An aneurysm is a place in a blood vessel where the wall is thin and can rupture due to blood pressure. If the aneurysm ruptures, circulation is disrupted; the problem can be severe depending on the location of the aneurysm.

Nutrient/Supplement                                               Helpful Notes

• L-Carnitine                             Helps in the transporting of long chain fatty acids, which aides in the prevention of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular disease. Great when combined with a Omega fatty acid and flax seed supplement.
• Coenzyme Q10                       Increases oxygenation to the heart; shown to prevent recurrences in people who have had a heart attack.

• Calcium                                   Important for proper functioning of the cardiac(heart) muscle and a companion to magnesium (see above).
• Omega Fatty Acids                Helpful for people with aneurysm and Important for reducing blood pressure and increasing blood circulation as well as a preventative aid for general heart health. Fatty acids are found in omega fatty acids from fish and flax and borage seed oils from plants.
