LiverX™

LiverX™ is a unique combination of nutrients that incorporates N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)‚ Alpha-Lipoic Acid‚ a new treated form of Silymarin‚ Choline‚ Vitamins E and B12‚ and two ayurvedic herbs‚ Picrorhiza kurroa and Andrographis paniculata. Free radicals‚ being very unstable and reactive‚ can cause cellular damage and eventually serious pathology. Eradicating toxins and reducing free radical damage is one of the most important functions of the liver.

NAC‚ a variant of the amino acid L-Cysteine‚ is a great source of sulfhydryl (SH) groups and is converted in the body into metabolite scapable of stimulating glutathione (GSH) synthesis‚ promoting detoxification and acting directly as free radical scavengers. GSH is a powerful free radical scavenger and an essential component of the liver’s detoxification process. A recent study has indicated that NAC is a precursor to GSH‚ which significantly supports immune health and decreases flu-like episodes‚ severity and length of time confined to bed. Increasing GSH production with NAC supplementation can reduce toxic metabolites.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that is produced naturally in the body. ALA offers protection against free radicals both inside and outside the cell. With its capabilities as a precursor to GSH‚ ALA has shown to be of potential benefit in supporting immune health. Silymarin (Biosorb™ Silymarin)‚ an isolated extract from milk thistle (Silybum marrium) has been shown to be effective in supporting liver health and the metabolism of cholesterol. Silymarin acts as an antioxidant‚ inhibiting free radicals from damaging the liver. In humans‚ Vitamin E is the most important lipid soluble antioxidant. Vitamin E has also been shown to support liver health. Clinical research has validated the efficacy of several plants that support liver health. Basic scientific research has unveiled the mechanisms by which some plants provide their therapeutic effects. Silymarin and Picrorhiza kurroa has been shown to have clinical applications to support various applications of liver health. Andrographis paniculata is another ayurvedic plant used for many years for supporting liver health.
