N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a source of the amino acid cysteine. The body is capable of making limited quantities of cysteine, which is used to manufacture the body’s most powerful naturally made antioxidant, glutathione. Glutathione is an important component of antioxidant enzymes, as well as an essential component of the liver’s detoxification processes. NAC has been shown to be more efficient at supporting higher glutathione levels than supplemental glutathione itself. NAC helps protect the liver from the potentially harmful effects of free radicals which are generated during metabolism, found in our environment, and those derived from the metabolism of alcohol and certain medications. Selenium and molybdenum are included as essential cofactors.

Features
Contains synergistic ingredients that help support normal, healthy liver detoxification and provide antioxidant protection.†
600mg of NAC.
Includes cofactors selenium and molybdenum.
Vegetarian capsule.
Gluten-free.


Benefits
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) serves as a source of cysteine required for the liver’s synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals produced during the first phase of liver detoxification.†
Glutathione is also needed during phase 2 liver detoxification. In this phase, various chemical intermediates produced in phase 1 are chemically bound to specific amino acids and then prepared for excretion via the kidneys (urine). If there is inadequate glutathione, toxic chemicals can accumulate causing liver damage and damage to healthy cells.†
NAC has been shown in studies to help protect the liver from the damaging effects of drug and or alcohol toxicity.†
Selenium is an important cofactor for the production of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme made in the liver that helps neutralize toxic free radicals.†
Molybdenum is an essential cofactor for the phase 2 detoxification process known as sulfation. This process, through the use of sulfur-containing compound such as glutathione, taurine, and SAMe, helps to detoxify sulfur-containing chemicals found in food additives, drugs, and the environment, all of which can be potentially harmful to the body.†

For several decades, anthocyanoside-rich standardized extracts from bilberry (often standardized at 25%) have been studied for their potential health effects on various vision, microcirculation, and vascular-related conditions.† Bilberry extract reduces capillary fragility reducing vessel overgrowth through its ability to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels.† This appears to be a unique property of bilberry compared to most other anthocyanoside-containing fruit-derived extracts. Studies show that bilberry’s anthocyanins promote human health by fortifying blood vessel walls. This helps improve blood flow to the tiny blood vessels that keep eyes healthy, as well as to larger blood vessels that help maintain optimal circulation throughout the body.† Furthermore, these phytochemicals strengthen collagen, an essential component of the structure of skin, bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues.† Red grape skin extract provides an added supply of anthocyanidins, and along with citrus bioflavonoid complex, helps support the integrity of collagen-containing structures.†

Citrus bioflavonoids help support the integrity of collagen which comprises the main structural material of blood vessels, cartilage, skin, and other important biological structures.†

Cranberry juice has a long history of use to help support urinary tract health.† The exact mechanism is unknown, but some researchers believe that cranberry has the ability to lower the pH of the urine (making it more acidic), which may provide support to the lining of the urinary tract.† There is some active ingredient in cranberry that is responsible for this mechanism of action. The Cran-Max® brand of cranberry concentrate is manufactured through a proprietary process that intensifies the natural benefits of the whole cranberry, without the use of any solvents, preservatives, sugars, artificial colors, or flavors. The fact that the active ingredient responsible for its health-promoting properties has yet to be identified, using the whole cranberry with all of the natural bioactive compounds is essential.

Providing the whole cranberry ensures a full spectrum of phytonutrients and other bioactive compounds that provide specific health benefits.†
Cran-Max® has been shown in studies to help support a normal, healthy urinary tract.†

Ginkgo biloba has been studied for many years, with research demonstrating its powerful antioxidant potential as well as its ability to support circulation, thereby improving glucose and oxygen transport, particularly to the brain. Our Ginkgo biloba is European standardized ginkgo from a world leader in the manufacturing of European extracts used in clinical studies. European herbs are manufactured to the same standards as over-the-counter drugs in the USA. More importantly, the herb must demonstrate efficacy and safety before it can be sold to the public. The two active ingredients that provide the most significant health benefits are the flavone glycosides and terpene lactones, both of which our ginkgo is consistently standardized for.†



Features
Manufactured by a world leader in European standardized herbs.
Standardized to 24% Flavonglycosides, 6% Terpene Lactones, 0.8% Ginkgolide B.
Made to the same specifications as the material used in clinical studies
Tested for ginkgolic acid, which is a contaminant naturally occurring in ginkgo. It is potentially harmful in large amounts. Our material is required to test below 5 ppm.


Benefits
Active ingredients are powerful antioxidants that help protect healthy brain cells against free radical damage.†
Effectively supports healthy circulation by promoting the stable activity of platelet-activating factor; an important mechanism involved in normal, healthy blood clotting.†
By supporting circulation, ginkgo helps promote the delivery of oxygen and other essential nutrients, particularly to the brain.†
Ginkgo has been studied extensively to support brain health. It is important to note that these studies used European standardized extracts. Using nonstandardized ginkgo will not produce the same effects.†
More than 120 clinical studies have been published on standardized ginkgo biloba extract, most of which demonstrated benefits for brain, cardiovascular, and neurological health. Studies also show ginkgo promotes antioxidant protection
