Liver Gear
Gaurd Your Body With G.U.N. Liver Gear
Liver Gear's active ingredient Silymarin, protects the liver from toxins and supports liver cell regeneration. Loratories studies show that silymarin:
* Helps stabalize cell membranes, thefore preventing entry of toxic chemicals into the cell.
* Supports synthesis and activity of enzymes responsible for detoxification pathways.
* Exhibits potent antioxidant properties.
Specifically silymarin supports the glutathione S-transferase pathway to alter intracellular concentration of glutathione. Glutathione, a vital antioxidant produced in the liver, is the body's key protector against the oxidizing compounds that can lead to liver disease. Additional key components have been added to this highly concentrated formula only to enhance the protective benefits supplied by Liver Gear. A few of these key components consist of:
Cranberry Concentrate, often used to maintain a healthy urinary tract thus aiding in the detoxification of kidneys.
Saw palmetto, may inhibit conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone and estrogen, having a very beneficial effect on prostate health and possibly male-pattern baldness. N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine(NAC), derived from the sulfur-containing amino acid cystein, increases glutathione levels in the liver, lungs and plasma even more effectively than glutathione supplements. It is used to protect the liver from damage caused by glutathione depletion after acetaminophen overdosing.
Tumeric and its active constituent, curcumin, have hepatoprotective characteristics similar to that of silymarin. This protective effect is primarily due to its antioxidant properties. In animal studies, tumeric is shown to protect the liver from a variety of hepatotoxic insults including carbon tetrachloride, galactosamine and acetaminophen. Artichoke also helps this whole protective circle by preventing gutathione destruction. It appears to support liver regeneration, blood flow to traumatized areas of the liver and bile flow within the liver as well. SOD the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) helps revitalize cells and reduce the rate of cell destruction. It actually neutralizes the most common and possibly the most dangerous free radical, superoxide. Beet Leaf Powder supports bile flow and aids in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Bile acids are essential for digested fats and fat soluble vitamins to be carried across the intestinal wall directly into the blood stream.
Note: Supplements that increase bile flow should not be used by patients with obstructions of the bile duct.
