Q. Why HeartTechnology™?
A. Because no other companies are currently offering products with the potency of Vitamin C, Lysine and Proline as recommended by Nobelist Linus Pauling.
Heart Technology™ includes the additional and specific Linus Pauling cardiovascular recommendations, such as the anti-oxidant Vitamins E & A, Folic acid, and vitamin B6. All this in a pleasant tasting, well absorbed drink mix without fillers.
Q. What is an Lp(a) Binding Inhibitor?
A. Lp(a) (short for Lipoprotein(a)), is a form of LDL (bad) cholesterol.
There are now more than 11,000 scientific papers and studies that have identified the "sticky" Lp(a) as a primary risk factor in occlusive cardiovascular disease.
The Pauling/Rath unified theory explains that Lp(a) is a pinch-hitter for Vitamin C when the intake of this vitamin is too low to meet metabolic needs.
According to Linus Pauling, Lp(a) molecules will adhere to arterial lesions because of Lysine and Proline Binding Sites.
"Knowing that lysyl residues are what cause Lp(a) to get stuck to the wall of the artery and form atherosclerotic plaques, any physical chemist would say at once that the thing to do is prevent that by putting the amino acid lysine in the blood to a greater extent than it is normally." - Linus Pauling, Journal of Optimum Nutrition, Aug 1994
Q. How Much HeartTechnology™ should I take?
A. Linus Pauling's specific cardiovascular recommendations are from 3000 mg (1 Jar) to 6000 or more mg ( 2 or more Jars) of vitamin C, and from 3000 (1 Jar) to 6000 mg ( 2 or more Jars) of the amino acid lysine.
Both components of the Pauling-therapy® are essential nutrients. Both vitamin C and lysine are required for life and good health, and there are no known toxic or lethal dosage levels.
Ease of Use
Simply select from 1 jar (preventive) to 2-3 jars (therapeutic) Heart Technology per month.
Convenience
Eliminates pills, bottles and mistakes.
Note: Other such products may contain trace minerals that limit the upper safe dosage.

Completely Nontoxic
All Tower Orthomolecular formulas are completely non-toxic and designed to remain safe at high dosages. There is no known lethal dosage level (LDL) of either vitamin C or lysine
Other nutritional products may contain trace minerals, such as selenium, manganese, copper, and other minerals. The Tower Heart Technology™ formula contains no added trace minerals. According to Pauling, "minerals, unlike the vitamins and amino acids, may be toxic over time at sustained high doses." (HOW TO LIVE LONGER AND FEEL BETTER, 1986)
Note: The Heart Technology formulas do contain magnesium which is a bulk, not a trace mineral.
Tower Heart Formulas are leading Pauling-therapy® products because competing products often lack the potency recommended by Linus Pauling for maximum effect.
