Detailed Ingredient Descriptions & Benefits:

N-acetyl-cysteineis the precursor to a powerful antioxidant called glutathione (a pre- mium anti-toxin and immune support substance).

Vitamin A, C,and natural Vitamin E work alongside one another as important antioxidants to provide co-factors for Phase i and ii detoxification.

Artichoke leafextracts have strong antioxidant and liver protective properties and help prevent the loss of both glutathione and important antioxidants of the liver.

L-glutamineappears to have a dynamic effect on the gastrointestinal tract and provides critical metabolic support. during times of stress, glutamine levels can drop by as much as 50%. l-glutamine aids, protects and supports digestion during detoxification.

Taurineis important in Phase ii detoxification to neutralize toxic acid and it plays a major role in the formation of bile acids.

Spirulinais a type of blue-green algae that is rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and ca- rotenoids. Some evidence suggests that spirulina may help protect against liver damage and heavy metal accumulation.

Milk thistle's active constituent is silymarin. its liver protective effects are due to several mechanisms including antioxidation, enhanced liver detoxification via enhanced gluc- uronidation (an enzymatic step in Phase ii) and protection of glutathione depletion.

Glycineis an important amino acid and the most commonly utilized in Phase ii detoxifi- cation to neutralize toxic acids.

Curcumin (turmeric)contains curcuminoids, powerful anti-inflammatory phytochemicals. turmeric has liver protectant compounds. it also stimulates the production of bile and increases glutathione.

Green tea extractcontains high levels of substances called catechin polyphenols, which have strong antioxidant properties which help support Phase i and Phase ii detoxification.

Selenium yeastis an essential trace mineral that works as an antioxidant, especially when combined with vitamin E.

Alpha lipoic acidis a potent antioxidant with liver protectant properties. Rosemary extract has been shown to have potent antioxidant properties.

Dandelion extract's therapeutic properties are due in part to its bitter substances ta- raxacum and inulin (a bitter glycoside). the bitters stimulate the digestive glands and liver, activating the flow of bile.

Slippery elmforms a gel-like substance that when mixed with water, coats and soothes and protects the mouth, throat, stomach and intestines. Slippery elm aids in the detoxi- fication of chemicals and metabolic irritants.

Licorice rootis often used to prevent and treat stomach ulcers. Glycyrrhizin, a main component of licorice, reduces inflammation, soothes irritation, protects the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Medical research in Japan and china has shown that
licorice is also an important liver herb with strong antioxidant and liver protecting properties.

Magnesiumis an extremely important macro mineral, essential for Phase i and intermediate Phase detoxification.

Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is later "burned" to produce energy for the cells. B vitamins are important to sup- port various reactions in Phase ii detoxification such as methylation, acetylation and glutathione conjugation.

Zinc and Copperact as antioxidants and pro-oxidants. Zinc acts to support a healthy immune system.

Manganeseis a trace mineral and a component of the antioxidant enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase.

Vitamin B12 & Folic Acidprovide co-factors for Phase ii detoxification and aid in methylation.
