CardioRhythm for PACs/PVCs ???

Curious to know if anyone has tried CardioRhythm (Vitamin Research Products) for PACs/PVCs?


From the ingredient list, it would appear that the herbals would have more effect than the small amount of magnesium….especially the Sophora flavescens said to help prolong the refractory period… which makes sense, as a shortened refractory can lead to Afib. Of course, the nice amount of Taurine helps distribute electrolytes efficiently as well and the inclusion of Panax notoginseng is intriguing.

Product write-ups:
This new formula takes advantage of the latest science in support of normal heart rhythm. Magnesium and Taurine have been combined in the form of Magnesium Taurinate providing a more effective ability to promote proper electrical transmissions in support of normal cardiac rhythms. In addition to Magnesium Taurinate, a trio of specialty herbs provides further synergistic benefits for cardiac health.*
Cardio Complex is a unique blend of nutrients and botanical extracts that helps maintain the normal rhythm of your heart. Magnesium taurinate functions to promote cellular electrical stability, while the trio of herb extracts provides supporting activity through several complementary mechanisms.

This trio includes:

- The alkaloid berberine to help protect the health of
the cardiac muscle tissue.
- Panax notoginseng to maintain normal heart rhythm.
- Sophora flavescens and its active component, oxymatrine, lengthens the heart’s relaxation phase
to help support normal heartbeat.

Interesting but would 180 mg of Magnesium be enough?
Most everything I have seen in this site says 400 to 600G per day.
I like the Idea of putting it all in a capsule though.

Joe - of course the magnesium is not enough as I noted initially, but the inclusion of the herbals with their unique properties was interesting. I was inquiring if anyone had experience using CardioRhythm.

Jackie

I take CardioRhythm along with 400mg magnesium, 10meq potassium and ubiquinol. When I started it, it seemed to quiet some of my PACs and PVCs. I still have occasional afib, so I can't call it a complete success.

Cathy

Thanks Cathy - that's very encouraging. Perhaps you need more magnesium if you aren't at bowel tolerance yet. What about your potassium level and do you take taurine as well?

Jackie

I only take the taurine in 2 CardioRhythm/day (788 mg, as you stated above). I take a prescription 10MeQ potassium daily and recent blood tests have shown my potassium to be in range. I think I am at bowel tolerance for the magnesium. Adding ubiquinol seemed to make a difference too, I currently take 100 mg ubiquinol daily.
