When is the best time to take Cardio Peak™? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
This product can be taken any time of the day, with or without food, based on your preference.
Why the change from the previous Arjuna, and how is this supposed to be better?
Life Extension upgraded Cardio Peak™ with Oxyjun® arjuna extract, which has stronger human trials behind it and once-daily dosing. The 400 mg dosage of the Oxyjun® arjuna extract was shown in human studies to support the pumping output of the heart's left ventricle. Not only does this encourage circulation and heart muscle function, but it was also shown to help fight physical fatigue. The stronger data of the new arjuna extract and the once-daily dosing make this a more efficacious and convenient formula.
Why was the hawthorn extract removed?
This product has been reformulated to provide 400 mg of Oxyjun® Arjuna extract, which has stronger research than the previous Arjuna extract. The hawthorn was removed based on this research to allow for more convenient once-daily dosing.
Can the Cardio Peak capsules be opened and mixed in a liquid drink for those who cannot swallow pills? Or does this affect its efficacy?
You can, and it is still possible that you derive benefits from the nutrients. However, the product was not designed for ingestion in this manner, and some may find the taste objectionable because the product is very potent.
How is this product different compared to the previous formulation?
Life Extension have switched the arjuna bark extract from the previous formulation to a standardized Terminalia arjuna bark extract clinically studied for cardiovascular health support. They have also removed hawthorn from this formulation to allow for a more convenient once-daily dosing.

How does this product work?

When can I expect an effect?
In a study of people who took the arjuna bark extract found in Cardio Peak™, improvements in cardiac output were seen after 56 days (8 weeks).
