For what it's worth, I've taken the Viatmin Shoppe brand of some of the supplements. Also, I've used GNC brand for some. I realize that it may not be as good as Solgar or some of the rest. My budget simply does not permit the others. My heart has improved from a low of EF 24% to the latest report of...

MSM, Taurine
Since my EF is up to 50% and I'm not having any problems with fatigue or tiredness would it be ok to stop the supplements designed for energy? I believe that they are MSM & Taurine.

Hey Willy, So I take it that it's not the same as Acetyl L-Carnitine. If it is, then I will ask my doctor to prescribe it. Over the counter Acetyl L-Carnitine sells for $35 US. My Insurance will pay for prescription medication at 100% but not for Over the Counter supplements. It would be great if I ...

"L-carnitine An amino acid shown in trials to improve heart failure, this is another of the 3 best supplements for us. I take 333mg Carnitor three times a day after meals. This is a prescription form of L-car...

This morning I received a call from the nurse regarding my latest echo. The doctor further reviewed the results and reported that my EF increased slightly. Last time you may recall that it was 45 - 50%. This time it is apparently a strong 50%. The nurse felt like there was a distinction so, I suppos...

Hi Corrij, I just thought that I'd give you an update. I went to the Cardiologist yesterday and it appears that my condition has not changed in the last six months. My ef is still 45 - 50% and my heart size remains slightly dilated. I reminded the dotor that six months ago he suggested that my progn...

Corrij, I thought that I would throw this out there just in case there is any benefit. I never thought of this as something worthy of posting until today. All of my life I've typically opted for hot baths vs showers. Here's where I think it may be helping. I have a blood pressure machine and I've no...

Hey Corrij, I haven't lost much weight, only about 3 lbs. I'm going to the gym every day and working out on the cross country skiing machine for about an hour. Truthfully, I'm just getting serious again about losing the weight. Also, I play on a Tennis Team and recently we won our division and took ...

Hi Corrij, I'm sorry I haven't responded to your slow carb diet post. I didn't get it until a moment ago. I have not read it yet but hope too soon. As you my have guessed I haven't tried it yet either. Diets are so hard for me. Otherwise, I'm doing fine. I do not go back to the Cardiologist until No...

Corrij, Thank you for responding so quickly. I will answer your questions. "are you overweight?" I'm about 30 pounds overweight. "Do you use a multivitamin?" No I do not use a multivitamin. Also, I did not intend to purchase Taurine with vitamin B6. The front of the container made no mention of anyt...
