Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin, aka, the “king of carotenoids,” is a naturally occurring substance found in a specific type of microalgae, as well as seafood. Astaxanthin is the byproduct of a survival mechanism of the Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. When water supply dried up this plant becomes stressed from the intense ultraviolet radiation, sunlight and low nutrition so it produces astaxanthin to protect itself. Astaxanthin serves as a protective shield to protect the algae from lack of nutrition and intense sunlight.Those same protective qualities are passed to us when we supplement with it.
Research shows that astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants in nature. Its ability to fight free radicals has been shown to be 6,000 times higher than vitamin C, 550 times higher than vitamin E and 40 times higher than beta-carotene.
More than half a dozen clinical studies have shown that astaxanthin supplementation may lower markers of both inflammation and oxidative stress. Another review published in the journal Marine Drugs suggested that astaxanthin could protect against atherosclerosis.
In one study participant who took 12 milligrams of astaxanthin per day were able to decrease the presence of C-reactive protein in their body, which is an indicator of inflammation. Taking astaxanthin regularly may reduce the risk of inflammation in your cardiovascular system. Astaxanthin helps to further support healthy oxidative stress biomarkers on the vascular and systemic systems.
In one study, Sprague Dawley rats affected with heart congestion had a reduced infarct size once astaxanthin was administered.
In addition to its cardiovascular and arterial protective qualities Astaxanthin
- Improves Brain Health
- Protects Your Heart
- Keeps Skin Glowing
- Eases Inflammation
- Enhances Your Workout
- Supports Healthy Vision
- Acts like an internal sunscreen. It's a potent UVB absorber and reduces DNA damage.
Researchers suggest that astaxanthin may benefit diabetics by reducing oxidative stress in their pancreatic cells caused by high blood sugar levels, as well as improve glucose and serum insulin levels.
Astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier AND the blood-retinal barrier (beta carotene and lycopene do not), which brings antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to your eyes, brain and central nervous system and reduces your risk for cataracts, macular degeneration, blindness, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Astaxanthin has been shown to have potential in fighting cancer. Experts believe that the antioxidant works by decreasing mutagenesis and carcinogenesis by inhibiting oxidative damage to cells.
Furthermore, it restores cell-to-cell communication to help decrease tumor proliferation. In one example, astaxanthin exhibited growth-inhibitory effects in human colon cancer cells. Back to list.
AstraGin
AstraGin™ is a proprietary ingredient that holds a U.S. patent for “method for enhancing nutrient absorption.” AstraGin™ has been shown to support increased arginine absorption by 67% and L-citrulline absorption by 45% - as well as minerals and vitamins.
AstraGin™ is a natural compound composed of highly fractionated astragalus and Panax Notoginseng. AstraGin™ has been designed and formulated to assist in the overall absorption of the cationic amino acids L-arginine and L-citrulline.
AstraGin™ has been clinically shown to increase the absorption of L-arginine by 62% We use AstraGin™ as part of a group of ingredients to naturally increase the dosage by increasing the bioavailability of amino acids, vitamins and minerals. This translates to multiplying the dosage of the ingredients in our product up to 5 times.
For example, vitamin B12 contains 250 mcg. Due to the higher level of bioavailability due to AstraGin™ absorption enhancement, the dosage translates to a value of up to 1000 mcg.
Coenzyme Q10
Fibers
Dietary fibers can act by changing the nature of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract. In particular prebiotic fibers have had a lot of attention recently because healthcare professionals are recognizing how important they are for balance within the human microbiome. Soluble and insoluble fibers encourage healthy flora in the gastrointestinal tract.

Hawthorn Berries
Hawthorn berry is one of the most potent antioxidants known for healing several parts of the body. Its packed with beneficial flavonoids, saponins, phenolic acids, oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), quercitin, procyonid, malic acid, and citric acid and still other phytonutrients that act as potent antioxidants and stimulate internal healing mechanisms.
Hawthorn berry helps protect against the formation of plaque, which leads to a health problem known as atherosclerosis. One animal study found that extracts of the plant given to rabbits with high cholesterol helped reduce cholesterol levels, In another study involving mice, hawthorn berry reduced LDL levels.
The tincture of hawthorn berries also reduced the production of cholesterol in the liver of rats who were being fed a high-cholesterol diet. Studies to determine if hawthorn will confer the same effects in people are needed, but the results are promising.
Several studies have similar conclusions that hawthorn significantly improved heart function and patients' ability to exercise as well as shortness of breath fatigue.
Several studies have found that hawthorn may promote balanced blood pressure.[6]
Those who received the hawthorn preparation experienced improved blood flow to the heart and were also able to exercise for longer periods of time without suffering from chest pain.
Hawthorn berry tea can have dramatic effects too. Studies demonstrate hawthorn berry tea as an intestinal, reducing bloating and cramping. It boosted gut health, making the environment less tolerant of parasites, such as tapeworms, and other infections. Back to list.
Ionic Trace Minerals
Ionic Trace Minerals help to support normal PH balance within the body which facilitates greater absorption of Nitric Oxide. Ionic minerals are easily and quickly absorbed and taken into the cells that line the intestinal tract.
These minerals may are often employed in the body’s many physiologic activities, including nutrient transport, enzyme reactions, metabolism help, and immune system support.

L-Arginine (AAKG)
Arginine is an amino acid that plays a critical role in the functioning of the body. In addition to helping the body make protein, it is used to make nitric oxide. Arginine also stimulates the production of creatine which helps muscles contract.
The majority of arginine in the body is used to process ammonia into the less toxic urea, as well to synthesize creatine and ornithine. A small portion is then used to trigger nitric oxide production, a gas that dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and helps maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.
Among the most critical roles arginine play regulating blood pressure and circulation via nitric oxide, removing ammonia from the body, and healing of injuries is probably the most vital.
It should be noted that A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research showed that supplementing with arginine and L-Ornithine increased levels of human growth hormone (HGH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) serum levels after strength-trained athletes engaged in heavy-resistance exercise.
- L-Arginine Works to Reduce Fat Mass and Triglycerides in Diabetics.
- L-Arginine Improves Wound Healing
- L-Arginine Supplementation Increases Stamina
- L-Arginine Supplementation Helps Increase Fertility
L’Arginine is produced in the body but occurs at very low levels. For this reason L-Arginine supplementation is often needed as one ages. Cardio Miracle’s formula is formulated with the exact ratios of L’Arginine, L’Citruline and ornithine to support maximum nitric oxide production for optimum health.
Cardio Miracle™ contains AAKG A 100% blend of pharmaceutical grade L-arginine and Alpha-Ketoglutarate.
Arginine AAKG gives you all the endothelial- lining-support and vasodilation properties of arginine plus a number of benefits from alpha- ketoglutarate (AKG), such as increased arginine stability, bioavailability, and absorption.
Furthermore, alpha-ketoglutarate will serve as a transport medium for arginine, for optimal synthesis. Beyond this, AKG supports the bodies endogenous production of glutamine and glutamic acid, both important for muscle growth and for the immune system.
AKG also has been shown to bind to toxic ammonia in muscle cells, in the liver, and in the brain, thereby converting ammonia into glutamic acid improving glutamine levels and assisting in elimination of toxic ammonia from the body. Lastly, as a Krebs Cycle intermediate, AKG has shown to have positive effects on VO2 Max and energy metabolism in muscle cells, and is consequently a potent ergogenic.
Poor absorption can limit L-arginine benefits
Although this powerful Amino Acid has been shown to provide a large number of health benefits, it has one significant issue; our body has a very difficult time digesting and absorbing L-arginine. One reason is that the intestine and liver contain the enzyme arginase that breaks down L- arginine.
Clinical Studies have suggested that in many cases our bodies are able to utilize less than 50% of the L-arginine we consume. The remainder of the L-arginine product is excreted from our body in the form of waste. The low percentage of absorption is what forces hospitals to provide patients with L-arginine intravenously instead of orally. Arginine in the AKG form utilizes a different enzymatic pathway for absorption than regular L-arginine, which allows our body to absorb 90% of the form AKG. Back to list.
L-Citrulline
L-Citrulline is a precursor to arginine in the body. L-citrulline converts to arginine which then converts to Nitric Oxide (NO). It essentially acts like a time-released L-arginine extending the life of L-arginine so it can continue to trigger the production of nitric oxide.
Citrulline bypasses the liver and unlike arginine, is not subject to breakdown by arginase. After supplementation, L-citrulline is converted into arginine in the kidneys. Despite claims that L-citrulline alone is sufficient to raise NO levels this position was contradicted by a 2014 Japanese study that showed the combination of both L-arginine and L-citrulline raises plasma L-arginine levels, and causes a significantly greater increase in plasma nitric oxide.
This means L-citrulline supplementation improves the ammonia recycling process and nitric oxide metabolism. L-citrulline is also used to alleviate erectile dysfunction caused by high blood pressure.
L-arginine and L-ornithine lose absorption value when supplemented in doses of 10g or more, which can result in diarrhea. L-Citrulline does not have this side-effect, but rather increases plasma levels of all three amino acids.
L-citrulline is found in watermelon rinds (not as much in the red stuff). Cardio Miracle’s L-citrulline is sourced from watermelon rinds.
L-Ornithine
Ornithine is a non protein and one of the three amino acids involved in the urea cycle. Along with L-arginine and L-citrulline, Ornithine reduces elevated ammonia levels. The kidneys convert L-Ornithine into arginine, which helps to produce nitric oxide.
L-Ornithine binds with a molecule known carbamoyl phosphate and then converts to L-citrulline where it releases the urea as the end product.
L-Ornithine’s synergistic relationship with the anti-aging amino acid L-arginine increases strength and endurance according to a recent study. And according to a study in Nutrition Research, people who took ornithine were less fatigued from exercise than were people who took a placebo. The study found that ornithine helps the body use energy and combat fatigue more efficiently. Scientist believe ornithine supports proper liver function, prevents fatigue, and boosts performance during prolonged exercise.
L-Ornithine provides athletic support by helping flush out excess ammonia and nitrogen from muscles during exercise.
Some research even suggests that ornithine together with l-arginine may help increase levels of human growth hormone
One clinical trial found that when burn patients took 10-30 grams of ornithine alpha ketoglutarate, OKG, daily they experienced faster healing. In addition, cancer patients taking OKG experienced faster recoveries as well.
Natural Vitamin E (as gamma tocopherol)
Vitamin E, and especially Vitamin E expressed as gamma tocopherol, is a potent antioxidant and provides Nitric Oxide support. Vitamin E helps support the minimization of cell-damaging free radicals on the endothelial lining thus and has been shown to support higher levels of nitric oxide.Back to list.
Orgen B

Other Ingredients — Stevia / natural flavors
Pine Bark
Pycnogenol was shown to improve blood glucose control in clinical studies. It also supported increased blood flow when combined with nitric oxide boosting L-arginine. This cardioprotective effect is greatly enhanced when Pycnogenol and L-arginine AKG is combined and may also help with erectile dysfunction.
The combination of L-arginine and GSE may enhance muscle function and performance; and when combined with other synergistic antioxidants like Pine Bark, Vitamins C and E, and Resveratrol it becomes a powerhouse of benefits for repairing and maintaining cardiovascular health.
Proprietary Blend — Pomegranate fruit extract/beet root crystals
Recently, scientists discovered that pomegranate juice may enhance the bioactivity of nitric oxide synthase in endothelial cells. Furthermore, pomegranate’s antioxidant properties help to protect nitric oxide from oxidative destruction. Pomegranate juice has also been shown to support the positive expression of nitric oxide synthase in both healthy and unhealthy blood vessels.
According to a study published in a June 2010 issue of Science Daily, the nitrates in beetroot juice can be beneficial because they have been shown to increase the amount of nitric oxide in the blood and consequently widen blood vessels, support circulation, and support normal blood pressure.

Resveratrol (Polygonum Cuspidatum)
New research explains resveratrol's effect on inflammation, and also shows how it can be used to treat potentially deadly inflammatory disease, such as appendicitis,, peritonitis, and systemic sepsis.
Resveratrol stops inflammation with a one-two punch that prevents your body from creating two different molecules known to trigger inflammation -- sphingosine kinase and phospholipase D.
What Makes Resveratrol a Unique Antioxidant
Resveratrol is unique among anti-oxidants because it can cross the blood-brain barrier to help protect your brain and nervous system, and studies show that its benefits are wide reaching:
- Protecting your cells from free radical damage
- Inhibiting the spread of cancer, especially prostate cancer
- Lowering your blood pressure
- Keeping your heart healthy and improving elasticity in your blood vessels
- Normalizing your anti-inflammatory response
- Helping to prevent Alzheimer’s disease
The Best Sources of Resveratrol
- grapes red wine
- chocolate
- cocoa
- peanuts
-
Resveratrol offers great anti-inflammatory protection as well support Cardio Miracle’s full spectrum nutritional supplement.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial flowering plant of the ginger family, These compounds within turmeric are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin.
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. The benefits turmeric confers are several all of which are anti-aging.
The most powerful benefits:
- Turmeric blocks a molecule that penetrates into the nuclei of your cells and turns on inflammatory markers thereby reducing inflammation.
- Curcumin is a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals due to its chemical structure.
- Curcumin boosts the activity of your body's own antioxidant enzymes.
- Curcumin boosts brain-derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF, linked to improved brain function and a lower risk of brain disease.
- Several studies suggest that curcumin improves endothelial function. One study found that it’s as effective as exercise while another shows that it works as well as the drug Atorvastatin.
- A key feature of Alzheimer's disease is a buildup of protein tangles called amyloid plaques. Studies show that curcumin can help clear these plaque.
- Studies demonstrate it has the ability to promote the death of cancerous cells and reduce angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels in tumors) and metastasis (spread of cancer).
- Multiple studies show that curcumin can reduce the growth of cancerous cells in the laboratory and inhibit the growth of tumors in test animals.
- There is also some evidence that curcumin can boost the brain’s neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
Vitamin B Complex
Besides helping sustain normal metabolic function the B vitamins play an important role in regulating homocysteine levels in the blood. A New York study showed that homocysteine levels greater than 1200 microM “produced significant indirect suppression of eNOS activity.” The B vitamin group also helps regulate other chemicals that directly affect mitochondrial activity believed to eventually induce NO synthesis.

Vitamin B12 (as Methlycobalamin)
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for the body, and is needed to protect DNA and RNA, support energy, protect nerve and brain cells, stimulate serotonin production, contribute to red blood cell formation, maintain skin, support digestion, and support immune function.
Why Vitamin B12 is so important for cardiovascular function
One of the primary reactions of methylcobalamin in the body is to convert homocysteine to methionine - high homocysteine levels are undesirable and known to be an indicator of heart disease and stroke risk due to the fact free homocysteine in the blood causes atherosclerosis and venous thrombosis, putting strain on the vascular system and the heart. Vitamin B12 plays the part of regulating the levels of this hormone in the blood since it is produced whenever amino acids are broken down.
In addition, the conversion of homocysteine to methionine reduces the potential for damage because the methionine is the precursor to the super-antioxidant glutathione. Glutathione is the body's main antioxidant, protecting our cells from damage as well as the body’s master detoxifier.
There are some things that should be cleared up about vitamin B supplementation. Many companies opt to use the cheapest form which is produced in a lab. It’s called cyanocobalamin and it’s chemically synthesized, whereas the other form known as methylcobalamin is found in animal based foods and occurs naturally.
Why it’s important to know the difference between Methylcobalamin and Cyanocobalamin?
Cyanocobalamin contains a cyanide molecule. Although the amount of cyanide in a normal B12 supplement is small, your body still has to eliminate this compound. Methylcobalamin has a methyl group (just carbon and hydrogen) and it’s the methyl-compound that the human body needs to function properly.
Methylcobalamin is the superior vitamin B12 form.
Methylcobalamin is the most bio-available form of Vitamin B12, and it remains in the body for a longer period of time and at higher levels than cyanocobalamin. The body is supplied with vitamin B12 for longer with methylcobalamin than with cyanocobalamin. In addition, studies show methylcobalamin significantly improves visual accommodation, while cyanocobalamin is ineffective.
The most well studied use of methylcobalamin is focused on sleep, it appears that methylcobalamin is needed for the synthesis of melatonin. The research indicates that methylcobalamin can modulate melatonin secretion, enhance light-sensitivity, and normalize circadian rhythm.
Lastly, certain forms of vitamin B12 are essential for pain management and without it, the body would be unable to cope. The methyl form of vitamin B12 is needed to suppress the cytokine production and studies show it has the same pain reducing effect in patients that suffer from arthritis.

Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin your body needs for several functions. Your body cannot produce vitamin B6, so you must obtain it from foods or supplements.
It’s significant to protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.
Consuming adequate amounts of vitamin B6 is important for optimal health and may even prevent and treat chronic diseases
- Vitamin B6 helps in controlling the level of fat deposited in and around the human heart and thus, protects against a number of cardiac diseases. Apart from this, it also helps to restrict stone formation in the kidneys, hence keeping this critical organ of the human body in good shape.
- Vitamin B6, aids in hormone control and treating emotional disorders, cardiac diseases, kidney disorders, carpal tunnel multiple sclerosis, anemia, arthritis, nausea, infertility and influenza.
- B6 is helpful in treating a vast number of problems related to the heart and skin, as well as depression, fatigue, the nervous system, and much more.
- It can mitigate skin problems, including eczema, psoriasis, melanoma, dandruff, acne, hair loss, and dry skin.
Vitamin B6 rounds out Cardio Miracle providing foundational support to key body systems as well as ward off fatty build up in the arterial and cardiovascular system. Back to list.
Vitamin C
Mothers have been giving Vitamin C to their children ever since Linus Pauling touted its nearly universal benefits. Turns out Mr. Pauling and your mother weren’t wrong; research in this century shows that Vitamin C helps support endothelial Nitric Oxide production. Increased Nitric Oxide levels support healthy endothelial function, and even supports higher l-citrulline levels.

Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin, sometimes called the sunshine vitamin.
It can either be obtained in the diet, through food and dietary supplements, or synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight.
Although classified as a vitamin, it should be considered a prohormone because it is involved in many metabolic processes in the body.
Vitamin D plays a role in calcium and phosphorus balance important in bone health, and nerve and muscle activity. It also
- Studies show that moderate sun exposure will increase the body’s natural vitamin D, providing a boost in energy and a feeling of well-being.
- Studies may suggest that insufficient vitamin D may reduce the bioavailability of Nitric Oxide in veins and arteries.
- The CDC reports that vitamin D deficiency has risen to 25% of the population. Many researchers believe this deficiency may contribute to increases in blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk.
- Study shows women with 60 ng/ml had a 80% reduced risk of breast cancer.
- Epidemiological studies reported that higher blood levels of vitamin D are associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer. Daily intake of 1000-2000 IU/day of this vitamin could reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by 50%.
In addition, Vitamin D is known to
- Fight disease
- Fight depression
- Boost weight loss
- regulate blood pressure
- boost immune function
- boost cell production
- regulate insulin secretion
- suppress parathyroid hormone and reduce bone degradation thus indirectly increasing bone mass.
- Vitamin D stimulates immune cells to break down the buildup of amyloid-β protein in the brain, playing a role in causing the Alzheimer’s disease
Vitamin K2 as MK-7
Vitamin K2 optimizes calcium binding to the bone structure, and is an important nutrient to help reduce the potential for the development of osteoporosis. Vitamin K2 is an important ingredient that your body uses to direct calcium to stay in your bones and out of your heart and other body systems.
Why include Vitamin k2 in the form MK-7 rather than MK-4?
MK-7 is a form of vitamin K22 that has greater bioavailability than MK-4.
Research using the MK-7 form of vitamin K2 began about a decade ago. Likely due to its longer side chain conferring greater liposolubility, MK-7 has a much longer half-life than MK-4. This is a main reason that dosages of MK-7 may be as low as 45 µg daily and that single daily dosing is possible. The benefits of supplementing with K2 may be enhanced even further when combined with a vitamin D supplement, as these two vitamins have synergistic effects. Research indicates that the combination of Vitamin D and K provides synergistic support to the health of the blood vessels and skeletal system. We’ve added it to Cardio Miracle to provide foundational support of the body while delivering arterial cleansing through its nitric oxide boosting properties.
Calcium build-up in the arteries around your heart is a huge risk factor for heart disease. When calcification takes place in the blood vessels’ they can become stiff and fragile which can impede healthy blood flow to and from the heart. Therefore, anything that can reduce this calcium accumulation may help prevent heart disease.
Vitamin K2 is believed to help by preventing calcium from being deposited in your arteries. There is a highly plausible biological mechanism for its effectiveness and strong positive correlations with hear heatlh in observational studies. Long-term controlled trials on vitamin K2 and heart disease are needed.
Other Key Scientific Observations of Vitamin K2 Function.
- In one study spanning 7–10 years, people with the highest intake of vitamin K2 were 52% less likely to develop artery calcification and had a 57% lower risk of dying from heart disease
- Another study in 16,057 women found that participants with the highest intake of vitamin K2 had a much lower risk of heart disease — for every 10 mcg of K2 they consumed per day, heart disease risk was reduced by 9%
- Two clinical studies suggest that vitamin K2 reduces recurrence of liver cancer and increases survival times
- Vitamin K2 has been found to improve survival in patients with liver cancer. Men who consume the highest amounts of K2 appear to have a lower risk of advanced prostate cancer.
- One of the main regulating proteins in dental health is osteocalcin, the same protein that is critical to bone metabolism and is activated by vitamin K2. Osteocalcin triggers a mechanism that stimulates the growth of new dentin, which is the calcified tissue underneath the enamel of your teeth
Watermelon Extract
For those who don’t fancy munching on watermelon rind, watermelon extract is an excellent source of L- citrulline, an active precursor to L-arginine. Because it is also rich in lycopene, lutein, and beta carotene, Watermelon has been shown to support increased levels of antioxidants in blood plasma.
