What experiences have you/anyone had with the CALM HEART supplement capsules? I question it's safety to take with APIXABAN and BISOPROLOL

CALM HEART sold in Europe by Aconitum has several herbs in it. It has Hawthorn extract, Garlic, Valerian extract, Motherwort extract, Magnesium, Folic Acid, B12, B6. I don't know it it is available in Canada and the USA. Frankly I wouldn't use it as some of the items in my opinion are contraindicated with Apixaban or any other blood thinners.

The other one is HEART CALM by Vital Biologics. It contains A Natural, Fast-Acting Formula with Magnesium Taurate, Glycinate, Malate and More, Potassium, Electrolytes and CoQ10.

Anyone try these products?

Thank you in advance for your kind input.

Not trained or an expert but I have studied Herbs and supplements for many years and personally - I wouldn’t chance the first if you are on Biso. Motherwort could enhance the affect of the Biso and lower BP. Some people are wary of Garlic + Apixaban. Garlic as a food I have found to be essential but to be avoided as a concentrate if on anticoagulation.

The Heart Calm sounds OK - may help electrolyte balance but personally I would work out your own dosages of what you want to take and buy, add in one at a time and consume separately eg: I take 120-200mg of CoQ10 daily, can’t see that 30 mg would make much difference. They come in 100mg or 200 mg capsules usually. I wouldn’t ever take Magnesium orally as it is contraindicated for another condition I have and I am always wary of anything containing Potassium supplements.

You are much more likely to know if a particular substance is affective for you or if weakens you if you add in one supplement at a time, under the advice of a suitably trained professional, rather than buy a mixed supplement which usually doesn’t have enough of a substance to do much good but may have the potential to harm.

Almost every doctor I speak is in favour of CoQ10.

Just my opinion, not tried and nor will I ever.

I'm in total agreement with you. I studied herbology for 2 years many years ago.

You are right in what you say. Thank you.

Been taking CoQ10 for 30 years 100mg to as much as 400mg. Currently taking 200mg.

plus of course magnesium glycinate chelated . Have to keep an eye on kidney function for this.
