Key Supplements
- L-Arginine 3-6g/day (nitric oxide precursor—improves endothelial function, increases walking distance 50-75% in studies)
- L-Citrulline 3-6g/day (converts to arginine—sustained nitric oxide production, may be more effective than arginine)
- Ginkgo Biloba 120-240mg/day (improves peripheral circulation, increases pain-free walking distance 30-40%—evidence mixed but some benefit)
- Propionyl-L-Carnitine 1-2g 2x/day (mitochondrial support, improves walking distance, reduces claudication pain—prescription in some countries)
- Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) 4-6g/day (reduces inflammation, improves endothelial function, antiplatelet)
- Vitamin E 400-800 IU (antioxidant, prevents LDL oxidation)
Key Lab Markers
- Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI—ratio of ankle to arm blood pressure, diagnostic: <0.90 indicates PAD, <0.50 severe, 0.90-1.40 normal, >1.40 suggests calcified vessels—diabetes)
- Doppler Ultrasound (assesses blood flow, locates blockages)
- CT Angiography or MR Angiography (visualizes arteries, locates blockages, plans revascularization)
- Angiography (invasive—catheter-based, gold standard, done if planning intervention)
