Milk Thistle (seed) (80% Silymarin)

Shown to repair damage to the liver from alcohol and other methylateFactory Supplements compounds, Silymarin plays a key role in liver health. It is a known liver decongestant, stimulating bile flow through the liver and gallbladder, reducing bile-induced liver damage. It is also a great antioxidant, oxidising the many pollutants the liver filters in its phase one detoxification process. Silymarin also promotes Glutathione (GSH) and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), two of the bodies master super antioxidants. One study found that Silymarin can increase glutathione content as much as 50 percent. It can also promote healthy kidneys via increasing protein and nucleic acid synthesis, increasing cell replication by 25-30 percent.

N-Acetyl Cysteine

One of the lead factors in liver disease is a deficiency of liver glutathione, which is why N-Acetyl Cysteine (an amino-acid derivative that is a pre-cursor to Glutathione) is included in the formula. NAC replenishes intracellular levels of glutathione (GSH), which restores your cells’ ability to fight damage from free radicals. It can also help reduce liver inflammation.

Saw Palmetto Extract (seed) (85% Fatty Acids and Sterols)

An ingredient that is used to treat prostate hyperplasia by working in numerous ways. It counteracts hormones called androgens which can cause prostate enlargement. Lauric and oleic acid content in Saw Palmetto inhibit an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase that converts testosterone to (DHT). DHT can cause inflammation and excessive cell growth in the prostate, so you can see why this would be a benefit. It can also inhibit DHT already present from binding to cell receptor sites. Finally it acts like an alpha-blocker, which relaxes the prostate for optimal health.

One less well known effect of Saw Palmetto is its anti-estrogen effect. It acts on progesterone receptors, causing a reduction in estrogen levels.

Calcium

One of the most important minerals in the body, calcium is involved in muscle contractions, including that of the heart, skeletal muscles, and smooth muscle found in blood vessels and intestines, as well as the generation of nerve impulses. Its role here is to make sure the calcium-channel blocker properties of the Celery Seed doesn’t decrease the amount of force the muscle can generate when contracting.

Grape Seed Extract (95% Proanthocyanidins)

Shown in research to help improve hypertension (high blood pressure) with an average drop of 12 points in systolic pressure and 8 points in diastolic pressure by helping dilate blood vessels. Grape Seed Extract can also help promote cardiovascular health via a number of novel mechanisms.

Celery Seed Extract (85% 3-N-Butylphthalide)

Another proven ingredient to help hypertension. In the research conducted at the University of Chicago Medical Center, the compound identified as the active is 3-N-Butylphthalide (3nB). 3nB lowers blood pressure by acting as both a diuretic and vasodilator by impacting the production of prostaglandins, as well as acting in a similar manner to calcium-channel blockers. It
has also been shown to help lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce plaque formation in the arteries.
