Angioplasty Success with Vitamin B ~ HGH Academy

A new study has just shown yet again the benefits of a regimen of vitamin B to angioplasty patients. Vitamin B, which includes folic acid, B6 and B12, has been observed to have homocysteine-lowering effects. High homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

The study, with a base of over 550 angioplasty patients, lasted for about a year. The patients were divided into two groups, with one taking a daily regimen of folic acid, vitamin B12 and B6 and the other, placebo pills, for 6 months following their surgery. When the results were assessed almost a year later, the patients who were on the vitamin combination demonstrated a 7% reduction in further problems. About 20% of the control group needed a repeat angioplasty within the time span of the study.

Those with high homocysteine and high LDL cholesterol, two markers of cardiovascular risk, will find this cocktail an excellent tool to normalized these two cardiovascular risks.
