CX8 - Heart Health Support

How long do I need to take a cardio support supplement?

It should be part of your daily supplement regimen.

Can I take a part dose of a CX8 supplement?

It is not desirable if you wish to get the full benefits of the product as the dose of each of the ingredients which have been shown to be effective in clinical studies are present in their optimal amount at the full dose.

What age is CX8 recommended from?

40+ although there can be instances in which it is desirable to start taking it at an earlier age. The ingredients in it are all beneficial for general overall health and there is no downside for any adult to take it at any age.

Can I take CX8 with prescription medications?

There should be no issues with taking them whilst taking medications. As usual, leave a gap of about three hours between taking supplements and medications. It is strongly advised to consult your doctor/health care practitioner to ensure that there are no possible negative interactions prior to starting this supplement.

Will CX8 benefit high blood pressure?

Our CX8 supplement contains MenaQ7® MK-7 vitamin K2 which has been clinically proven to be the most effective form of vitamin K2 for supporting the body's ability to regulate calcium and maintain cardiovascular health.

Vitamin K2 reduces calcium buildup in your arteries which improves blood circulation, and helps encourage healthy blood pressure.

Will CX8 help with blood circulation?

This is one of the main objectives of CX8.

Will CX8 support healthy inflammation?

This is one of CX8's main objectives.

How long will it take to see benefits from CX8?

Depending upon your personal situation you may start feeling benefits within a couple of weeks, although most benefits are unseen and unfelt and require testing to see the changes.

Will CX8 help with cholesterol?

There is strong clinical data on several of the ingredients present supporting their efficacy in reducing the oxidation of cholesterol which is the main problem with cholesterol. Also, the data shows an increase in the good HDL cholesterol and a decrease in the bad LDL.

Will this supplement interfere with prescription medications?

All supplements should be taken 2-3 hours away from prescription medication. We recommend checking with your doctor before beginning any supplement.

Can I take other Xtendlife supplements alongside CX8?

Yes, you can. All our products are formulated to work synergistically with each other. Please see our FAQ regarding CX8 and Magnesium.

Can I take CX8 and Magnesium together?

We do not recommend that you take CX8 and Marine Magnesium with Potassium at the same time. This is because Magnesium may affect the efficacy of the Vitamin K2 ingredient which is present in CX8. Take CX8 in the morning, if possible, as this increases your energy and then take the Magnesium at bedtime as it helps with sleep.

Why does CX8 cost so much?

The ingredients are extremely expensive. For example, the form of Vit K Mk-7 is several times the cost of what we could source MK-7 from a Chinese manufacturer. The special Blackcurrant extract we are using is more than 10 times the cost of Blackcurrant powder. To try to find the equivalent of CX8 on the market would cost between US$200 - $300 for a 30 day supply. We have a special guarantee regarding the price.

How do I know if I need CX8?

You can never know for sure without doing a very extensive series of tests including a CAC scan (Coronary Artery Calcification). Unless your arteries are squeaky clean it is desirable that you take it.

What happens if I stop taking it?

You would continue to get benefit from it for some time after and then your system would continue to age and deteriorate as it would have if you had not started it in the first place. You would still be better off than if you hadn't taken it at all.

Can I take this if I have a diagnosed heart condition?

Absolutely. Make sure you keep your doctor in the picture in case there are any issues with some medication.

Can I take this if I have stents?

Anything that helps blood flow and helps avoid a build up around the edges of a stent has to be helpful so the answer should be yes, but once again have your doctor confirm this.

I have low blood pressure, should I take CX8?

CX8 is designed to help overall cardiovascular health and circulation so there is no downside in taking it if you have low blood pressure. Once again let your doctor know if they have you on medication.

What causes calcification?

There are multiple causes ranging from lifestyle choices such as smoking, diets high in carbohydrates, diabetes and of course the biggest one…advancing age.

Are these vegan, gluten-free or vegetarian?

Yes. 

Can I take CX8 if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

No, we do not recommend this. The only product we recommend during this time is our Omega 3/DHA fish oil, which has valuable properties to support both the health of the mother and baby. 
 
Fish oil is highly recommended by many medical professionals during pregnancy and breastfeeding to help support infant brain development, as well as systemic organ growth. It can also play a valuable role in supporting the post-natal mood and brain function of the mother. As the baby draws from the mother's precious stores of DHA, they can easily become depleted, therefore supporting levels with a supplement such as Omega 3 / DHA fish oil is very wise.
