Detoxication Factors:
Liver detoxication occurs in two phases. During Phase I, enzymatic chemical reactions change both exogenous substances (e.g., prescription medications and pesticides) and endogenous toxins (e.g., hormones) into more water-soluble metabolites. In Phase II detoxication, the liver conjugates these metabolites to protective compounds— such as glucuronides, glutathione, sulfonates, and amino acids—that make them less harmful and easier to eliminate.
Developed to support healthy Phase I and II detoxication pathways in the liver, Detoxication Factors provides an expertly formulated combination of more than 30 ingredients.* It can be used for everyday nutritional support, for periods of increased oxidative stress and targeted cleansing, and can be incorporated into individualized endocrine, cardiovascular, or cellular support protocols.*
Detoxication Factors contains:
• Nutrients that defend against oxidation and free radical damage*
• Conjugating agents: compounds that bind and/or support the conversion of fat-soluble toxins for elimination*
• Nutritional cofactors: vitamins, minerals, enzymes, botanical extracts, and other nutrients that participate in metabolic defense, repair, and restoration*
R-Lipoic Acid: the most active form of alpha-lipoic acid
- supports neurological function*
- antioxidant in both water- and fat-soluble tissues*
- essential for liver, eye, and nerve health*
- the form of supplemental lipoic acid found in highest concentration in the bloodstream
C-Plex: derived from ascorbic acid from which corn allergens have been removed, also contains bioflavonoids and is a perfect hypoallergenic choice for supplementation with the vitamin C complex. Flavonoids such as rutin and hesperidin as well as those from citrus sources frequently occur with vitamin C in nature, and appear to improve its bioavailability and complement its actions in the body. Flavonoids are useful in their own right as antioxidants and stabilizers of vascular permeability and capillary integrity. C-Plex includes generous amounts of flavonoids, unlike many other vitamin C complex formulas.
