A member asked:
What vitamin supplements or herbs cause a slower heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: There aren't any that predictably slow the heart except foxglove which is the active ingredient in digitalis. Digitalis has a very narrow therapeutic window with toxicity occurring easily. Taking foxglove to slow the heart would be like talking into metal cans strung together instead of using a phone.
