Frequently asked questions about Cardiotek-Rx
What is Cardiotek-Rx?
Cardiotek-Rx is a combination of five supplements that are thought to promote heart health: l-arginine, folic acid, vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and black pepper extract (Bioperine^®^). The manufacturer claims these ingredients work together to lower the amount of an amino acid in your body called homocysteine, which can potentially reduce risk factors for heart problems.
Is Cardiotek-Rx still available?
No, Cardiotek-Rx has been discontinued and is no longer available in the United States. It's not clear why it was discontinued by the manufacturer.
What's the difference between Cardiotek and Cardiotek-Rx?
Cardiotek and Cardiotek-Rx are both dietary supplements that the manufacturers claim can support good blood flow. Even though the names are very similar, Cardiotek (available over the counter) isn't the same as Cardiotek-Rx (currently discontinued). Unlike Cardiotek-Rx, Cardiotek is a combination of three supplements only: l-arginine, l-citrulline dl-malate and horse chestnut seed extract. If you have questions on the differences between Cardiotek-Rx and Cardiotek, or whether Cardiotek is an option for you, talk to your provider or pharmacist.
What other supplements can I use instead of Cardiotek-Rx?
There are many supplements for heart health available. But there are several factors to consider in choosing the best supplement for you, such as your age, diet, medical history, the evidence behind how well the supplement works, and any safety concerns. In general, talk with your provider to determine which supplement is best for you before starting any products.
