    Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of mortality globally, with food-based herbal formulations showing potential therapeutic benefits.

  • 2

    The study evaluated a nitrate-enriched extract from Amaranthus leaves, Oxystorm, combined with turmeric extract in a rat model of MI.

  • 3

    Treatment with Oxystorm and turmeric reduced cardiac injury biomarkers and oxidative stress while enhancing antioxidant defenses.

  • 4

    LAD-induced MI significantly increased markers of cardiac injury and inflammation, which were alleviated by the herbal formulation.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that Oxystorm and turmeric may serve as adjuvants in managing ischemia and related cardiac diseases.
