- Contains a blend of 7 herbs to support healthy liver and kidney function and improve the body's ability to detoxify.
- Silybum marianum, cynara scolymus and picrorhiza kurroam have been shown to protect the liver and improve gallbladder function
- Silybum marianum is standardized to 80% silymarin and picrorhiza kurroam is standardized to 4% kutkins for greater potency and improved effectiveness.
- Urticaria dioica, arctostaphylos uva-ursi and arctium lappa are included for their diuretic properties and to promote healthy renal clearance
- Beta vulgaris is also added to the formula to upregulate nitric oxide production and improve blood circulation in the body.
The human body is regularly taxed with pollutants, pesticides, allergens and other exogenous toxins. Although our detoxification systems are adept at working together to ensure that these compounds are excreted from the body as quickly as possible, they can often be overwhelmed and need support. Although eliminating exposure to toxins is integral to overall success, optimal liver and kidney function must be supported. Fortunately, various plant extracts have been shown to positively regulate the function of these crucial detoxification organs.
Silybum marianum is undoubtedly the best-known liver-protecting herb. Human clinical trials have shown that milk thistle extract can normalize liver enzymes in infectious hepatitis or toxin damage and increase endogenous glutathione production. SIlybum marianum has also been shown to improve fasting blood sugar, insulin levels, HbA1c and body mass index (BMI) in people with diabetes and may help reduce inflammation in the lining of the digestive tract.
Lesser-known hepatoprotective herbs include Cynara scolymus and Picrorhiza kurroam. Cynara scolymus is able to increase bile secretions and reduce bloating, abdominal pain, flatulence and nausea in people suffering from dyspepsia and IBS. Research also supports its ability to lower triglycerides, reduce LDL cholesterol, and improve liver enzymes in people with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Picrorhiza kurroam, on the other hand, has antiviral properties. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with acute viral hepatitis showed that two weeks of supplementation resulted in a significant decrease in bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT values compared to placebo.
When it comes to promoting healthy renal clearance, Urticaria dioica, arctostaphylos uva-ursi, and Arctium lappa are all effective diuretics, but each herb also has unique complementary actions. For example, dioic urticaria can improve urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and also decrease fasting blood sugar and HbA1c in type 2 diabetics. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi exerts astringent, softening and antiseptic effects on the urinary tract membranes and, therefore, also protects against urinary tract infections. Finally, Arctium lappa has been shown to decrease elevated transaminase and restore glutathione levels in animal livers.
Collectively, these herbs are standardized to active ingredients, where applicable, and included in Cyto-Matrix's DT-Matrix to support both healthy liver and kidney detoxification. Beta vulgaris is also added to the formula to upregulate nitric oxide production and improve blood flow in the body, another important step in optimal detoxification pathways. DT-Matrix is indicated to support optimal liver and kidney function or for symptoms of excessive toxic burden such as lack of energy, headaches, malaise, constipation, and poor cognition.
