Features:
Contains antioxidant nutrients, such as vitamin C and E,
beta-carotene, zinc, quercetin, CoQ10, selenium, and
proanthocyanidins, which assist with Phase I clearance in the liver.
Contains many active substances that promote the conjugation of
toxins - such as glutathione, methionine, glycine, taurine, NAC, and
broccoli extract - in order that they may be excreted from the body.
Capsule formulation - useful for individuals not wishing to take
powdered products.
About Detoxification
(back to top)
We are exposed to a wide variety of toxins in our everyday life, from
the pesticides sprayed on our food, to the air we breathe. These toxins
can interfere with normal cellular processes that are essential for
health. The liver is our natural defense system against this unwanted
exposure. The liver bears the brunt of responsibility for detoxifying
most of these poisons, including alcohol, environmental toxins, endotoxins,
drugs etc., and removing them from the system. It accomplishes this
by taking a toxic, fat-soluble substance that is not readily excreted,
and changing it into a non-toxic, water-soluble substance that is easily
excreted. It does this in two phases.
During phase I, liver enzymes oxidise and inactivate toxic compounds
to increase their water-solubility so they can be excreted more readily.
This creates a toxic intermediate and generates free radicals. (In other
words, after phase I the toxin is even more toxic.) In Phase II, conjugating
agents (nutrients) conjugate, or “hook on” to the toxic intermediates,
and pull them out of the body. Glutathione is one of the major conjugating
nutrients in the liver, along with glutamine, glycine and taurine, and
many others. Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and conjugating agents
all support the detoxification process in the liver.
Detoxification Procedures
A variety of treatments have been designed to help rid the body of toxins
and environmental pollutants. The recommended approach entails a lifelong
commitment to a healthful diet and regular physical exercise. With a
substantial loss of body fat through supervised fasting or weight loss
programmes, there will be less fat available to accumulate fat-soluble
contaminants like pesticides. In addition, drinking plenty of water
helps the kidneys work efficiently to cleanse the blood and excrete
waste products. At least eight large glasses of water should be drunk
daily.
The diet should emphasize whole, minimally processed foods with fruits
and vegetables and should supply adequate antioxidants and various minerals
(see supplement ‘Detoxification Factors’ above), needed by the body’s
detoxification enzymes to function optimally. Additional antioxidants,
including
Alpha Lipoic
Acid, may be prudent.
Cabbage family vegetables (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage) boost
detoxifying enzyme levels.
“Lipotropic” factors like Choline, a nitrogen-containing compound used
as a raw material for the phospholipid
lecithin and for brain chemicals, and the essential sulfur-containing
amino acid,
methionine,
may help liver metabolism especially with fat-soluble materials.
Milk thistle
(silybum marianum) and other botanical preparations have also been used
to support liver metabolism.
Of course, limiting exposure to toxic agents is critically important.
Gel-forming fibres like psyllium husk, guar gum, pectin and oat bran
can help bind ingested toxins and prevent their absorption. These can
be combined with toxin-binding materials such as bentonite clay.
The pesticide burden can be reduced by eating organic produce and peeling
waxed fruits and vegetables. Exposure to toxic chemicals, including
drugs, should be minimised. Since many organic solvents are easily absorbed
through the skin, direct contact with paint and solvents should be avoided.
