Pure Encapsulations (6)

Pure Encapsulations - NAC + Glycine Powder; Natural Peach Ginger Flavour Supports glutathione production, immune defence and detoxification Benefits: Restores and promotes glutathione synthesis Enhances immune & antioxidant defences Reduces oxidative stress Supports the body’s natural detoxification process Cysteine and glycine are both necessary precursors for glutathione (GSH) synthesis, and co-supplementation of these nutrients promotes intracellular glutathione levels. Glutathione is one of the main endogenous antioxidants, acting in the body to recycle other antioxidants and protect the body from free radicals, as well as support detoxification. It is found in virtually every cell of the body and plays a critical role in cell function. Increased glutathione levels have been linked to supporting a reduction in oxidative stress. Ingredients: Medicinal Ingredients (per scoop [approximately 5.3 g]):N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine | 1800 mgGlycine | 1800 mgNon-Medicinal Ingredients: Natural peach, mango, orange, and ginger flavours with other natural flavours, potassium citrate, tri-magnesium citrate, purified stevia leaf extracts. Dosing: Adults: Take 1 scoop daily, mixed well with 1 cup (250 mL) of water, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Take with a meal. Ensure to drink enough fluid before, during, and after exercise. Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 2 months. Product Notes: Though there has yet to be a health product licensed for sale in Canada using the 'GlyNAC' name featured in recent studies, you can now get an equivalent combination in a powdered form from Pure Encapsulations. If antioxidants were a league of super heroes, glutathione would be its Superman, for being able to help protect every single cell in the body (both on its own and by helping the other antioxidants get used more) from free radicals, in addition to supporting the immune system and combating the effects of aging in other ways, such as by assisting in nutrient metabolism, energy production, detoxification, and more. Unfortunately, our bodies don't generate nearly as much glutathione after the age of 45 or so, which leaves us more vulnerable. And while it can be taken as a supplement, it turns out it can be far more effective to furnish the body with the first two of its three main building blocks (glycine, L-cysteine, and L-glutamate) to enable it to be produced right within the cells from scratch, as needed, rather than transported into them whole - not only because the supplemental forms tend to be unstable and difficult to absorb, but also because too much glutathione can end up backfiring and lead to accelerated aging (due to a phenomenon known as reductive stress). That's where NAC + Glycine powder comes in. Studies have shown that a combination of those two precursors of GSH (Glycine and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) in a one-to-one ratio can significantly improve GSH deficiency, oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial impairment, inflammation, insulin resistance, physical strength, exercise capacity, and several other hallmarks of aging, in older adults -- without interfering with the delicate balance between the 'healthy' levels of oxidants that cells produce to improve their signaling and efficiency, and glutathione's ongoing efforts to reduce excessive levels within those cells.

Supports antioxidant defence and detoxification Supports function of the liver, an organ involved in detoxification Provides antioxidants that help protect cells against free radicals DIM & Detox offers support for antioxidant defence and the function of the liver, an organ essential to the body’s detoxification. BioResponse DIM® provides 25 mg per serving of a highly absorbable form of DIM, an important metabolite of indole-3-carbinol. DIM supports the expression of antioxidant and phase II detoxifying enzymes, which protect tissues from oxidative stress, toxins and reactive substances. Alpha lipoic acid and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) also provide antioxidants for cellular protection and act to support phase II detoxification enzyme activity in the liver. l-Methionine is an essential amino acid that supports glutathione production and encourages healthy liver function, including phase II detoxification pathways, healthy hepatic fat metabolism, and bile flow. The amino acid taurine is also present in liver cells as an important component of bile acids, which aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Medicinal Ingredients (per capsule): BioResponse DIM® (complex of starch, 3,3-diindolylmethane, vitamin E (tocophersolan), phosphatidylcholine, silica) ............. 50 mg (providing DIM (3,3-diindolylmethane) 12.5 mg) Calcium D-Glucarate .......................................... 50 mg Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) Sprout Extract............... 50 mg (20:1, 1000 mg dried equivalent; standardized to contain 200 mcg sulforaphane) HMR lignan 7-Hydroxymatairesinol Potassium Acetate..............5 mg DL-Alpha-Lipoic Acid......................................... 100 mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine ......................................... 100 mg Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) Seed Extract ..................... 75 mg (standardized to contain 80% silymarin) L-Methionine............................................... 100 mg Glycine..................................................... 50 mg Taurine..................................................... 50 mg.

Mushroom combination to promote antioxidant support Includes maitake, reishi and shiitake extracts Supports antioxidant defence M/R/S Mushroom Formula provides a dynamic combination of maitake, reishi and shiitake mushrooms to promote exceptional antioxidant support for the maintenance of daily wellness. There are over 100000 different mushroom species, only 10% of which have been identified and investigated by researchers. The common attributes consistent among these species appear to be the polyphenols and polysaccharides, constituents shown to provide high antioxidant support. In a preclinical study investigating the composition of a number of mushroom species, maitake, reishi, and shiitake were found to contain high levels of phenolic compounds and polysaccharides. Furthermore, these mushrooms were among the most supportive for enhancing antioxidant activity. M/R/S Mushroom Formula also provides vitamin C for additional antioxidant support. Medicinal Ingredients (per capsule): Maitake Mushroom (Grifola frondosa) Fruiting Body Extract ......................... 200 mg (4:1; 800 mg dried equivalent) Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) Fruiting Body Extract ......................... 200 mg (4:1; 800 mg dried equivalent) Shiitake Mushroom (Lentinus edodes) Fruiting Body Extract ......................... 200 mg (4:1; 800 mg dried equivalent) Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) .................... 3.4 mg Non-Medicinal Ingredients: Vegetarian capsule (hypromellose, water). Recommended Use: Helps in wound healing. An antioxidant for the maintenance of good health.
