Verifiable Science

The ingredients in this formula are combined to stimulate both liver and gastrointestinal detoxification. N-acetyl-l-cysteine and alpha lipoic acid are antioxidants that promote tissue glutathione levels.^1,2 The combined actions of curcumin and silymarin include enhancing phase II detoxification enzymes, supporting glutathione synthesis and promoting gastric, colon and liver cell functions.^3,4 Sulforaphane from broccoli sprout concentrate is considered one of the most powerful inducers of phase II enzyme activity and has also demonstrated a role in maintaining healthy colon cell function.⁵ The amino acids glycine, taurine and methionine support detoxification pathways in the liver.^6-8 l-Glutamine helps to maintain healthy intestinal barrier integrity.⁹ Artichoke extract aids the digestive process by promoting healthy bile flow and intestinal motility while also supporting hepatic cell function and blood flow in the liver.¹⁰ Chlorella, one of the most extensively studied “green foods,” is traditionally celebrated for its digestive anddetoxifying properties.^11‡
