Renew Life Critical Liver SupportWhat is Critical Liver Support? Critical Liver Support improves liver function and provides therapeutic liver protection. It is formulated for anyone who suffers from chronic liver conditions (that are under control), or is simply looking to ensure optimal liver health. How is it delivered? Critical Liver Support consists of powdered herbs and amino acids delivered in vegetable capsules. What does it do? Critical Liver Support improves liver function and provides therapeutic liver protection as well as antioxidant protection. The ingredients in Critical Liver Support have also been shown to have a positive effect on the reduction of elevated blood lipid levels. How does it work? The liver is the largest, and one of the most vital organs in the body. Without it, we would die within 24 hours. It plays a role in many important functions; including making vital substances such as cholesterol, blood proteins, clotting proteins and lipoproteins. It is also involved in blood filtration, bile production, production and break down of hormones, regulation of blood sugar, and detoxification of endotoxins (internally produced) and exotoxins (environmental). These are just a small list of functions that the liver plays a role in. Optimal liver function is vital in order to deal with the abundance of jobs it is required to perform. If the liver is not in good health, it can become sluggish and result in congestion or poor functioning. People with chronic liver conditions need to ensure 3 things are happening: 1. They are promoting liver rejuvenation. 2. They are protecting the liver against damage with powerful anti-oxidants. 3. They are promoting proper liver function. Critical Liver Support does all 3 of these important tasks. How do I take it? Take 3 capsules per day. Do not take at the same time as prescription medication. Take at least 2 hours after taking prescription medication. Use for a minimum of 3 weeks to see beneficial results. What can I expect? If you have a chronic liver condition you may notice improvement in symptoms and an increase in energy and overall vitality. If you are in general good health, and are using the product as a preventative measure, you may notice an increase in energy and a lowering or stabilizing of cholesterol levels. Support Products Organic Clear Fibre is a fibre supplement containing 100% organic acacia fibre. Acacia is high in soluble fibre, but yields little to no gastrointestinal side effects such as gas and bloating. Acacia fibre works like a `sponge` to absorb toxins and excess cholesterol. It also works to help control blood sugar levels in the body. What does it contain? Critical Liver Support contains ingredients to rejuvenate, support, and protect the liver. Ingredients to promote liver rejuvenation Milk Thistle * Aids in liver repair, protection and cellular regeneration. Prevents damage to the liver by acting as an antioxidant. Includes the extract `Silymarian`, a group of flavonoid compounds. Prevents depletion of the anti-oxidant glutathione, and has been shown to increase its levels by up to 35%. Has been shown to be effective in treating various liver diseases including cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, fatty infiltration of the liver and inflammation of the bile duct. Ingredients to protect the liver against damage R+ Alpha Lipoic Acid * A powerful antioxidant that protects the liver. It also restores the antioxidant properties of Vitamin C & Vitamin E after they have been neutralized by free radicals. It stimulates the production of glutathione. Not only is Alpha Lipoic Acid a powerful antioxidant in its own right, but it also recycles glutathione, giving cells a double dose of antioxidant protection. In addition, it is easily absorbed when taken orally, and once inside cells it is quickly converted to its most potent form, dihydrolipoic acid, which is an even more potent free-radical neutralizer than Alpha Lipoic Acid. N-Acetyl-Cysteine * Helps the liver convert toxic substances so they do not harm the liver. It converts into glutathione and prevents glutathione depletion during toxic overload. Selenium * A well known antioxidant that is used to protect cell and organelle membranes, including liver organelles. It also plays a role in enzyme production by the liver. A selenium deficiency is known to inhibit Phase II detoxification enzymes. Vitamin C * A potent water-soluble antioxidant. Ingredients to promote proper liver function Garlic Bulb * Inhibits lipid peroxidation (the oxidative degradation of lipids) in the liver, slowing the aging process in liver cells. Maintains health function of the liver. Garlic is a powerful detoxifying agent that can protect against various liver toxins. In an experimental study, garlic protected against acetaminophen induced liver toxicity. Artichoke Leaf * Increases the breakdown of cholesterol to bile salts, thus increasing bile production and flow, and regulates the internal production of cholesterol in the liver. Dandelion Root * Stimulates the production of bile in the liver. Turmeric Root * Showed significant free radical scavenging properties. Has significant liver protecting effects.
