I’ll never forget Mrs. Patterson. She was 68 and she came in determined to take charge of her heart health after seeing what her mother went through.
"Is there anything else I can try before it gets to Mom’s level?"
I'd been studying beetroot and nitric oxide research for years. The science was compelling. So I suggested she try beetroot juice daily. A few months later, her blood pressure had improved. Her energy was back. She felt like herself again.
That's when I knew: beetroot isn't just food—it's true cardiovascular support.
Over the next decade, I saw it repeatedly. Patients consuming beetroot regularly showed better vascular function. More flexible blood vessels. Improved circulation. Better cardiovascular balance. The science became clear: beetroot's naturally-occuring nitrates convert to nitric oxide—critical for healthy blood vessels, strong circulation, and optimal heart function.
But here's what frustrated me: natural beet juice works, but to get enough nitrates for real cardiovascular support, patients would need to drink large amounts daily—and most couldn't tolerate the earthy taste. Supplements should solve this by concentrating those nitrates. But every product I found made the same tradeoff—either it had holistic dosing but tasted terrible, or it tasted fine but was too underdosed to work. I needed both. I couldn't find both.
So I stopped searching and started formulating. I partnered with 1MD Nutrition® to create CardioFitMD®—a formula that finally gives people what they actually need for cardiovascular support.
