A Bigger, Stronger Bitter
- Supports liver function with bitters like Gentian, Dandelion, and Solidago which aid in healthy bile flow and fluidity.*
- Helps in upregulating Nrf2, an important antioxidant pathway, critical in optimal detoxification.*
Active Ingredients:
Dandelion
Dandelion has been shown to support detoxification by upregulating antioxidant pathways, aiding in healthy kidney function to enhance urinary elimination of toxins, and having hepatoprotective properties. This bitter herb has also been shown to support a balanced inflammatory response, another critical aspect of optimal detoxification.
Milk thistle
Milk Thistle is a traditional Western herb that contains a powerful bioactive compound called Silymarin. In addition to supporting a healthy liver and bile flow, silymarin has been shown to support phase II detoxification by activating the Nrf2 pathway, promoting glutathione production.*
Gentian
Gentian is a full-bodied bitter botanical, containing the bioactive compounds gentiopicroside and gentiolactone. These compounds have been shown to be hepatoprotective in endotoxicity, supporting healthy bile flow, and upregulating antioxidant enzyme activity.
Solidago
Solidago, a flowering plant with tiny, bright yellow blossoms, is known for supporting urinary tract health. It aids in healthy excretion and toxin elimination while supporting the activity of glutathione S-transferase, a critical enzyme in phase II detoxification. The bioactive polyphenols in Solidago have also been shown to offer antimicrobial benefits.
Myrrh Essential Oil
The essential oil of myrrh, a resinous substance derived from the Commiphora mukul tree, supports healthy bile flow by increasing the expression of the human bile salt export pump and promotes a healthy microbial balance.
