Description
Glutathione , our most potent internal antioxidant, is the centrepiece of this elegant formula designed by Quicksilver Scientific to enhance detoxification, with a focus on the liver. Glutathione is a tripeptide present in all the cells of the body, but in concentrations up to ten times higher in the liver, where it has been shown to be essential to life. Glutathione and its associated enzymes efficiently bind a wide range of toxins, including reactive oxygen species, peroxides, lipid peroxides, and heavy metals. Once neutralized by glutathione, these toxins can be safely eliminated through the liver and gut. Glutathione also recycles important antioxidants such as Vitamins E and C, and it is known to support proper immune function. Glutathione can become depleted with chronic exposure to toxins, infections, stress, heavy metals, and as we age. Milk thistle, or Silybum marianum, has been utilized worldwide for over 2,000 years for its remarkable hepatoprotective properties, and its ability to support the liver.6 Because of the liver’s critical role in continually metabolizing and eliminating toxins, this precious organ is susceptible to injury. Milk thistle also belongs to the broad class of bitter herbs, which function as tonics to aid secretion of digestive juices and support healthy bile flow. This versatile botanical helps preserve glutathione levels. Betaine anhydrous (TMG) is a naturally occurring compound prevalent in certain plants, especially sugar beets. It is a methyl donor, aids in liver function, and supports glutathione. B complex vitamins are offered in highly bioavailable forms to meet the metabolic demand during detoxification, as well as help the body convert food into energy. Uptake of both silybin, the key constituent of milk thistle’s silymarin, and of glutathione can be inhibited by breakdown in the digestive tract. The liposomal delivery system protects these molecules from breakdown. Liposomal formulations improve absorption of many molecules in the gastrointestinal tract, avoiding hepatic first-pass metabolism and resulting in higher bioavailability.
