Baby
Aspirin
 81
mg daily is sufficient to help prevent heart attacks
81 mg 500 tablets, Code 707

Numerous studies
document the multiple health benefits of daily low dose baby aspirin.
Abnormal platelet aggregation, which induces clot formation within blood
vessels, can be inhibited by vitamins C and E, fish oil and herbal extracts
such as ginkgo biloba and bilberry. Aspirin, however, not only provides
similar protection from this major cause of heart attack and stroke,
but also inhibits the production of prostaglandin E2 and C-reactive
protein, which have been linked to many chronic inflammatory conditions.
Published studies indicate that only 81 mg daily is sufficient to prevent
heart attacks, and possibly, to prevent some forms of cancer.
