CHF #33 Heart+ bottle with the Country Health logo

Heart-minded nutrition often combines magnesium, antioxidant vitamins, CoQ10, and traditional botanicals such as hawthorn. This article walks through the featured ingredients in CHF #33 Heart+ 180 Capsules—a nine-capsule daily serving—and what NIH ODS and NCCIH report about magnesium, CoQ10, hawthorn, and related nutrients.

Full ingredient list (per 9-capsule serving): Vitamin A (as palmitate & beta carotene) 3400 mcg RAE (378% DV); Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate & acerola) 600 mg (677% DV); Calcium 160 mg (12% DV); Iron (as amino acid chelate) 6 mg (33% DV); Vitamin D3 3 mcg (15% DV); Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate) 88 mg (587% DV); Thiamine 45 mg (3750% DV); Riboflavin (as R-5-P) 11 mg (846% DV); Niacin (as niacinamide) 11 mg NE (69% DV); Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) 22 mg (1294% DV); Folate (as L-methylfolate) 13.6 mcg DFE (3% DV); Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) 117 mcg (4875% DV); Biotin 34 mcg (113% DV); Pantothenic acid 53 mg (1060% DV); Iodine (from kelp) 18 mcg (12% DV); Magnesium (as amino acid chelate) 396 mg (94% DV); Zinc 4 mg (36% DV); Selenium 25 mcg (45% DV); Copper 3 mg (333% DV); Manganese 4 mg (174% DV); Chromium (as GTF) 540 mcg (1543% DV); Potassium 99 mg (2% DV); Choline (as bitartrate) 99 mg (18% DV); and a proprietary blend 2.4 g of L-arginine HCl, L-carnitine fumarate, taurine, hawthorn berry, L-glutamine, alpha lipoic acid, citrus bioflavonoids, PABA, CoEnzyme Q10, inositol, adrenal/heart/spleen/thymus substances, rutin, chondroitin sulfate, hesperidin, bromelain, papain, cayenne fruit, garlic bulb, and a trace mineral blend. Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica, gelatin (capsule). Suggested use: nine capsules daily, or as directed.

Why does magnesium matter for heart rhythm nutrition?

ODS explains that magnesium is required for normal muscle and nerve function and helps maintain a normal heart rhythm. It is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems, including those involved in energy production. Adult RDAs range from about 310 to 420 mg depending on age and sex; many Americans fall short of the EAR from food alone. CHF #33 provides 396 mg magnesium as an amino acid chelate per nine-capsule serving (94% DV)—a substantial mineral contribution at the center of this formula. FDA has allowed a qualified health claim that diets with adequate magnesium may reduce hypertension risk, while noting the evidence is inconsistent and inconclusive.

What do CoQ10 and hawthorn add?

NCCIH describes Coenzyme Q10 as a substance naturally present in the body, with highest levels in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Evidence that CoQ10 prevents heart disease or reliably helps heart failure is inconclusive; there is some evidence it may reduce certain complications of heart surgery. No serious side effects are commonly reported; mild insomnia or digestive upset can occur, and CoQ10 may interact with warfarin and insulin.

NCCIH notes hawthorn was traditionally used for heart and circulation topics. Evidence for heart failure is conflicting, and there is not enough quality evidence for most other heart claims. Some preparations appear short-term safe; little is known about pregnancy use. CHF #33 lists hawthorn berry inside the 2.4 g proprietary blend with L-arginine, L-carnitine, and taurine—amino compounds often included in cardiovascular nutrition formulas.

How do the antioxidant vitamins and B-complex fit?

Vitamin C (600 mg) and vitamin E (88 mg) supply robust antioxidant support; ODS details vitamin C’s roles in collagen and immune function and vitamin E’s lipid-antioxidant activity. High-dose B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, B6, B12, pantothenic acid) support energy metabolism pathways that work alongside magnesium and CoQ10. Selenium (25 mcg) contributes to glutathione peroxidase antioxidant enzymes. Garlic bulb in the blend aligns with NCCIH findings that garlic may modestly support healthy cholesterol numbers in some people with elevated lipids.

How do these ingredients work together?

CHF #33 is a comprehensive nine-capsule daily pack combining magnesium, antioxidant vitamins, a full B-complex, and a 2.4 g CoQ10–hawthorn–amino-acid blend with glandular companions. The 180-capsule bottle provides twenty servings for adults who prefer Country Health’s multi-nutrient heart formula over single-ingredient CoQ10 alone.

Who might enjoy it: adults seeking magnesium-forward cardiovascular nutrition with CoQ10 and hawthorn, people comfortable with a nine-capsule serving, and anyone whose clinician agrees this multi-nutrient approach fits their plan.

Who should check with a clinician first?

Please check with your clinician first if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding, or may become pregnant (high vitamin A; 3400 mcg RAE exceeds typical prenatal advice for preformed vitamin A).
  • Take warfarin, insulin, blood pressure, or heart medicines (possible CoQ10, hawthorn, or garlic interactions).
  • Have hemochromatosis or another iron-overload condition (formula contains 6 mg iron).
  • Have diagnosed heart failure or arrhythmia—seek medical care rather than self-supplementing.
  • Already use high-dose vitamin E, magnesium, or CoQ10 products.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a substitute for heart medication?

No. Supplements are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease and must not replace prescribed cardiac care.

Why nine capsules?

The label’s serving delivers 396 mg magnesium, 600 mg vitamin C, and a 2.4 g proprietary blend—amounts that require a multi-capsule serving.

How should I take CHF #33?

Take nine capsules daily, or as directed by a qualified health professional. Keep iron-containing products away from children.
