Cardio Defence – Supplement Review

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Cardio Defence by Swiss BioEnergetics contains 90 tablets, with a dosage of two tablets per day that provide :

• 200mg of Co Enzyme Q10
• 300mg of Acetyl-L-Carnitine
• 500mg of D-Ribose
• 150mg of MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides)
• 1.1mg of Thiamine (Vitamin B1)
• 1.4mg of Vitamin B6
• 2.5μg of Vitamin B12

It’s a combination supplement marketed at improving your cardiovascular system, with the hopeful effect that it will reduce fatigue and improve heart function.

Swiss BioEnergetics is a well reviewed company producing high quality supplements manufactured in the UK. Most of the amounts of each ingredient are of a satisfactory level as many combined supplements tend to underfill the amounts of various ingredients to save money. However the one ingredient that is in low supply is the D-Ribose at 500mg. A normal dosage of D-Ribose for fatigue might be 5g per day, which is 10x the amount in this supplement. Also if you wanted to rectify a Vitamin B1, B6 or B12 deficiency , the amounts in this supplement are too small. That said, this supplement isn’t marketed to that purpose and so the overall composition is satisfactory for cardio health.

Having tried this supplement for a month, I can say I felt less fatigue than usual. In terms of heart function, I haven’t tested my heart to test the difference, but I would consider that it takes longer than a month of taking the supplement to make a difference in heart function, and is probably closer to 3 months needed.

I think it makes more sense to take the supplement than the annoyance of buying each ingredient individually. Overall I recommend buying this supplement to try for 1 month.
