Product # 728:  Milk Thistle Extract Plus                                                   Background:   The liver is the body’s main organ of detoxification.  In a two-phase process the liver is able to detoxify toxic substances making them more water-soluble, therefore easier to excrete.  Milk thistle helps protect the liver from potential damage caused by toxic substances.*  By acting at the cell membrane of hepatocytes (liver cells), milk thistle helps prevent toxins from entering the cell and causing damage to healthy liver cells.*  The active ingredient silymarin is effective at protecting the liver from acute and chronic  exposure to toxins.*  It also helps support the liver’s antioxidant defenses, as this organ is consistently exposed to a variety of damaging free radicals.*   Features: European standardized Milk Thistle extract Standardized to 80% Silymarin providing 140mg per capsule. Added standardized turmeric and artichoke for synergistic liver support.   Benefits: Helps support normal, healthy liver detoxification. The liver being the major organ of detoxification requires support to help detoxify harmful substances preparing them for excretion.* Milk Thistle helps protect overall liver function. The liver is involved in so many important functions i.e. glucose metabolism, vitamin storage, cholesterol and bile production, vitamin D synthesis, that any damage to the liver caused by toxic substances can impair many important biochemical and physiological functions.* Standardized turmeric extract is included for its synergistic effects. Studies show that the active curcuminoids in turmeric help protect the liver from free radical damage and support liver detoxification processes.*  Turmeric encourages a healthy inflammatory response, which helps protect healthy liver cells from damage.* Standardized artichoke extract has been shown to help provide support to the liver and gall bladder. By supporting healthy bile production in the liver and the normal flow of bile from the liver to the gall bladder, artichoke helps encourage the removal of toxins processed by the liver.* Ingredients   Preparation of the Extract and Quality Control Standard quality assured Milk thistle, the plant of Cardui mariae fruct. originates frommaterial grown in Europe. From these fruits, specially identifiedand with a standard quality Euromed manufactures Milk thistleextract. The plant material used for Euromed Milk thistle extract isprimarily cultivated.

Strict quality control of the extracts Euromed applies an extraction process which provides a highyield of valuable constituents and a high-grade extract in acareful way.   EUROMED S.A. INFO Milk Thistle Dry Extract EUROMED milk thistle extract is a standardized herbal extract of Silybum marianum L. fruits, an annual Mediterranean plant belonging to Asteraceae. It can also be found in warm dry regions of central Europe as well as South America and South Australia. Chemistry Milk thistle contains several groups of substances:– Flavonolignans: Silymarin an isomer mixture of the flavonolignans silybin, silychristin and silydianin and other flavonolignans like isosilybin, isosilichristin, dehydrosilibin and dehydrosilichristin.– Flavonoids: apigenin, eriodictyol, chrysoeriol, 5,7-dihydroxychromone, dihydrokaempferol, isofraxidin, naringenin, quercetin and taxifolin.– Neolignan: dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol.– Aliphatic oil: a high proportion of linoleum acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid as well as some other fatty acids together with tocopherol and sterols such as campesterol, cholesterol, sitosterol and stigmasterol. Indications The extract of milk thistle is used in the treatment of toxic liver damage and is also recommended for supportive treatment of chronic inflammatory liver diseases and cirrhosis. The therapeutic effect is based on the stimulation of RNA polymerase I in liver cells, the stabilisation of liver cell membranes and its antioxydative properties. Milk thistle possesses the ability to regenerate liver cells that have been injured. Contraindications, interactions and side-effects Milk thistle extract is generally well tolerated. Side-effects are rare when the standardised extract is taken. There are no known interactions with drugs usually prescribed. Therapeutic Safety Milk thistle extract is notable of its particularly high level of clinical safety. It is almost devoid of any side-effects and may be used by a wide range of people. Since it does stimulate liver and gallbladder activity, it may have a mild, transient laxative effect in some individuals. Our Video Reports

Contains synergistic ingredients that help support normal, healthy liver detoxification and provide antioxidant protection.* 600 mg of NAC Includes cofactors selenium and molybdenum. Vegetarian capsule Gluten free 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.*   Benefits: N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) serves as a source of cysteine required for the liver’s synthesis of glutathione. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant which 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.* Label

  Lecithin is a natural emulsifier found in many foods.  It is often found in foods such as mayonnaise (mixture of fat and water-soluble substance) where eggs which contain lecithin act as an emulsifying agent to keep them mixed together rather than separated such as what happens in a mixture of oil and vinegar due to a lack of an emulsifier like lecithin.  Our lecithin is derived from soybeans. Lecithin from soy is an excellent source of phospholipids.  These compounds play important structural and functional roles in the cell, particularly the cell membrane.  About 60% of the dry weight of the brain is composed of phospholipids, hence their importance in brain structure and function.   As part of the structure of brain cell membranes, phospholipids help support neurotransmitter and hormone function, as they provide the environment that cells need for cell to cell communication and overall cell function.   Phosphatidylcholine is a good source of choline, which is needed to support neurotransmitter production, essential for the normal, healthy functioning of the nervous system.  Lecithin has also been studied for its role in helping to support healthy cholesterol metabolism, fat digestion and metabolism, thereby providing support for healthy cholesterol levels.*     Benefits:     Excellent source of phosphatidylcholine (PC), an important phospholipid that is a significant component of the cell membrane particularly that of nerve cells including the brain.   PC is also a source of choline which is used by the body to make the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine.   Lecithin is also a source of other phospholipids including phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine.  Both of these compounds are critical to normal, healthy cell function.*   Phosphatidylcholine provides a source of choline which the body uses to manufacture acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in numerous neurological mechanisms including cell to cell communication, particularly as it relates to learning and short term memory.* PC levels have been shown to decline with age, therefore supplementation becomes even more important as we age.*   PC has also been shown to help support normal, healthy liver and gall bladder function.*

Gastrointestinal problems are common conditions that plague our society.  Pharmacies and supermarkets offer a wide selection of products designed to provide temporary relief of symptoms, rather than address the underlying cause.  The majority of gastrointestinal conditions are related to the typical American diet which focuses on highly processed and refined, high fat, high sugar and low fiber foods.  This type of diet results in poor digestive health which can to lead to irregular bowel movements and the increased amount of time fecal matter comes in contact with the cells lining the intestinal tract.   Our Colon Cleanse formula provides a synergistic combination of ingredients that help support normal, healthy bowel function, which in turn encourages the “regular” elimination of waste material.  By encouraging “regularity”, this formula helps support overall health and wellness, which is oftentimes related to normal, healthy gastrointestinal function.*   Features: Synergistic combination of plant extracts designed to support healthy intestinal function.* Supports regularity without the use of harsh laxatives.* Contains herbs with demulcent and carminative properties that soothe the mucosal lining. Easy to swallow vegetarian capsules Gluten free   Benefits: Cascara Sagrada helps to support smooth muscle contraction of the colon and facilitate the elimination of waste. It also has a toning and strengthening effect that can support normal bowel function.* Aloe vera leaf contains compounds known as anthraquinone glycosides.  Numerous studies have demonstrated the ability of these compounds to support normal colon function and stool consistency. Aloe not only supports the smooth muscle contraction of the colon but also provides a soothing demulcent effect to the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.* Flax seed provides the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid.  This fat has been shown to support a healthy inflammatory response.  Flaxseed also provides a source of fiber and lignans, both of which benefit intestinal health.* Marshmallow root is a demulcent which contains compounds that help soothe and protect the mucous lining of the intestinal tract.* Peppermint contains compounds called carminatives.  These compounds have been shown to have a “relaxing” affect on the smooth muscle that lines the intestinal tract, and can provide support for normal, healthy intestinal function.* Slippery Elm is another highly regarded demulcent that soothes the intestinal lining.* Rhubarb benefits the muscles of the intestinal wall by supporting strength and overall function.  As an astringent, this plant extract also helps to protect the lining of the colon.* Label
