In fact, the natural components of “Direct” are able to affect the functioning of blood vessels and the heart, regulate blood viscosity. A doctor should periodically monitor such activity.
Patients taking the drug note that a positive effect becomes noticeable a month after the start of treatment. Most often, it is prescribed to people over 40 years old who have problems with blood vessels and heart.

Positive reviews also apply to prices. Vitamins for the heart "Direct" is an affordable drug for all categories of citizens. Its cost does not exceed 300 rubles. However, the price may vary by region. Vitamins are very convenient to take, because small capsules are easy to swallow. In addition, it is enough just once a day to remember the need to take funds.

Negative reviews are rare. They are associated with the uncontrolled intake of vitamins, when the patient decides to prescribe treatment for himself and is in no hurry to consult a doctor.
