Coronary Health

What is Medifast Plus for Coronary Health?
Medifast Plus for Coronary Health is a specially designed meal replacement formulated to help protect the heart against disease.
What is in the Coronary Health Shakes that helps with heart concerns?

Medifast Plus for Coronary Health Shakes contain coenzyme Q10, amino acids, and Pycnogenol®, which provide a natural defense against heart conditions brought about by improper diets. CoQ10 is found naturally in the body and acts as an antioxidant. It has been shown to help reduce plaque deposits in the arteries and reduce the incidence of plaque rupture, both of which are precursors to heart attacks. Pycnogenol® contains antioxidant compounds that help act as the body's first line of defense against heart disease. Certain amino acids have been shown in studies to help prevent fatty buildup in the heart and liver, which is vital to maintaining heart health.

For maximum results, consume one to three Coronary Health Shakes each day as part of your 5 & 1 Plan. If you're currently on heart medications, or any other medications, consult with your physician prior to using Medifast Plus for Coronary Health.

Who should not use Coronary Health Shakes?
Medifast Plus for Coronary Health is designed as a preventive measure. If you have heart concerns, you should discuss the use of this product with your physician first. If you are on blood thinning medication, be aware that this shake contains 28 mcg of vitamin K, approximately 35 percent of the daily value. Vitamin K is naturally involved with the blood-clotting process and the use of this product should be discussed with your physician.
Can I drink any combination of Health Management Specialty Shakes?

No. Different types of Health Management Shakes should not be used on the same day. For example, do not consume a Medifast Plus for Joint Health Shake on the same days you consume a Medifast Plus for Women's Health Shake or Medifast Plus for Coronary Health Shake. Health Management Shakes can be combined with any of the "regular" Medifast Meals such as Medifast 55 or 70 shakes, soups, stew, chili, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, fruit drinks, iced teas, hot beverages, bars, puddings, pretzel sticks, and cheese puffs. If you currently take medications for any of the above named health concerns, consult with your physician prior to using the product.
