, typically going undetected until a medical emergency.
The condition progresses in stages: damage to the artery wall (from high LDL cholesterol, toxins, or high blood pressure), formation of fatty streaks, plaque growth, and eventually plaque rupture. A ruptured plaque can trigger a blood clot, leading to a heart attack or stroke.
Symptoms often don’t appear until arteries are more than 70% blocked, including chest pain, leg cramps, or mini-strokes (TIAs).
TIKVA HEART contains 19 clinically studied nutrients to reduce atherosclerosis, including: Pomegranate, Grape Seed Extract, CoQ10, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin D, L-Citrulline, Nitrosigine®, and Citrus Bergamot.

Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is The Leading Cause of Heart Attacks.
CAD is the most common type of heart disease in the U.S., affecting 18.2 million adults and causing 647,000 deaths annually. Every 40 seconds, someone in America has a heart attack.
It occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. This narrowing or blockage reduces blood flow, causing chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and, eventually, heart attacks.
CAD is caused by factors like high LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes, with plaque buildup often starting in childhood.
Preventing CAD means managing risk factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, and lifestyle habits.
TIKVA HEART contains 13 clinically studied nutrients to reduce atherosclerosis, including:
Citrust bergamot, Pomegranate, Flax Seed Powder, Nitrosigine, L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Inositol, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Chromium, Zinc, and Boron

High glucose (blood sugar) levels and insulin
High blood sugar, common in diabetes and metabolic syndrome, significantly raises the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
It promotes atherosclerosis by narrowing arteries, triggers inflammation and oxidative stress that damage blood vessels, and increases harmful small dense LDL cholesterol.
Controlling blood sugar through lifestyle changes, and targeted nutrition can greatly improve heart health and reduce cardiovascular risks.
TIKVA HEART contains 11 clinically studied nutrients to help keep blood sugar in range.
Chromium, Vitamin D, L-Carnitine, Coenzyme Q10, Magnesium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Zinc, Manganese, L-Taurine, Nitrosigine (L-Arginine), Citrus Bergamot

Blood Clots (Deep vein thrombosis)
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), also known as blood clots, is a disorder that includes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis.
A pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a clot breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lungs.
TIKVA HEART contains 10 clinically studied nutrients to help reduce blood clots
Vitamin E, Pomegranate, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), Grape Seed Extract, L-Arginine (Nitrosigine), Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium, L-Taurine, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

Triglycerides
Triglycerides are fats that come from the food we eat. We carry these fats in our blood. High levels of triglycerides known as hypertriglyceridemia, can be dangerous to your health.
If your triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol are high, but your HDL (good) is low, you have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
TIKVA HEART contains 10 clinically studied nutrients to help reduce blood clots
Citrus Bergamot, Flax Seed Powder, L-Theanine, Niacin and Vitamin D.
We also recommend a high quality fish oil to help with Triglycerides. We would have put fish oil in the Tikva but it would go rancid and make the Tikva taste terrible.

Stress
In addition to the emotional discomfort we feel when faced with a stressful situation, our bodies react to stress by releasing hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) into the blood. These hormones prepare the body for the “fight or flight” response by making the heart beat faster and constricting blood vessels to get more blood to the core of the body instead of the extremities. Constriction of blood vessels and increase in heart rate does raise blood pressure.
TIKVA HEART contains 7 clinically studied nutrients to help reduce blood clots
L-Theanine, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Inositol, and Magnesium

Atrial fibrillation and arrhythmia
An arrhythmia is an irregular rhythm in your heart’s beat. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a form of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, in which the atria (the two small upper chambers of the heart) tremble instead of efficiently beating. People with AF have abnormalities in their heart’s electrical impulses that can cause blood to be pumped improperly, resulting in pooling or clotting. If a blood clot travels to the brain, AF can lead to stroke. AF is also associated with increased risk of congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease).
TIKVA HEART contains 4 clinically studied nutrients to help reduce arrhythmias
Magnesium, CoQ10, L-Taurine, and L-Carnitine

High Homocysteine & Oxidative Stress levels (Damage To Blood vessels)
Elevated homocysteine and oxidative stress often work together to amplify their damaging effects on the body.
High homocysteine contributes to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), worsening oxidative stress and damaging blood vessels.
Both homocysteine and oxidative stress weaken blood vessel walls, impair endothelial function, and promote inflammation, making the arteries more susceptible to plaque buildup and narrowing.
This combination accelerates atherosclerosis, increases the risk of blood clots, and fosters neurodegenerative processes such as plaque formation in the brain.
TIKVA HEART contains 13 clinically studied nutrients to help reduce damage to blood vessels
Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Zinc, Betaine, Vitamin B2, Magnesium, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10, Grape Seed Extract, and Pomegranate
