Amino-D-Tox

- Helps support liver function
Amino-D-Tox™ is a synergistic formula developed to promote healthy phase II detoxification of the liver. The environment we live in is increasingly toxic. This overload on the body, induced by various toxic substances in the environment, i.e. pesticides, herbicides, chemical solvents, xenobiotics and industrial chemicals of all kinds reach us through our food, our water, the air we breathe as well as transgenerational inheritance via alteration of the epigenome10. In addition, toxins produced by our own metabolism add to this overload as do toxins present in the intestinal tract, particularly when there is an imbalance in the intestinal microbial ecology.
This large toxic load greatly increases the work of the liver in its detoxification function, which ensures the transformation of these chemicals into harmless molecules, the latter having the potential to produce excessive oxidative stress on the body and thus cause, over time, chronic diseases. The end result: fatigue, lethargy, headaches, multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), skin problems, chronic fatigue, neuromuscular disorders and many others.
Amino-D-Tox™ was developed to upregulate phase II detoxification. This formula is free of plants, minerals and B vitamins since these would also upregulate phase I detoxification.
Amino-D-Tox™ promotes phase II detoxification of the liver and thus ensures that this important physiological function of biotransformation can occur optimally. This is particularly relevant for people with chemical hypersensitivity; they should, in fact, consider supplementation with Amino-D-Tox™ to help positively regulate these metabolic pathways before considering a more comprehensive detoxification protocol.
Phase II detoxification requires amino acids, sulfur (sulfur-containing amino acids), and glutathione. Methionine, cysteine, and taurine are the three most common sulfur-containing amino acids. MSM also provides sulfur just like glutathione (made up of the assembly of 3 amino acids).
