Protect, Detoxify, and Repair Your Liver
Optimal Health Begins with the Liver
The liver is one of your body’s hardest working organs, and your well-being depends on it working at its best, every day. When the liver is healthy, it can effectively counter many threats, including poor diets, environmental toxins, overconsumption of alcohol, and the use of common over-the-counter drugs.
But over time, those challenges can add up, so your liver needs nutrients to restore its strength. Three botanicals-Milk Thistle, Andrographis, and Grape Seed Extract—are up to the task. They can prevent and reverse liver damage and support your health in remarkable ways:
*Protect Against Liver Damage
*Detoxify and Restore Liver Function
*Enhance Nutrient Absorption and Normalize Blood Sugar
A Healthy Liver Helps You Live Longer
Your liver needs the right nutrients to function properly. Restoring liver health can be a challenge, but with the powerful detoxifying and healing power of Milk Thistle, Andrographis, and tannin-free French Grape Seed Extract, you can stop—and reverse—liver damage and live a longer and healthier life. All in one convenient capsule.

Feeling Exhausted? Recharge with Adaptogens!
Chronic stress—mental or physical—harms you in many ways. It zaps your energy. It prematurely ages you. It weakens your immune system. It makes you feel fatigued and depleted.
Adaptogens—herbs that boost your resistance to mental and physical stresses—boost your energy levels when you need it, and help normalize your body’s systems. They can help you adapt and thrive, no matter what your circumstances.
Ashwagandha and rhodiola are two of the best adaptogens available. These amazing botanicals:
*Recharge mental and physical energy
*Stop the damaging effects of chronic stress
*Regulate cortisol levels
*Boost physical endurance
*Prevent insomnia
*Shorten recovery time
*Improve sexual performance
An Amazing Combination to Beat the Effects of Stress and Feel Energized
When taken separately, ashwagandha and rhodiola can drastically improve your daily energy levels and resistance to stress. When taken together, these two adaptogens work synergistically to help you face the most challenging circumstances. The unique abilities of clinically validated ashwagandha and rhodiola allow them to calm you in stressful situations and energize you when you need it most. Alone, they are powerful, but together, they are unbeatable. We have both adaptogens together in one formula. Give it a try!

Quercetin & Vitamin C—Two Powerful Nutrients for Immune Support
A strong immune system is of critical—and potentially life-saving—importance. With that in mind, there are two nutrients used in combination that I believe should be a part of everyone’s regimen: Quercetin and Vitamin C. Together, they defend you in many ways:
*Prevent and fight viral infections
*Keep lungs and sinuses clear
*Reduce allergic reactions and histamine levels
*Stop inflammation and oxidative damage
Quercetin and vitamin c have incredible potential to stop viruses, bacteria, allergic reactions, and bronchial inflammation. They should be part of everyone’s daily immune-strengthening regimen.
WIDE SPECTRUM IMMUNE SUPPORT
A healthy and responsive immune defense depends on many things: restorative sleep, proper diet, and low stress levels. But it can be easily strengthened with convenient and consistent levels of daily nutrients. I think a combination of Quercetin and Vitamin C is the best. Consider adding them to your regimen today, and keep your immune system well-nourished for the days ahead. Both nutrients are conveniently in one capsule.

Five Minutes for Daily Peace
Tuning into the daily news cycle can feel like stepping onto a fast-moving carousel of chaos, overwhelming the senses and elevating stress levels. The barrage of headlines, each more urgent and anxiety-inducing than the last, can send the mind whirling in endless circles. To help, we offer a suggestion the next time you need to create calm.
Take a moment to gently place your hand over your heart and take five deep breaths. This simple yet powerful practice, as emphasized by Dr. Mark Hyman, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you enter a state of relaxation. With each inhale, feel peace flow through your body; with each exhale, release tension and worry. This mindful exercise encourages the release of oxytocin, often called the “love hormone.” Not only does this remarkable hormone help reduce stress and anxiety, but it also promotes a deep sense of well-being and boosts our ability for empathy.
Make it a priority to include this practice in your daily routine – set a reminder if needed. You’ll be amazed at how such a small act can bring greater calm and happiness into your life, creating a positive shift in your overall mood and outlook.

Say Goodbye to Stuffy Noses
NASAL AND CHEST CONGESTION CAN BE THE BANE OF MANY PEOPLE’S EXISTENCE, ESPCIALLY DURING ALLERGY AND COLD AND FLU SEASON. But the good news is that we don’t have to reach for pharmaceutical nasal decongestants or antihistamines to get relief. Clearing stuffy noses and congested sinuses is possible with the help of specific phytonutrients and vitamins.
N-ACETYL-L-CYSTEINE (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant and precursor of gluthathione. It’s also a mucolytic, meaning it helps break down mucus, especially in the upper respiratory tract. By doing this, it makes it easier for the body to expel mucus naturally. If your congestion is from an allergy, QUERCETIN may offer relief. Found in apples and onions, this plant-based flavonoid has both anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties. It helps reduce the body’s histamine response, easing nasal swelling and mucus production. Quercetin is often taken alongside bromelain, an enzyme from pineapple that enhances absorption and has mucolytic effects.
VITAMIN C, ZINC AND PROBIOTICS top the list for supporting the immune system in clearing out mucus. They are all well-known for their immune-modulating capabilities and can help reduce the duration of severity of respiratory infections, which often cause congestion. As a bonus, VITAMIN C also has antihistamine effects.
Finally, PEPPERMINT OR ECUALYPTUS steam inhalations or used in a diffuser can be a game changer, providing immediate relief. The menthol in peppermint helps open nasal passages, while eucalyptus can ease breathing and acts as an antimicrobial. You can also try a neti pot and do saline rinses, which work well for some people. Of course, don’t forget to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to give your body the chance to clear the congestion.
