Liver-G.I. Detox promotes hepatic and
gastrointestinal detoxification by providing nutrients and botanical extracts
that enhance toxin elimination, digestion, intestinal motility, gut integrity
and cell function.* Liver Detoxification: N-acetyl-l-cysteine
and alpha lipoic acid are antioxidants that boost tissue glutathione levels and
also play a role in binding heavy metals. The combined actions of curcumin and
silymarin include enhancing phase II detoxification enzymes, supporting
glutathione synthesis and promoting gastric, colon and liver cell functions.
Sulforaphane, from broccoli sprout concentrate, is considered one of the most
powerful inducers of phase II enzyme activity. Artichoke extract supports
hepatic cell function and blood flow in the liver. The amino acids glycine,
taurine and methionine support several detoxification pathways in the liver to
neutralize toxins.* Gastrointestinal Support: Glutamine helps
to maintain healthy intestinal integrity, ensuring proper nutrient utilization
while limiting the amount of toxins that pass through the intestinal barrier.
Sulforaphane has demonstrated a role in maintaining healthy colon cell function.
Artichoke extract aids the digestive process by promoting healthy bile flow and
intestinal motility, optimizing nutrient utilization while reducing toxin
exposure in the gut. Chlorella, the most studied “green food”, is traditionally
celebrated for its digestive, cleansing and blood purifying properties.
Furthermore, its nutrient rich matrix includes vitamins, minerals, protein,
carotenoids, and flavone compounds.* Alpha lipoic acid, n-acetyl-l-cysteine, taurine
and l-methionine are synthetically derived. Turmeric extract is derived from the
root of Curcuma longa and standardized to contain 97% curcuminoids. Milk thistle
extract is derived from the fruit of Silybum marianum and standardized to
contain 80% silymarin. Broccoli sprout concentrate is a 20:1 extract derived
from Brassica oleracea italica and standardized to contain a minimum of 400 mcg
sulforaphane. Artichoke extract is derived from the leaves of Cynara scolymus l.
and is standardized to contain a minimum of 5% cynarin and 3% caffeoylquinic
acids. l-glutamine is derived from fermentation. Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate)
is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Pure Encapsulations recommends 2 capsules per day,
with meals. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician
before taking this product. Some ingredients may cause gastrointestinal
discomfort in certain individuals, including cramping, flatus, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea or dyspepsia. In rare cases, alpha lipoic acid may cause skin rash in
sensitive individuals. Rare side effects of n-acetyl-l-cysteine and milk thistle
include headache, dry mouth, itching and dizziness. Milk thistle and artichoke
should be avoided by individuals with allergies to members of the aster (Compositea/Asteraceae)
family, daisies, artichoke, kiwi or thistle. Artichoke and curcumin should be
used with caution in patients with bile duct obstruction. Some studies have reported that milk thistle,
curcumin and broccoli sprout extract can affect the way that the liver breaks
down medications metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, altering the effects
of these medications and possibly the dose needed for treatment. Curcumin,
broccoli sprout extract and chlorella may react with blood thinning medications.
