Major Ingredients and Functions
Betaine - Betaine has liver detoxification functions and relieves biliary diseases (such as jaundice, hepatitis, food poisoning, diarrhea, and vomiting). Betaines are also known as "blood purifiers" and "blood builders" because they aid in the regeneration and recovery of red blood cells while supplying fresh oxygen to the body.
Selenium - One of the most harmful & potentially lethal of these biological toxins is mercury. Mercury has a strong affinity for fatty tissue and loves to clog up the brain, liver, & kidneys. Science has now revealed that selenium is a powerful mercury & cadmium detoxifying agent. Selenium acts as a mercury magnet with a very strong binding affinity for the toxic substance. This strong attraction allows selenium to mix and neutralize their reaction characteristics. This new Hg – Se substance that is produced is not absorbed by the body and gets flushed out of the system. It is critical that we maintain a surplus of selenium in our body to effectively neutralize mercury & produce the antioxidant enzymes that benefit us so much. We must consume less mercury and more selenium in order for this to happen. Selenium involves in glutathione production and metabolism that is critical for detoxification within the liver and in every body cell.
Milk Thistle - Milk thistle could be called the liver's best friend. Milk thistle not only protects the liver from toxins, but it also plays an important healing role too. Milk thistle helps to repair liver cells and promotes the regeneration of new cells. It also benefits the liver by ensuring that the liver's daily tasks are carried out and that the liver has the ability to rejuvenate itself. This herb has been found to be an effective medicinal treatment in patients suffering from alcoholic cirrhosis, alcohol-induced liver damage, and hepatitis. Actually, milk thistle benefits the liver in getting rid of all kinds of toxicity.
Milk Thistle Benefits
- Antioxidant: Silymarin, an active ingredient in the milk thistle complex, is a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals that cause cellular damage. Milk thistle extract also motivates other compounds that have antioxidative properties such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase.
- Glutathione: A vital substance for the detoxification of the liver. In one study, milk thistle use raised the glutathione levels in the body more than 30%. This meant that the liver was more effective at cleansing the body and eliminating toxic substances.
- Alcohol-Related Diseases: Another benefit of milk thistle is its ability to work as a guardian to the liver and prevent the toxicity caused by alcohol consumption. Consuming alcohol in large amounts causes the liver to work overtime and in the long term causes serious liver diseases such as cirrhosis. Milk thistle use helps to repair and regenerate liver cells and also helps to block fibrosis, which if not treated can lead to cirrhosis.
- Gallstones: Milk thistle stimulates the bile flow and is helpful in both preventing and treating gallstones.
- Promising Cancer-Fighting Properties: Laboratory studies indicate that an active compound of milk thistle, is effective in fighting cancer cells found in prostate, cervical, and breast cancers The use of milk thistle has helped to reduce the cancer cell growth and has also improved the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs.
Burdock - Regular consumption of burdock leads to weight loss. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals required for the human body. It has the second highest amount of the carotene along all other vegetables; 150 times higher than carrots and has the highest amount of protein and calcium content of the class of rhizome.
According to testing, burdock is rich in water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins A, B, C, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron and dietary fiber. It has obvious effects on diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, constipation, and fatty liver disease.
Arginine - Improves the burning of excess fat and can be used in weight-reducing diets. Its role in decreasing cholesterol levels can be ascribed to its function as a biological precursor of nitric oxide (NO). Arginine improves the circulation, strengthens the immune system and detoxifies ammonia as part of the urea cycle. Ammonia is a cellular toxin created from the building of protein.
Astragalus - Astragalus is known to increase the white blood cell count. Astragalus has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains antioxidants, which protect cells against damage. Astragalus is used to protect and support the immune system, preventing colds and upper respiratory infections, lowering blood pressure, treating diabetes, and protecting the liver.
Methionine - This amino acid has a fat-dissolving effect and reduces the depositing of fat in the liver. It is, an a-amino acid, essential in humans, meaning the body cannot synthesize it and thus it must be obtained from the diet.
Buckwheat Sprouted Powder - This powder provides a high source of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is a great source of energy-boosting B vitamins, along with minerals including manganese, magnesium, zinc, iron and folate, all with relatively few calories and practically no fat. It has a unique amino acid composition that gives it special biological activities. These include cholesterol-lowering effects, anti-hypertension effects and improving digestion by reliving constipation. Buckwheat can even protect the digestive organs from cancer, infection and other negative symptoms by preventing oxidative stress within the digestive tract.
Curcumin - Curcumin removes cholesterol from the liver. Thus it saves us from fatty liver disease, where fat accumulation in the liver exceeds more than 5-10% of the weight of the liver. Not only this, it also helps in the prevention of fatty liver disease by controlling assimilation of cholesterol in the liver. Curcumin, one of the active ingredients in turmeric, is believed to communicate with liver cells to produce more LDL receptors. Due to an increase in receptors, more cholesterol is cleared from our body. Studies have shown that LDL receptors increase multifold in number when liver cells are treated with turmeric!
Other Benefits of Curcumin
- Coping with Excess Alcohol: An excess of alcohol damages the liver. Turmeric can assist the liver in coping with an excess of alcohol and its consequences.
- Improves Digestion: Curcumin is also known to increase the secretion of bile, thus improving digestion.
Artichoke Leaf - Artichoke leaf extract contains chlorogenic acid, cynarine, and caffeic acid -- compounds that are thought to be the active components of it. For treating high cholesterol, artichoke leaf extract may work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that controls the rate of cholesterol production in the body. This causes the liver to make less cholesterol.
Choline - This essential micronutrient is needed for many functions of the body. Choline helps in the process of methylation, which is used to create DNA, for nerve signaling, and for detoxification which cleans the liver to treat many liver disorders including cirrhosis, hepatitis, or toxic liver damage. Choline is particularly helpful in keeping the liver healthy. Without this, fats can become trapped inside the liver. There, those fats can block the metabolism, resulting in a build-up of fat that can rise to dangerous levels.
