Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
Supplements studied for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Overview
Cardiovascular disease supplement research spans many agents with varying strength. Cocoa flavanol–rich products may be linked to lower cardiovascular mortality in large prevention trials, though effects on heart attack and stroke are mixed.
Regular olive oil intake and higher dietary potassium appear associated with lower cardiovascular risk in observational and dietary intervention research; potassium supplement effects are less clear. Low vitamin D levels correlate with higher cardiovascular risk, but vitamin D supplementation has not consistently reduced events in trials. Vitamin K findings are inconsistent across K1 and K2 studies. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for outcomes by supplement.
