Now, I am a bit congused. I read everything about Ascorbabe and Tower Ascorsine-9. I mean, both sounds good, but which one would I benefit from most?
As I said, I had quadruple bypass, plus a stent in my left shoulder area (all done in one day). My condition is herediatery. I am otherwise very healthy and strong. I have never had a heart attack (although very close to one). I am 54 yrs. old, 5'6 and 160 lbs. I am
a swimmer and a runner. Had not have any fast food for the last 10 years. Drink no sodas. No GMO food, etc.
Hard to believe that I should be this big surgery.....? All my coronaries were 95-100% blocked. I had an angiogram done on Aug. 30 this year, and none of this showed up! So, I was attacked by this in 3 months! I know, it is hard to believe.
Anyway, based on this info. I would like to know which one would be the best for me. Thanks, K.
There is something strange. What did you do differently during those 3 months? I wish you had had a second opinion. Were you in any distress? Other than the tests, did you not feel well?
The hereditary factor is Lp(a). Do you know your levels?
If we assume your Lp(a) is high, then all three products should be effective (Cardio-C, HeartTechnology or Ascorsine-9), but I would recommend HeartTechnology (at least) because of the results of a small pilot study we ran years ago. We just don't have the same data for Cardio-C. (In other words, it may be an additional ingredent in HT, e.g. the vitamin A in HT, and not in Cardio-C may make a difference re: Lp(a))
But now that you have a bypass and stent the dynamics change. Your 3-ply arteries were replaced with 1-ply veins. Veins are weaker tissue, and you may not want to diminish plaque growth on the bypasses, at least for awhile. COnfusing, but we do know that in ALL cases, vitamin C to tolerance is called for - arteries or veins.
I don't think extra lysine hurts a bypass, but I am concerned about the proline (concerned w/r to vein bypass patients only). All products, except Towers Anti-Aging have quite a bit of proline. I think HeartTechnology has the least and may be your best bet.
So how to proceed? I think you need to determine your Lp(a) levels, and use these levels to determine the dosages. Get your Lp(a) down, so as not to narrow the artery too much but not to zero, so as not to deplete the vein of all structural integrity.
