Benefits Of Each Ingredient
Aquamin® Mineralized Red Algae
● May support osteogenesis, promoting bone formation and mineralization (390).
● May support antioxidant effects and the ability to induce apoptosis in U937 cells (392).
● May support enhanced gut microbial diversity, potentially promoting digestive health (393).
● May support improvements in lipid profiles, including potentially lowering LDL cholesterol levels (394).
Kelp
● High bioavailable source of iodine and polyphenols (32).
● May support healthy thyroid levels in individuals with impaired thyroid function (32).
Alfalfa
● May support immune, digestive, and energy levels (395).
● The high antioxidant capacity may allow for free radical scavenging of reactive oxygen species (395).
● May support liver health via reduced fatty acid accumulation in the liver (395).
Organic Chlorella
● May support antioxidant function through its high levels of carotenoids, which can protect against DNA damage and scavenge free radicals (265).
● May support cardiovascular health by potentially reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels (265).
● May support detoxification by aiding in the removal of methylmercury from the body (265).
● May potentially combat depression by helping to reduce oxidative stress in the brain (266).
Organic Milk Thistle
● May support liver health, aids as antioxidants, and reduces inflammation (345).
● May support liver health via high amounts of Silymarin which reduces lipid peroxidation and inhibits binding of toxins to the hepatocyte cell membrane receptors (345).
Reishi
● May support immune health, antioxidant activity, balanced estrogen levels, antiviral support, antibacterial, reduced stress, improved exercise performance, and blood sugar regulation (194,195).
● May support immune health via high concentrations of betagluxans which increase natural killer cell activity and t-cell mediated immunity (194).
Iodine
● May support healthy thyroid levels in individuals with impaired thyroid function (32).
Organic Hyssop
● May support respiratory health, digestive health, healthy detoxification, and may combat respiratory viruses (272).
