Consuming alcoholic beverages results in the
generation of free radicals. People who drink a lot of alcohol often suffer
because of massive free radical-induced cellular damage. Alcohol-induced free
radical assault can wreak short-term havoc throughout the body, and these same
damaging free radicals are associated with accelerated aging. Take one capsule with each alcoholic beverage, or
as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. A maximum of six capsules per day. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug

What is it?
Protecting against alcohol toxicity
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with acute ethanol-induced
liver damage. A study published in the journal Artery confirmed a specific toxic
metabolite of alcohol (acetaldehyde) and identified an antidote (N-acetyl-cysteine):
“All known pathways of ethanol metabolism result in the production of
acetaldehyde, a highly reactive compound. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), an analogue
of the dietary amino acid cysteine, binds acetaldehyde, thus preventing its
damaging effect on physiological proteins.” NAC is a glutathione (GSH) precursor
and direct antioxidant. Pretreatment with or co-administration of NAC prevents
acute ethanol-induced liver damage via counteracting ethanol-induced oxidative
stress.
Thus, when people are exposed to a known toxic substance such as alcohol, it
makes perfect sense to take a proven antidote — namely, antioxidants.
Life Extension’s Anti-Alcohol Antioxidants with HepatoProtection Complex is an
improved formula containing additional antioxidants designed to suppress free
radicals, neutralize toxic alcohol metabolites such as acetaldehyde, and support
healthy liver function.* In addition to vitamin B1, vitamin C, N-acetyl-cysteine
and benfotiamine, this formula’s HepatoProtection Complex provides therapeutic
doses of these novel antioxidants:
Chlorophyllin, an agent that protects the body from oxidative stress
Leucoselect® grapeseed extract, silymarin (from milk thistle), and resveratrol,
three hepatoprotective agents that aid in reducing compounds from potentially
toxic xenobiotics and protecting cells from free radial-induced oxidative stress
Picroliv® Picrorhiza kurroa root extract, containing antioxidant kutkin that
scavenge alcohol-induced excess free radicals, and stimulate regeneration of
cells (hepatocytes)*
Barley grass powder extract, which enhances the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase,
thus inhibiting the formation of acetaldehyde malondialdehyde
Taking the proper supplements before and after drinking can substantially
protect liver cells.* Suggested Use
If no capsules are taken with alcoholic beverages, take six capsules at bedtime.
