Ingredients

N-Acetyl Cysteine

NAC is a modified amino acid that is a precursor to glutathione

• It is superior to glutathione supplementation because glutathione is broken down during digestion, while NAC is absorbed.
• reduces oxidative stress
• May support liver, kidney, lung, and heart health.

Milk Thistle Extract

Milk Thistle contains a group of actives called silymarins which exhibit protective effects

• Can enhance liver protein synthesis rates
• May reduce oxidation within the liver

Hawthorne Berry Extract

Hawthorne berry is a traditional herbal medicine

• May positively augment lipids metabolism
• May increase intestinal transit time
• May support liver health

Saw Palmetto Extract

Saw Palmetto is a tree similar to palm trees found in tropical areas.

• May support healthy testosterone levels
• May support prostate health

Grape Seed Extract

Grape Seed extract contains antioxidant polyphenols that can positively augment health markers

• May support cardiovascular function
• May have a protective effect on the testes of males

Alpha Lipoic Acid

ALA is a health fat which supports mitochondrial health.

• improves healthy energy metabolism
• reduces general oxidation

Indole-3-Carbinol

Indole-3-Carbinol is a potentially estrogen influencing compound found in cruciferous vegetables

• Interacts with the estrogen receptor indirectly
• this may augment binding of estrogen molecules
