Heart Health8 Supplements Ranked for Reversing Artery Plaque — Only One Holds Up
In this solo episode, Simon Hill reviews eight supplements commonly promoted for reversing arterial plaque and ranks them strictly by human clinical evidence. Pure EPA omega-3 emerges as the clear frontrunner, supported by the EVAPORATE trial showing 9% plaque regression and REDUCE-IT demonstrating a 25% reduction in cardiac events. Aged garlic extract and vitamin K2 show modest but intriguing imaging data. Niacin, despite raising HDL, failed to reduce events in major trials. CoQ10, berberine, nattokinase, and pomegranate extract round out the list with limited or conflicting human evidence. Hill also shares his personal protocol after discovering early plaque in his own coronary artery, and cautions that supplements are adjuncts — never replacements — for proven lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions.
