Food, household products, pesticides, and polluted air very often contain chemicals and metals that can be toxic to the body. The liver has a Two-Phase Enzyme system that breaks down chemicals. An additional protein molecule found in the liver and kidneys known as Metallothionein binds to metals to assist removal from the body as well as functioning as a protective antioxidant.
Detox Cofactors
Many amino acids, as well as spice, herbal, and food phytochemicals, are involved in activating The Two-Phase Cytochrome P450 liver enzymes, and 6 primary conjugation molecules such as Glutathione finish the detox process. Metallothionein is formed with Zinc, Xanthohumol, Andrographis, and Turmeric.
Support Liver Health
The liver can be compromised by chemicals, alcohol, drugs, inflammation, or high levels of fat in the liver known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Damage to the liver cells is usually reflected in higher liver enzymes.
- Glutathione is highly supportive of liver and organ health.
- Sulforaphane can be taken as a supplement or is found in broccoli sprouts. It supports liver enzymes, metabolism, and toxin elimination.
- Silymarin (from Milk Thistle) exhibits strong anti-inflammatory properties, reduced oxidative stress, liver fibrosis, and stiffness. It also improved liver enzymes and size while increasing liver glutathione levels.
- Bergamot, Aged Black Garlic, and Artichoke: In a study in subjects over age 50, this formulation increased liver fat clearance by 34%.
Antioxidant Support
Antioxidants neutralize damaging Free Radical molecules by donating electrons.
- Liposomal Glutathione is the preferred form of the body’s most important endogenous antioxidant.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that reduces with age. It supports recycling antioxidants, and binding mercury in the brain and body.
Alcohol Detox
- Resveratrol, Grape Seed, and Glutathione have been shown to reduce liver enzyme levels.
Avoid Chemicals & Metals
- Avoid plastics in food prep, auto fumes, solvents, and non-natural cleaner exposure. Eat organic, antibiotic-free, and pesticide-free when it is realistic.
