This study found that supplementation with antioxidants in people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction improved macrovascular function.

Comment: This is a potentially very important study. The participants took 1000 mg of Vitamin C, 600 IU of Vitamin E, and 0.6 g �-lipoic acid daily. After 30 days, vascular function improved. Importantly, just 1 week after supplementation was stopped, the benefits went away.
