6 Natural Nutrients That Dissolve Arterial Plaque
Every 34 seconds, someone in the U.S. loses their life to heart disease — a startling statistic. Even more surprising is that 75% of those who suffer heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels. So if cholesterol isn’t the full story, what is?
Doctors often overlook another dangerous factor: a harmful protein that quietly damages arteries. Fortunately, there are six natural nutrients shown to support circulation, reduce arterial plaque, and improve heart health — and they don’t rely solely on your diet.
Top Natural Nutrients to Help Clear Arteries
1. Vitamin K2 (MK-7): The Calcium Regulator
Vitamin K2, in its MK-7 form, activates Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which directs calcium away from arteries and toward bones, thereby preventing calcification. It also helps stimulate the production of nitric oxide, which promotes vessel flexibility.
A study of adults aged 40 to 70 found that MK-7 lowered inactive MGP levels and improved arterial elasticity. However, MK-7 is hard to find in most diets. It’s primarily found in natto, a strong-smelling fermented Japanese dish, with only trace amounts in cheese or sauerkraut.
2. Beetroot Powder: Circulation Support
Beetroot is rich in natural nitrates, which the body turns into nitric oxide — helping widen blood vessels and improve blood flow. Studies reveal that beetroot can lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure within just 30 minutes.
But you’d need to consume multiple whole beets or juice them daily to get that benefit — an impractical daily habit for most.
