Detox

Cysteine is a non-essential amino acid. It is one of the 20 amino acids found in proteins, but it is one of the few amino acids that contain sulfur. It plays an important role in protein synthesis and the production of antioxidants in the human body.

Cysteine is found in many protein-rich foods, such as meat, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts. However, the amount of cysteine obtained through the diet may not be enough to cover daily needs, so it is advisable to obtain it through dietary supplements.

It has also been assessed that cysteine can perform the following functions:

• It can act in liver protection and is an amino acid that participates in detoxification processes in the body.
• It can act in liver protection and is an amino acid that participates in detoxification processes in the body.
• Sulfur-containing amino acids may contribute to the maintenance of healthy hair, nails, and skin structure.
• Boosts resistance and stimulates hair and nail growth.
• Hair and nail revitalizing agent.
• Contributes to normal hair growth.

Together with glycine, with glutamic acid, vitamins C and E, they synthesize glutathione, a very powerful antioxidant. It also contributes to the formation of another amino acid such as taurine.

Taurine is the second most common amino acid found in the body. It is a non-essential sulfur amino acid that is considered, like other sulfur amino acids, a powerful antioxidant and stabilizer of cell membranes in situations of oxidative stress. It can be synthesized in the body from cysteine and vitamin B6. It is also found in foods such as meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products, fish.

Taurine is used by the body to form bile acids that help break down fats in the small intestine.

It also contributes to excreting bilirubin and cholesterol in the bile. Although research on taurine has focused mainly on its cardiovascular and neurological functions, current studies show other functions that play an important role in health such as the reduction of inflammation associated with oxidative stress, detoxification and immune function.

Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid, that is, our body can synthesize it but in insufficient quantities. That is why it is important to supplement it with diet. It is a precursor of many metabolites such as glutathione, an antioxidant molecule responsible for defending the body against external agents.

Among its functions, the best known is that it works as a neurotransmitter. But it could also be involved in the synthesis of proteins, precursors of molecules (such as glutathione) and elimination of benzoates, which are preservatives present in food.

Alpha-lipoic acid was discovered more than 40 years ago and, at first, it was thought to be a vitamin. However, later studies assessed that our body could synthesize it and lost the term “vitamin”. It is an antioxidant substance that is synthesized in human tissues, but, with age, its synthesis gradually decreases.

Alpha lipoic acid is also found in foods, such as red meat, carrots, beets, spinach, and broccoli. But in this case, the proportion ingested is very small and it is essential to supplement.

This powerful antioxidant is capable of regenerating other antioxidants such as vitamin C, E and reduced glutathione. It helps all the B vitamins convert the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats we eat from food into energy.

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is one of the medicinal plants used for centuries to care for the liver and digestive discomfort related to liver functions. Its active component is silymarin, which is attributed with antioxidant properties.

Silymarin, thanks to its antioxidant action, can help promote the secretion of bile. In other words, it contributes to liver detoxification.

• Liver health support.
• Contributes to liver protection.
• Contributes to liver detoxification.
• Useful for maintaining physiological purifying functions.
• Helps maintain cardiovascular health.
• It promotes digestion and purification of the body.

Specifically, Active Detox contains 75 mg of Milk Thistle, of which:

• Silymarin 60 mg
• Silybin and isoslibin 22.5 mg

Resveratrol is the active component extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum, a plant rich in resveratrol. It is a naturally occurring polyphenol belonging to the stilbene family usually found in the skin of red grapes, in wine, and in some berries.

We can find resveratrol in the vine plant (Vitis vinifera) contains resveratrol, but the roots of Polygonum Cuspidatum, which grows in Asia, contain higher percentages of this component.

Resveratrol’s fame stems from the “French paradox” which is a term used to describe the observation that even though the traditional French diet is high in saturated fat, the French have a low incidence of cardiovascular disease compared to other countries with similar diets. It has been speculated that this could be due to other components that are part of the French diet, such as the resveratrol present in red wine.

Resveratrol has an antioxidant action, like all polyphenols. This can neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress in cells.

Curcumin C3 Reduct® contains high bioavailability curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin metabolites with 95% tetrahydrocurcuminoids.

Assessed by EFSA as safe for the target population at a dose of 140 mg per day.

Curcumin C3 Reduct® is the focus of clinical research for the management of several lifestyle-related conditions: arthritis, liver disorders, inflammation, hypercholesterolemia, among others, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Curcumin, the main source of curcuminoids from the spice turmeric, has gained increasing global recognition for its multiple health benefits, particularly its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, the ingredient is used as a means to support health and longevity.

Specifically turmeric (Curcuma longa):

• It prevents the accumulation of fats and facilitates their elimination by the liver.
• Helps maintain liver health.
• Helps maintain the health of the lungs and upper respiratory tract.
• Helps maintain the effectiveness of the immune system.
• Helps maintain allergy resistance.
• Antioxidant / Protects from free radicals.
• Supports nervous system function.
• Supports heart function.
• Supports blood circulation.
• Helps keep skin healthy.
• It is used to stimulate appetite.
• Helps promote appetite in cases of appetite loss.

A primary advantage of Curcumin C3 Reduct is that these health benefits are concentrated and enhanced. In C3 Reduct, curcuminoids are in the form of tetrahydrocurcuminoids (THC). That is, the product is assimilated directly into the body as beneficial metabolites.
This is important as the metabolites are more bioavailable than the original curcuminoids.
In fact, C3 Reduct is the only EFSA-approved product of its kind on the market.
This is because C3 Reduct delivers active metabolites directly to the body.

Zinc is a very important trace mineral that is part of a large number of enzymes and other metabolites, distributed in all organs, fluids and secretions of the human body. Zinc is present in many foods.

The richest source of zinc is oysters. They are followed by meat, fish, seafood, as well as zinc-fortified breakfast cereals. To a lesser extent, it is contained in beans, nuts, whole grains, eggs and dairy products.

Among its functions, zinc contributes:

• to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
• to normal macronutrient metabolism.
• to normal fatty acid metabolism.
• to normal acid-base balance.
• to normal carbohydrate metabolism.
• to normal cognitive function.
• to normal DNA synthesis.
• to normal fertility and reproduction.
• to normal vitamin A metabolism.
• to normal protein synthesis.
• to the maintenance of bones in normal conditions.
• to the maintenance of hair in normal conditions.
• to the maintenance of nails in normal conditions.
• to the maintenance of the skin in normal conditions.
• to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels.
• to the maintenance of vision under normal conditions.
• to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• to the process of cell division.
