Adrenplus-300 supplies a combination of vitamins and minerals needed to maintain good health, plus adrenal and spleen glandular concentrate. The adrenal glands are endocrine glands located above the kidneys that are responsible for producing mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids and androgens, as well as adrenaline and noradrenaline. The spleen is located in the upper-left abdomen and is primarily responsible for filtering blood.

As co-enzymes, B vitamins are essential components in most major metabolic reactions. They play an important role in energy production, including the metabolism of nutrients. B vitamins folate and B12 are also necessary for blood cell formation.

Zinc is an essential trace element required for the activity of over 300 enzymes and is involved in most major metabolic pathways. Vitamin A plays a critical role in maintaining eyesight and night vision through its role in the formation of the retinal pigment rhodopsin. Both zinc and vitamin A help maintain skin and immune health.

Adrenplus-300 also provides vitamin C, an important water-soluble antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage. The adrenal glands contain some of the highest vitamin C levels in the body, and may require the antioxidant vitamin to quench free radicals produced during steroidogenesis.

Douglas Chromium-GTF is a trace element supplement that contains chromium bound to nicotinic acid (chromium poly-nicotinate). Each capsule provides 200 mcg of chromium in its non-toxic trivalent form. Once in the body, the biologically active form of chromium is also referred to as glucose tolerance factor (GTF) as chromium provides support for healthy glucose metabolism. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, it is suggested that chromium interacts with the amino acids glycine, cysteine, glutamate, and aspartic acid in the form of low-molecular-weight chromium (LMWCr) binding substance, which then attaches to insulin receptors in the body when there is a spike of insulin in the body.

Chromium is generally accepted as an essential trace mineral that potentiates insulin action and thus influences carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Chromium absorption is typically less than 2% efficient and variable depending on its form. Studies have demonstrated that chromium from Chromium-GTF has a higher bioavailability than other chromium compounds, such as chromium picolinate or chloride. Furthermore, tissues retained anywhere from 2 to 8 times more chromium from Chromium-GTF compared to other sources.

• Provides support for healthy glucose metabolism 

Each veg-capsule contains:
Medicinal ingredient:
Chromium (chromium poly-nicotinate) 200 mcg.

Douglas Opti-Zinc 30 capsules supply zinc monomethionine, a patented organic compound that combines zinc and the amino acid methionine to increase the bioavailability of zinc. Human and animal studies show that zinc monomethionine, as supplied by Opti-Zinc 30, is absorbed and retained better than many other forms of zinc. Zinc is an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways. General signs of human zinc deficiency indicate that zinc has important functions in maintaining immune function, healthy skin and growth. Numerous studies support the fundamental role of zinc for normal immune response in humans. Immune cells must be able to rapidly divide in order to respond to daily challenges. Like all rapidly dividing cells, immune cells depend on adequate amounts of dietary zinc. Similarly, zinc is required to maintain healthy skin as a component of matrix metalloproteinases. These enzymes break down matrix proteins, including collagen and elastin, which helps in skin remodeling and repair.

Douglas Estro-Mend is a soy-free blend of herbs used in herbal medicine that helps ease nervous tension while relieving pain associated with menstruation and symptoms associated with menopause.

A complex interaction of hormones regulates menstruation. Imbalances of hormones, including estrogen, can result in menstrual pain and premenstrual symptoms, which often include changes in mood, energy, attention, appetite, sleep, physical comfort (breast tenderness, bloating) and quality of life. Phytoestrogens, including black cohosh, mimic the functions of estrogens without proliferative actions and help relieve menstrual pain and premenstrual symptoms. Significantly less estrogen is produced in the period before menopause. Hormonal fluctuations during this time can result in common menopausal symptoms, including hot flushes and vaginal dryness. Phytoestrogens also support and minimize the changes and symptoms that are sometimes experienced during menopause. Studies have found that black cohosh helps relieve menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, excessive sweating, insomnia, and vaginal atrophy. As menopause may result in sleep disruption, Estro-Mend also contains hops, which can relieve nervousness and aid sleep.

• Used in herbal medicine to help relieve premenstrual symptoms and pain associated with menstruation and helps to relieve symptoms associated with menopause

Vitamin K2 supplies a significant amount of biologically active vitamin K in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Beyond blood clotting, the role of vitamin K in osteoporosis is related to calcium utilization. Scientific studies have revealed that vitamin K is required for the carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein secreted by osteoblasts that regulates calcification and bone mineral maturation. Thus, vitamin K plays a crucial role in building and maintaining strong bones. Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) is more bioactive and has proven more effective than vitamin K1 and other menaquinones. MK-7 showed eight times the half-life of vitamin K1 in a 24-hour serum concentration. Therefore, MK-7 can be administered in low dosages only once a day, typically 1/1000 of a MK-4 dose. Furthermore, the study showed better utilization and improved osteocalcin carboxylation for MK-7 after 6 weeks. Numerous studies reveal long-chain menaquinones, such as MK-7, are more effective in supporting arterial health than vitamin K1 menaquinones. Douglas Labs' Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) is derived from geraniol and farnesol. Geraniol is the primary part of rose, palmarosa and citronella oils. Farnesol is also present in many essential oils such as citronella, lemon grass, rose and musk. This natural form of MK-7 has been extensively tested for molecular identity and bioequivalence when compared to MK-7 from fermented soybeans (natto). It is the all-trans form, thus providing a significantly higher purity of the only biologically active form.

Douglas Sereniten Plus contains milk protein hydrolysate, which temporarily helps reduce symptoms of mild mental and physical stress. The milk protein hydrolysate, in the form of Lactium, contains a bioactive decapeptide that has been clinically studied for reducing stress. During times of physical or mental stress, cortisol levels in the body rise as a defensive mechanism to protect the body. Although this is an adaptive mechanism, prolonged secretion of cortisol can have negative impacts on proper functioning, including reduced immune function and poor digestion. In participants subject to induced stress, one randomized control study found that alpha S1-casein hydrolysate, the active peptide of Lactium, decreased plasma cortisol levels and lowered heart rate compared to controls. Another study found that alpha S1-casein hydrolysate also improved feelings of well-being and digestion among stressed women. Sereniten Plus also contains L-theanine and vitamin D. Vitamin D is a factor in sustaining good health and helps in the maintenance of bones and teeth.

• Helps temporarily reduce symptoms of mild mental and physical stress

Each veg-capsule contains:

Brain Calm is an effective blend of critical amino acids and herbs that promote relaxation and sleep. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Most neurotransmitters, such as acetylcholine and noradrenaline, promote a feeling of wakefulness and alertness, however GABA acts by blocking these –excitatory” neurotransmitters to promote relaxation in the brain. By promoting relaxation, GABA has been shown to help sleep irregularities such as the inability to fall asleep or waking during the night. Additionally, Brain Calm contains Passion flower, which is used traditionally in Herbal Medicine as a sleep aid, especially in times of restlessness or sleeplessness due to mental stress. Plant compounds of Passion flower exert effects in the brain by binding to GABA receptors, promoting a relaxation effect similar to GABA itself. By reducing feelings of anxiousness and stress, randomized control trials have found that Passion flower improves overall sleep quality.

• Temporarily promotes relaxation
• Passionflower is traditionally used in herbal medicine as a sleep aid

Each veg-capsule contains:
Medicinal Ingredients:
Inositol 500mg, GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) 100mg, passion¬ower (passiflora incarnata) aerial parts extract (6:1, 600mg dried equivalent) 100mg and l-glycine 50mg.

Non-Medicinal Ingredients:
Hypromellose (capsule), cellulose, magnesium stearate and silica.

Douglas Vita-Kids Immune provides important immune supportive nutrients for children in a great-tasting, natural grape-flavoured liquid. Free radicals are unstable compounds formed in the body during metabolism and from exposure to environmental sources such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals are necessary for energy metabolism and immune function, but when an excessive number of free radicals are formed, they can attack healthy cells, especially their membrane lipids and proteins. This, in turn, is thought to affect a number of body processes, including optimal functioning of the immune system. Elderberry and blueberry extracts provide anthocyanins, important antioxidants that protect healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of beta-carotene for normal immune function. The immune benefits of beta-carotene are due to its role as a precursor to vitamin A, which stimulates the production of immune cells. Zinc is an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways. Numerous studies also support the fundamental role of zinc in promoting normal immune responses in humans. Immune cells must be able to rapidly divide in order to respond to daily challenges, and they depend on adequate amounts of dietary zinc to promote their development. Healthy immune function can also be maintained by supporting a well balanced production of cytokines. However, low levels of zinc lead to decreased immune responses, including the production of fewer cytokines that target intracellular bacteria.

• Helps to maintain immune function

Each teaspoon contains:
Medicinal Ingredients:
Beta-carotene (from blakeslea trispora) 1500mcg (2500IU/UI), zinc (zinc gluconate) 3mg, blueberry (vaccinium corymbosum) Fruit 150mg, European elder (sambucus nigra) fruit (16:1) (1.6 g dried equivalent) 100mg and Japanese honeysuckle (lonicera japonica) Flower 30mg.

Douglas DIM Enhanced is a microencapsulated form of diindolylmethane (DIM) designed to promote healthy estrogen balance. Standardized curcumin and green tea extracts are also included alongside wasabia.

Healthy hormone detoxification is a crucial part of the normal functioning of organs, including the breast. DIM is known to help stimulate natural detoxification enzymes and support healthy estrogen metabolism. As a natural component derived from indole-3-carbinole and cruciferous vegetables, DIM has been shown in clinical research to favour the production of the estrogen metabolite 2-hydroxyestrone over the more deleterious 16-hydroxyestrone. DIM can also decrease the severity and duration of recurrent breast pain and promote antioxidant support. Microencapsulated DIM by BioResponse is a patented, absorption-enhancing formulation to ensure proper assimilation by the body. It is the only DIM with proven absorption and activity demonstrated in independently performed clinical studies.

Polyphenols in green tea, specifically the catechins, provide the primary health promoting benefits associated with green tea consumption. Catechins, most notably epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), are effective antioxidants and decrease harmful oxidative damage. Studies have shown that curcuminoids, naturally occurring bioactive compounds from turmeric, also scavenge free radicals by providing antioxidants. Since curcumin exhibits poor absorption when consumed orally, DIMÂ Enhanced contains a highly bioavailable curcumin that has up to a 20-fold improvement in bioavailability versus the standard 95% curcumin extracts.

Wasabia japonica (a member of the cruciferous vegetable family) contains long chain isothiocyanates (ITCs), which are unique to wasabia.

Betaine Plus supplies the digestive enzymes betaine and pepsin in a convenient capsule form. Originally isolated from sugar beets, betaine can be found in a number of dietary sources including wheat, quinoa, and spinach. Betaine is a catabolic source of methyl groups, involved in numerous metabolic processes throughout the body. Chief cells in the stomach release pepsinogen where then hydrochloric acid acts as a catalyst in the activation of pepsin from pepsinogen. Pepsin is key in the process of converting protein obtained through the diet into peptides the body can digest to use for energy and structural building.

• Helps to support digestion and liver function

Prenatal provides a variety of essential vitamins and minerals to ensure adequate intake for both mother and child. This balanced prenatal formula is provided in easy to swallow vegetarian capsules and promotes maternal and fetal health during pregnancy and lactation. Prenatal contains Metafolin, a patented and natural form of L-methylfolate (5- MTHF). L-methylfolate is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells. It is essential for a developing fetus, and helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy. Unlike synthetic folic acid, L-methylfolate can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional enzymatic conversion. In certain populations, the body's ability to enzymatically convert folic acid to 5-MTHF may be compromised due to genetic differences. Metafolin contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and is the only form of folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier. Prenatal also contains important vitamins and minerals that help support energy production, antioxidant defence, skin and healthy glucose metabolism, as well as immune, muscle and thyroid gland function.

Acetyl-L-carnitine, a naturally occurring metabolite of L-carnitine, plays a key role in supporting cognitive function during aging while helping to reduce fatigue. In most tissues of the body, both L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine are involved in fatty acid oxidation. L-carnitine shuttles fatty acids from the cytosol (the cell fluid) into the mitochondria (the cell's powerhouses) for oxidation and energy production. In the brain, acetyl-L-carnitine specifically acts on fatty acid oxidation in astrocytes and neurons to produce energy. The compound exerts its cognitive protective effects through three main actions. Acetyl-L-Carnitine protects tissues against oxidative stress while producing energy and influences the activity of nerve growth factor (NGF), the neuropeptide responsible for the growth, maintenance, and survival of certain neurons. It has also been shown that acetyl-L-carnitine can help to maintain cellular membrane stability and to restore age-related membranal changes.

• Supports cognitive function and brain function

Testo-Plus is a unique mixture of herbs, including Siberian and Panax ginseng, that provide support for mental and physical performance after stress. Research has found that stress may lower testosterone levels in both men and women in a variety of ways: 1. Stress increases oxidative damage, which decreases the production of steroid hormones. 2. The stress hormone cortisol prevents testosterone secretion. 3. Stress inhibits the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), decreasing the production of luteinizing hormone (the hormone responsible for testosterone production in the testis). 4. Stress decreases blood flow to the testicles, which lowers testosterone levels. 5. Stress negatively affects norepinephrine, which is involved in the production of LHRH in both men and women as well as testosterone synthesis in males. Siberian ginseng improves mental and physical performance after exertion by regulating the signalling of hormones involved in stress responses, including cortisol and norepinephrine. This promotes proper hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, which controls various homeostatic processes in the body. Similarly, panax ginseng supports the body’s response to stress and fatigue. It is also a supportive therapy for the promotion of healthy glucose levels. Ginseng’s actions in the body are thought to be due to a complex interplay of constituents, including ginsenosides.

Ultra Preventive X provides next-generation essential nutrition in a phytonutrient-rich organic fruit and vegetable base. Ultra Preventive X now provides Metafolin, a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as well as 500IU of vitamin D3 and 125mcg of methylcobalamin per day. 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells. It is essential for overall health as it participates as a cofactor in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for additional enzymatic conversion. In certain populations, the body's ability to enzymatically convert folic acid to 5-MTHF may be compromised due to genetic differences. Additional vitamin D3 and methylcobalamin (the active form of vitamin B12) have been added to this formula to help maintain bone health and support energy production. Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, and B-complex vitamins are also included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in immune function, antioxidant protection, the maintenance of healthy blood cells, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms. Ultra Preventive X has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other ingredients. Each component is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients and allergenic potential.

• Optimize vitamin, mineral and trace element intake with a green food base
• Source of vitamins and minerals, factors in the maintenance of good health

Douglas Methyl Folate supplies 1000mcg of biologically active folate per tablet from Metafolin, a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). In certain populations, the body's ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences.

Metafolin contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Folate is a water-soluble essential B vitamin found in many foods, including leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, and beans. Research has established that supplementation with folate before and during the first two months of pregnancy can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Additionally, folate plays a key role in red blood cell production and the formation of methionine.

• Helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily at least three months prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy
• Helps to form red blood cells

Each tablet contains:
Medicinal ingredient:
Folate (calcium l-5 methyltetrahydrofolate, Metafolin) 1000mcg.

Douglas ProgestoMend is a combination of plant extracts, including chaste berry, specifically designed to help relieve premenstrual and menopausal symptoms. Chasteberry extract (Vitex agnus-castus) contains active constituents that play a role in hormone activity, including dopaminergic compounds that suppress the release of prolactin. This herb also acts on the pituitary gland to stimulate the release of luteinizing hormone, which results in increased progesterone levels. By balancing prolactin and progesterone levels, two important hormones involved in the menstrual cycle, chaste berry helps to restore menstrual regularity. Decreasing prolactin levels can also help to relieve premenstrual symptoms, which commonly include mood, headache, bloating, and breast fullness. By inhibiting prolactin synthesis, regulating the health of progesterone producing glands and mediating the function of progesterone responsive tissues, chaste berry also helps relieve symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flushes. As premenstrual and menopausal symptoms may impact sleep, passionflower is included for its traditional use in Herbal Medicine as a sleep aid. ProgestoMend contains additional herbs used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, including forskolin, crampbark, Di Huang and white peony.

• Used in Herbal Medicine as a hormone normalizer to help stabilize menstrual cycle irregularities

Douglas Ascorbplex 1000 Buffered is a high potency vitamin C supplement specially buffered with calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which help to minimize stomach irritation associated with the acidity of many vitamin C preparations. Ascorbplex 1000 Buffered also contains bioflavonoids, which have been shown to increase the bioavailability of vitamin C in supplemental form compared to vitamin C taken alone.

Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants in humans. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that can react directly with superoxide and hydroxyl radicals to decrease potential damage to cells within the body. In addition, vitamin C interacts with glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid, and can regenerate the antioxidant potential of vitamin E. Vitamin C helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums. In bone, Vitamin C helps form collagen in the bone matrix while scavenging free radicals that can be detrimental to bones. Vitamin C supplementation has been associated with increased bone mineral density and lower fracture probabilities in adults.

Vitamin C is also essential in the formation of connective tissue and aids in wound healing by decreasing proinflammatory responses and medicating proliferative and remodeling stages in the healing process.

Douglas Ultrazyme was specifically formulated with bile and active digestive enzymes that assist in fat, protein and carbohydrate digestion in the stomach and small intestine. Although fat digestion starts in the mouth with salivary lipase, most triglycerides are digested by pancreatic lipase. Pancreatic lipase cleaves triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids, which are efficiently absorbed in the upper small intestine. Similarly, pancreatic amylase is the major carbohydrate-digesting enzyme. It breaks down starches into maltose and maltotriose, which are further hydrolyzed into glucose by the disaccharidases of the mucosal cells, and then absorbed. Protein digestion is initiated in the stomach by pepsin and hydrochloric acid, which denature and divide large proteins into smaller polypeptides. The pancreatic proteases, trypsin and chymotrypsin, break down these polypeptides into free amino acids, and di- or tri-peptides, which are directly absorbed by the intestinal mucosa. Bromelain is also included to assist in the breakdown of macromolecule protein complexes. This reduces the chance that these complexes will leave the stomach untouched or in large fractions, and helps in their absorption.

• Aids digestion by providing digestive enzymes further increasing nutrient bioavailability while minimizing antibody responses in the digestive tract

Each tablet contains:
Medicinal Ingredients:
Pancreatic enzymes (from pancreas of) (yielding: lipase 1000USP, amylase 12500USP, protease 12500USP) 62.5mg, ox bile 50mg, l-lysine 40mg, pepsin (from stomach of) 33mg, stem bromelain 25mg and cellulase 3mg.

Niacin can be obtained from niacinamide, an amide of niacin that is typically well tolerated and not associated with causing a –flushing” reaction.

Niacin occurs in the body as two metabolically active coenzymes, NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (NAD phosphate). Niacin has pervasive roles in energy-related and biosynthetic metabolic processes. At least 200 enzymes depend on these niacin cofactors. The NAD-dependent enzymes are involved in mostly catabolic, oxidative reactions that release energy from carbohydrate, fat and protein, whereas the NADP-dependent enzymes more commonly function in biosynthetic pathways of compounds such as fatty acids.

• Helps to prevent niacia deficiency
• Helps to maintain body's abiliy to metaboliz nutrients
• Helps in energy metabolism

Each capsule contains:
Medicinal ingredient:
Niacinamide 500mg.

Non-Medicinal Ingredients:

The adrenal glands are located above the kidneys and release hormones that help the body respond to stress. AdrenoMend is designed to promote optimal function of the various homeostasis regulatory systems that work with the adrenal glands to maintain physiological function during both acute and chronic stress. This formulation includes a combination of ten highly valued herbal extracts. Schisandra is used in Herbal Medicine as an adaptogen to help increase energy and resistance to stress. Along with Eleuthero, it helps support mental performance and physical working capacity, and helps promote the balanced response of the sympatho-adrenal-system (SAS) to the body’s acute reaction to a stressor. Similarly, Panax is used in Herbal Medicine to help reduce mental fatigue and enhance physical capacity. It is also used as a supportive therapy for the promotion of healthy glucose levels as it mediates the stress induced elevations of catecholamines and adrenaline-induced hyperglycemia. To provide additional cognitive support, Ashwagandha and Bacopa are included for their traditional use in Ayurveda for memory enhancement. Ashwagandha is also traditionally used in Ayurveda as a rejuvenative tonic, sedative and sleep aid.

• To help relieve general physical debility and support cognitive function during times of stress

Adults: Take 2 capsules two times daily one half hour before meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 30 days.

Douglas Melatonin sublingual tablets each contain 3mg of high-purity melatonin. Purity and potency of each batch of Melatonin tablets are verified by an independent, certified analytical laboratory.

Melatonin is a hormone synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan by the pineal gland in the brain. The perception of daylight in the eyes is a signal for the pineal gland to inhibit melatonin synthesis and release. At night or in a dark environment, the body’s melatonin production rises, which is thought to be responsible for promoting sleep. Therefore, most of the research on melatonin has focused on its role in maintaining normal sleep/wake rhythms. Research has shown that melatonin supplementation helps reset the body’s sleep-wake cycle, an aspect of the circadian rhythm. It helps reduce the time it takes to fall asleep (sleep onset latency) in people with delayed sleep phase disorder, who often experience difficulty falling asleep at desired or conventional times. Melatonin also increases the total sleep time in people suffering from sleep restriction or altered sleep schedule, including shift-work and jet lag, and helps to relieve the daytime fatigue associated with jet lag. Nocturnal melatonin production is highest in children and begins to decline from adolescence until it is virtually absent in the elderly. This sublingual tablet will rapidly dissolve when placed under the tongue and the bisect tablet allows for easy dosing modifications.

LVDTX is a comprehensive blend of synergistic nutrients that support the health of the liver, an organ involved in detoxifying the blood, metabolizing fat and storing vitamins. Choline acts as an important methyl donor in numerous metabolic reactions. It is considered an essential nutrient needed for cell membrane integrity and to facilitate the movement of fats into and out of cells.

Choline is also a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is required for normal brain function. Choline is available as choline bitartrate (a soluble salt) or as phosphatidyl-choline in lecithin. Inositol has similar properties to choline in its lipotropic effect and is found in most cell membranes. Methionine is critical for hepatic intracellular concentrations of glutathione. Glutathione and other sulfhydryl peptides are essential in the detoxification of xenobiotic substances and in converting lipid soluble toxic agents to water soluble material for easy excretion via the kidneys. Betaine not only protects the liver from damage due to excess homocysteine, it also generates adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is the universal methyl donor. Turmeric contains curcumin, a naturally occurring biologically active group of compounds. Studies have shown that curcumin can function as efficient antioxidants and can help regulate the body's normal response to inflammatory processes. Turmeric, along with dandelion, milk thistle and artichoke, is traditionally used in herbal medicine.
