How It Works

Red Beet

Red beet root, also referred to as just "red beet", has traditionally been used to promote glandular and liver health. Beets contain dietary fiber which enhances digestion, promotes the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria, and supports bowel regularity. Beets are also a rich source of dietary nitrates that support vascular health. Other vital nutrients found in beets include B-vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, chromium, magnesium, potassium and zinc, just to name a few. Plus, beets contain powerful antioxidant nutrients called betalains which have been proven to combat oxidative stress and help prevent DNA damage. Beets have numerous health benefits, including enhancing cognitive function, supporting blood pressure and blood sugar regulation, improving exercise performance, supporting immune function, and providing protective effects on the liver and kidneys.

Dandelion

Dandelion supports the digestive system and is reported to have tonic effects on the liver and gallbladder. Dandelion has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years to nourish and support the kidneys, liver and gallbladder. Dandelion contains polysaccharides that may support liver function and help detoxify the liver. Animal studies show that antioxidants found in dandelion root (including caffeic acid and luteolin) help protect the liver and may also support healthy cholesterol levels.

Parsley

Centuries of folk use teach us that parsley was employed for urinary and kidney support, detoxification, and more. Parsley is a rich source of nutrients, including numerous vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and antioxidants. For example, parsley contains vitamins A and C which are essential for healthy immune system function. Parsley also contains potassium, which helps balance sodium levels, and manganese, which helps manage calcium levels and nourishes the nervous system. Plus, parsley contains apigenin, a powerful antioxidant that prevents cellular damage and promotes a healthy inflammatory response. Research indicates that parsley may help reduce liver toxicity and help protect the kidneys.

Yellow Dock

Yellow dock supports liver and gallbladder function and nourishes the urinary system. Yellow dock also provides mild colon stimulating activity and astringent properties to keep your bowels functioning properly. Yellow dock root is a rich source of bioavailable iron and is frequently used in Western herbal medicine as a blood-building tonic to promote healthy iron levels and support the circulatory system.

Black Cohosh

Black cohosh has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years to promote general health and overall wellness. Black cohosh was also widely used by Americans in the 1800s for joint health. Black cohosh supports the body's effort to balance hormone levels and help ease nervous tension. Black cohosh is also known to offer benefits for the musculoskeletal system, providing antispasmodic properties to help relax cramping muscles and muscle spasms.

Blessed Thistle

Blessed thistle improves digestion and assists liver function. Blessed thistle helps stimulate secretions of gastric juices and saliva, as well as the flow of bile. It may also help reduce digestive discomfort and bloating after meals. Blessed thistle nourishes the liver, which assists the digestive process by secreting bile to help break down fat.

Angelica

Angelica root has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine. In Europe and Russia, where angelica grows wild, it is used for circulation problems and digestive and intestinal complaints. Angelica root is also said to help with sluggish liver function. Research shows that angelica provides antioxidant protection which may be responsible for some of the herb's health benefits. Use of angelica goes back to the Middle Ages. According to folklore, angelica root got its name when an angel showed this plant to a monk for use against the plague.

Chamomile

Chamomile is one of the oldest, most widely used and well documented medicinal plants in the world. It enjoys a variety of natural healing benefits. Chamomile stimulates and supports digestive function. Chamomile's nervine qualities help the body cope with physical tension and relax the muscles that move food through the intestines. Chamomile has been used traditionally for minor gastrointestinal complaints, including upset stomach, gas, indigestion, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.

Gentian Root

Gentian root is known for its bitter taste and has been used traditionally to support the digestive system. Gentian root has been used in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. Europeans knew the benefits of gentian as a digestive tonic. During the Middle Ages, gentian was used to promote appetite and relieve stomach upset, nausea and gas. Gentian root stimulates the release of digestive fluids and bile. Gentian is also said to support liver and gallbladder functions and aid detoxification.

Goldenrod

Goldenrod has been used traditionally for various urinary tract conditions and to promote urine flow. Historical uses of goldenrod, dating back at least to the 13th century in Europe, include kidney problems, urinary tract irritation, frequent urination, and prostate concerns. Goldenrod has also been used to support liver health. Goldenrod contains compounds such as flavonoids and saponins that promote a healthy inflammatory response and provide antioxidant protection.
