HEPATOCLEANSE 1260 MG PROPRIETARY BLEND:

The first step in the NutriClean system features HepatoCleanse^TM capsules, a combination of special botanicals and nutrients that can help support healthy liver function. ^* The liver is the body's primary filter for toxins. The filtering process is acheived through a coordinated effort of two families of enzymes known as cytochrome P450s and conjugation enzymes. These enzymes can underperform due to a poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, and chronic stress. The cytochrome P450 enzymes split molecular oxygen (O₂) and create activated oxygen radicals to react with a foreign compound. The conjugation enzyme can then act upon the oxidized compound and add other types of molecules to make the foreign compound more water soluble and excretable.* 

Milk Thistle Seed (extract standardized to 80 % silymarin)
Milk thistle promotes liver and gallbladder health by providing free radical scavenging activity and support for normal liver cell regeneration. Milk thistle has shown to demonstrate strong, supportive activity when various toxins challenge liver cells. Milk thistle promotes a healthy liver by supporting the normal regeneration of liver tissue and helping the body maintain helthy levels of bile cholesterol. It contains the compound, silymarin, a powerful antioxidant that scavenges free radicals. Additionally, it has shown to promote kidney health and may support the prostate gland. The name silymarin is a general term for the active chemicals known as flavonolignans. These chemicals are only in the seeds of milk thistle plant. Silymarin, as well as an isolated form of flavonolignan known as silybin, can support a healthy liver and promote the body’s natural ability to combat toxins such as alcohol, environmental toxins and poisons. There is preliminary evidence that silymarin may support healthy serum transaminase levels and liver health. There are many studies that indicate silymarin’s effectiveness in promoting cleansing the liver.* 

N-Acetyl-L-cysteine
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) comes from the amino acid cysteine. One of NAC’s key functions is its metabolism for intracellular glutathione (GTH), one of the body’s primary cellular antioxidants. GTH not only acts as a reducing agent and antioxidant in the body, it is also known to detoxify chemicals into less harmful compounds, support the normal transport of nutrients to the lymphocytes and phagocytes (two major types of immune cells), and promote the health of cell membranes. Many experts consider NAC to be a top source of increasing GTH levels. Additionally, reviews of studies that confirm NAC’s conversion of GTH in the body show that oral NAC supplementation can enhance levels of glutathione in the liver, plasma and the bronchioles of the lungs. The body produces NAC naturally.*

Dandelion Root
Dandelion root has shown in studies to support a healthy liver, kidney, gallbladder and digestive system. The bitter properties of dandelion promote healthy liver function by supporting healthy bile production in the gallbladder as well as bile flow from the liver. The support of normal bile flow may also help support healthy fat metabolism in the body. Dandelion root may also help support a healthy appetite and a healthy digestive system, and dandelion compounds have shown to protect against oxidative stresses and support normal antioxidant enzyme status.*

RELEASE 1160 MG PROPRIETARY BLEND

nutraMetrix Nutriclean® Release capsules are a combination of special herbs and botanicals that provide a safe, easy and effective means of helping to maintain a healthy digestive tract via regularity. They produce a laxative effect on the gastrointestinal system by promoting peristalsis, which are the natural contractions and movements initiated by the body’s digestive system. Release capsules work to gently cleanse the bowel, supporting the gastrointestinal tract’s ability to both absorb necessary vitamins and minerals and eliminate toxins.* 

Rhubarb Root 
Rhubarb is a remedy used for occasional constipation. It works by helping to support healthy bowel movements and helping to cleanse the intestines as a part of the NutriClean detoxification system. Rhubarb contains compounds called anthraquinones, which are laxative substances similar to those found in senna or cascara. It has a laxative effect as it promotes secretion of fluid into the bowel, causing strong muscular contractions of the bowel wall and speeding up bowel movements. It is thought that rhubarb may support both the kidney and liver.* 

Buckthorn Bark
Buckthorn bark’s primary use is for supporting healthy bowel movements. Buckthorn bark and berries are high in anthraquinone glycosides. Anthraquinone glycosides, as found in rhubarb, promote the large intestine’s muscular contraction – or peristalsis. These compounds also support water movement from colon cells into the feces, which supports soft bowel movement. It takes six to ten hours for buckthorn to act after taking it by mouth.* 

Cascara Sagrada bark exract (20% hydroxyanthracene derivatives calculated as cascaroside A)
Cascara’s primary use is for occasional constipation relief. It supports normal, healthy bowel movements and softer stool.* 

Gentian Root 
Gentian promotes a normal appetite. Its bitter properties stimulate the taste buds, thus promoting saliva and digestive juices.*

Anise Seed
Anise is an herb that may benefit several areas of health. This includes supporting a normal appetite as well as digestive health and comfort.* 

Fennel Seed
Fennel seed is a common ingredient for digestive health and detoxification supplements. It may help maintain digestive health.*

Goldenseal is an herb believed to possess a wide variety of health benefits. This includes the promotion of digestive and liver health. Goldenseal also contains berberine, which may attribute to its health-supporting benefits.*

Peppermint Leaf 
The oil from the peppermint leaf can promote normal appetite, liver and gallbladder health, normal digestion and healthy bowel movements. Peppermint may also promote relaxedmuscles in the small intestine with the help of menthol – an active ingredient in peppermint. Additionally, peppermint has shown to be beneficial for maintaining general gastrointestinal comfort.*

NUTRAMETRIX NUTRICLEAN^® ADVANCED FIBER POWDER WITH STEVIA

nutraMetrix NutriClean® Advanced Fiber Powder with Stevia helps support normal bowel regularity and can help relieve occasional constipation^†. This blend of fibers and probiotics team up to help cleanse the colon and promote immune health.

Fibersol-2^®± (soluble fiber flucose polymer complex)
Fibersol-2 is a soluble fiber having a positive impact on the elimination of wastes and colon cleansing, as well as helping to maintain balanced bowels, helping support normal bowel regularity and fecal volume, and supporting healthy digestive function.*

^±Fibersol®-2 is a registered trademark of Matsutani Chemical Industry Co. Ltd.

Inulin Fiber (fructo-oligosaccharide extract of chicory root)
Inulin fiber delivers prebiotic, which is a subset fiber. Inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are fibers in the form of starches that the human body cannot fully digest. When a person consumes prebiotics, the undigested portions provide nourishment for beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Inulins may promote the growth of favorable bacterial populations, such as bifidobacteria, in the colon. Bifidobacteria may help balance bacteria in the digestive tract.* 

Probiotic Blend (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifodobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus casei)
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that work to help maintain an optimal bacterial balance in the digestive tract. The digestive system naturally houses trillions of these good bacteria that directly help the body digest, modify and convert the foods we eat. Disruptions to these populations of probiotics are common and should remain at adequate levels in order to overwhelm other bacteria, which may begin to run rampant in the event the good bacteria levels decrease. In displacing other bacteria and yeast, beneficial bacterial - like acidophilus, plantarum, bifidum and casei – may help maintain a healthy immune system and colon. Foods like cultured yogurts and kefir contain such beneficial bacteria naturally.* 

Both human and animal studies have demonstrated direct benefits of regular probiotic ingestion on immune system function. Overall, probiotic bacteria support the ability of the immune system to recognize and destroy invading organisms. Several key fighters of the immune system, including macrophages, immunoglobulins and cytokines, may benefit from regular intake of beneficial bacteria. Consuming beneficial bacteria also helps maintain healthy white blood cell counts.* 

L-glutamine 1,000 mg
L-glutamine is an amino acid derived from another amino acid, glutamic acid. Glutamine is a restorative amino acid that the GI tract uses as its source of fuel. Glutamine supports overall health by helping to maintain normal cholesterol and blood glucose levels, and promoting immune health. Heavy exercise can contribute to depleting the body's glutamine reserves, particularly in muscle cells. Since cells of the intestine use glutamine for fuel, use of supplemental L-glutamine may be beneficial to promote digestive health.*
