The liver is the second largest organ in the body and is the primary detoxification organ, via metabolism of drugs, alcohol and toxins. The liver participates in functions with the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, endocrine and excretory systems. It is also responsible for 25% of the body’s metabolism and approximately 90% of alcohol metabolism.
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) - A type of phospholipid, it plays an important role in overall liver health & function. It is said to be essential for the detoxification functions of the liver. PC is necessary for healthy cholesterol and lipid (fat) metabolism and also plays a role in their transport. It is also the major delivery form of choline.
Choline - A component of phosphatidylcholine, it plays a role in lipid (fat) and cholesterol metabolism and transport. Some animal studies have suggested deficiency of choline is linked with fatty liver and liver damage.
Zinc - As a component of various enzymes, zinc helps maintain structural integrity of proteins and regulate gene expression. Over 300 enzymes are known to require zinc to modulate their activity, including alcohol dehydrogenase, which functions in alcohol metabolism.
As an antioxidant, zinc plays an important role in defence against free radicals and DNA damage repair. Zinc also assists in metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
Chromium - It provides support for healthy glucose metabolism and helps the body to metabolise carbohydrates and fats in healthy individuals.

Wholefood is food eaten in or as near as possible to its natural state, with the minimum processing or cooking. Due to minimum processing or cooking, phytochemicals in wholefood are preserved. Scientists have identified thousands of phytochemicals in plants, widely known examples of phytonutrients are the carotenoids, flavonoids, polyphenols, chlorophyll, indoles, lignans, terpenes, and isoflavones. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring bioactive plant molecules or chemicals produced by plants to protect the plant from the elements of the earth, insect invasion and the solar radiation. They are found in fresh fruits and vegetables. The pytochemicals in the phytonutrients provide food resources for the cells in your body. Consumption of phytonutrients by humans is believed to protect our body from premature aging process and reduce the risk of many diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cataracts, osteoporosis, diabetes and urinary tract infectio Examples of foods rich in phytonutrients include:...

Fish oil is a source of the omega-3 essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are incorporated into every cell membrane in the body, in the form of compounds called phospholipids. Cell membranes play the vital role of regulating what goes into, and what comes out of each cell. The integrity and fluidity of the cell membrane is determined by the type of phospholipid that is available for the body to use. Cell membranes made up mainly of phospholipids derived from the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids are more fluid and function better than cell membranes made up of saturated fat or trans- fatty acids. A cell membrane working at optimal levels retains vital nutrients and electrolytes, has the ability to communicate with other cells and is responsive to hormones. Omega-3 fatty acids are also important components of substances known as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Prostaglandins and leukotrienes are important in immune function,...

Vitamins and minerals are involved in many biochemical processes in the body and as such have a part to play in the health of nearly every organ in the body. Siberian ginseng has been shown to improve physical and mental responses particularly where there is fatigue and low energy. It can help to restore and strengthen the immune response. Iodine is important for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland as it is an essential nutrient required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones affect almost every cell in the body and regulate oxygen use, metabolic rate and cellular metabolism. Chromium, an essential nutrient for sugar metabolism, works closely with insulin to facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells. Physical activity and a diet high in refined sugars can increase the loss of chromium from the body. The B group vitamins play an essential role in the metabolic processes...
