	Important Encora™ Information

	Footnote References Prescribing Information Safety Information

Unlike any typical multivitamin, Encora provides of calcium, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, and many essential vitamins to protect your heart as well as your bones. The prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in women increases significantly after menopause. However, regardless of age, women are twice as likely as men to die from CHD upon presentation. In fact, heart disease—not breast cancer—is the leading killer of women in the U.S. (25)

Encora contains a daily dose of 1,300 mg (1.3 g) of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA

The omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA benefit everyone’s heart—including those who are healthy and those who have or are at risk for cardiovascular disease. Clinical studies have proven that omega-3 fatty acid supplements can reduce cardiovascular events. The American Heart Association recommends a daily intake of at least 500 mg of omega-3 fatty acids for all adults and an even higher intake for those who are at risk for cardiovascular disease. Encora provides you with 1,300 mg (1.3 g) of omega-3 fatty acids. (5)

American Heart Association Recommendation

The majority of cardiac events—from unstable angina to myocardial infarction, from stroke to sudden cardiac death—occur in the morning hours. For these reasons, Encora is designed to give you a higher dose of protective folic acid in the morning tablets than in the evening tablets. (4,33)

Encora's nutrients offer additional benefits against cardiovascular disease

The antioxidants vitamin E and vitamin C contained in Encora have been shown to promote overall cardiovascular health by reducing the risk of blood clots. They also help neutralize harmful free radicals that disrupt living cells and whose presence in the body is associated with getting old. Vitamin E also has beneficial effects on your cholesterol (by interfering with the oxidation of LDL cholesterol) and cell function. (36-38)

Encora contains 2.5 mg of folic acid for women's overall health. High doses of folic acid have been clinically shown to improve endothelial cell function, a component in protecting against heart disease. (4)
