Arginine compositions for coordinate modification of multiple cardiovascular risk factors

摘要

The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for coordinate reduction of the serum levels of cardiovascular arterial disease risk factors, such as total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL/LDL ratio, triglycerides, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein. The composition comprises an arginine compound and another member selected from high molecular weight aliphatic alcohol or methyl donor cofactor, such as folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 or derivatives thereof. The compositions function coordinately to modify multiple serum cardiovascular risk factors.
