  • What is Bio-Milk Thistle?
    BIO-MILK THISTLE is a western herbal medicine that is used to support liver function in adults 18 years and older. In addition, BIO-MILK THISTLE may help to relieve digestive disturbances or indigestion, including discomfort following overindulgence.
    Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a medicinal plant with a rich history of use which started in the Mediterranean over 2000 years ago. In Greco-Roman times the leaves were used as herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, particularly liver complaints. Since the latter nineteenth century, eclectic physicians in the USA recognised the clinical benefits of preparations from milk thistle seeds (technically the fruits) for “congestion of the liver, spleen, and kidneys”.
    Today milk thistle is used for its medicinal benefits in support of liver function, detoxification, and healthy digestion.

  • Biomax® Glutathione Liposomal® is, quite simply, the next-generation innovation in glutathione supplementation. It contains Setria® (a naturally fermented and patented Japanese form of glutathione) and is enhanced with liposome entrapment technology for optimum absorption and bioavailability.

    Recognised as the great protector and known as the “master antioxidant”, glutathione promotes a healthy immune system and supports the liver. Without it, every cell would become so ravaged by free radicals that it would disintegrate. The human body obtains glutathione in two ways: some is produced internally, while some is provided by the diet. Because of the body’s ability to make glutathione, it is not considered an “essential” nutrient – but under some conditions, we need more glutathione than the body can produce.

  • What is Calcium D-Glucarate?
    Calcium D-Glucarate is the calcium form of D-glucaric acid, a substance produced naturally in small amounts in the body. Glucaric acid is also found in many fruits and vegetables. Scientific studies have found that Calcium D-Glucarate can facilitate complete detoxification and elimination of certain metabolic waste products and environmental compounds from the body. By supporting the body’s natural cleansing mechanisms, Calcium D-Glucarate may help to maintain normal cellular function and promote liver, prostate, and breast health.

  • What is DMG?

    Also known as Pangamic Acid, is a derivative of the amino acid Glycine that can be found in foods such as beans, brown rice and pumpkin seeds.

  • What is Glutathione?

    Glutathione is a small peptide molecule composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is produced by every cell of the body, with especially high levels in the liver. Glutathione is critical for healthy immune system function and is necessary for proper detoxification processes. It also plays a critical role in the body’s defense system against oxidative stress by directly neutralizing free radicals, as well as by maintaining the activity of vitamins C and E. Milk Thistle Extract and Alpha Lipoic Acid are included as complementary ingredients.

  • What is Sulfur Amino Acid with Vitamin B-6 L-Methionine?

    Sulfur Amino Acid with Vitamin B-6 L-Methionine is an essential amino acid, which means that it cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained through the diet or by supplementation. L-Methionine supports the production of the cellular radical scavenger glutathione, and thereby assists in natural detoxification processes.* In the body, L-Methionine can also be converted into SAMe (S-Adenosyl Methionine), a compound that supports healthy joints.* Furthermore, the human body relies on ingested sulfur amino acids, such as L-Methionine, for the synthesis of protein, as well as for biologically active sulfur.*
