What It Supports

  • Heart muscle function: Taurine supports normal cardiac muscle function and cellular calcium regulation.
  • Cellular energy production: Carnitine and Coenzyme Q10 contribute to the processes that help heart muscle cells produce and use energy.
  • Antioxidant protection: Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10 help protect cell membranes from oxidative stress.
  • TCVM Qi and Blood support: Huang Qi traditionally tonifies Qi, while Dan Shen and Shan Zha invigorate Blood and address Blood stagnation.

TCVM Principles

  • Primary actions: Tonify Qi, invigorate Blood, and support the relationship between Heart Qi and Blood circulation.
  • Formula approach: A combination of nutritional ingredients and Chinese herbs, rather than a single classical herbal formula.
  • Pattern considerations: Your veterinarian can determine whether its Qi-tonifying and Blood-invigorating actions suit your pet’s individual TCVM pattern.
  • Precautions: Veterinary assessment is especially important for pets taking heart medications or medications affecting clotting, pets with bleeding disorders, and pregnant or nursing animals.

Available Forms

  • 0.5g Capsules, 100 Count: Capsule format for veterinarian-directed administration to dogs and cats.

Suggested Use

  • Dogs and Cats, up to 10 lbs: Give ½ capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Dogs and Cats, 11 to 30 lbs: Give 1 capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Dogs and Cats, 31 to 50 lbs: Give 1 capsule twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Dogs and Cats, over 50 lbs: Your authorizing veterinarian will provide the appropriate dose.
  • Maintenance: Once your veterinarian determines that your pet is ready for maintenance, give as needed or at half the initial dose, or as directed by your veterinarian.

Veterinary authorization is required. Use for the duration recommended by your veterinarian. Do not change prescribed heart medications without veterinary guidance.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

The herbal portion combines Qi tonification with Blood-invigorating actions. The nutritional ingredients provide a separate layer of support for normal cardiac function, energy metabolism, and antioxidant protection.

  • Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus) - Astragalus root: Traditionally tonifies Qi, strengthens Protective Qi, raises Yang, and supports the Spleen Qi foundation.
  • Shan Zha (Crataegus pinnatifida) - Chinese hawthorn fruit: Traditionally resolves food stagnation, invigorates Blood, and disperses Blood stasis.
  • Acetyl L-Carnitine HCl: Supplies a form of carnitine, a nutrient involved in normal cellular energy metabolism.
  • L-Taurine: Supports normal cardiac muscle function, cellular calcium regulation, and membrane stability.
  • Vitamin E: Provides fat-soluble antioxidant support for cell membranes.
  • Coenzyme Q10: Participates in mitochondrial energy production and provides antioxidant support.

Potential Drug Interactions

NutriHerb Heart Support contains Blood-invigorating herbs, including Dan Shen and Shan Zha, together with cardiovascular nutrients. Pets taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision because herb-drug interaction research in dogs and cats is limited.

Extra caution is appropriate with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, cardiac glycosides such as digoxin, blood-pressure medications, diuretics, antiarrhythmics, and multiple prescription medications. Your veterinarian can determine whether this formula is appropriate based on your pet’s condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does NutriHerb Heart Support support?

NutriHerb Heart Support combines nutrients involved in normal heart muscle function, cellular energy production, and antioxidant protection with herbs traditionally used to tonify Qi and invigorate Blood. Your veterinarian can assess how this nutritional and TCVM approach fits your dog’s or cat’s individual needs.

How much should I give my dog or cat?

For dogs and cats up to 10 lbs, give ½ capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 11 to 30 lbs, give 1 capsule once daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For 31 to 50 lbs, give 1 capsule twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For pets over 50 lbs, your authorizing veterinarian will provide the appropriate dose. Use for the duration recommended by your veterinarian.

Can it be used with prescription heart medications?

It may be appropriate as part of a veterinarian-supervised plan, but it should not be added without a medication review. Dan Shen, Shan Zha, and the nutritional ingredients warrant consideration alongside medications affecting heart function, blood pressure, fluid balance, or clotting. Do not use this supplement to replace prescribed heart medications unless recommended by your veterinarian.

How is it different from a taurine-only supplement?

A taurine-only supplement provides one nutrient. NutriHerb Heart Support also contains Acetyl L-Carnitine, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, and three Chinese herbs. These ingredients offer additional nutritional and traditional herbal actions, but a broader formula is not automatically the right choice for every pet. Your veterinarian can help determine whether targeted taurine supplementation or a combination formula better fits your pet’s needs.
