TLC 3.0 is formulated based on the research of Linus Pauling and Matthias Rath into the role of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] in cardiovascular health, and the evolutionary relationship between Lp(a) and vitamin C. Lysine and proline beneficially alter the binding properties of Lp(a).
Many epidemiological studies have linked a higher intake, or blood levels, of vitamin C with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack. But the reasons remain unclear. Some studies have found that vitamin C supplementation improves many known CVD risk factors, lowering total cholesterol, boosting HDL ("good") cholesterol, reducing the oxidation of LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and lowering blood pressure. But other studies have failed to substantiate these findings, leaving the connection between vitamin C and heart health a bit of a mystery.
