Milk Thistle is an effective herb for detoxifying the liver by promoting the flow of bile and protecting hepatocytes. Designs for Health's Milk Thistle is standardized to 80% silymarin. Milk thistle may protect the liver from the normal and inevitable exposure to toxins. The inclusion of lecithin provides improved absorption and additional lipotrophic liver support. Made with non-GMO ingredients.
Opti-NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) is an amino acid that is a precursor to glutathione, the body’s most powerful antioxidant, and helps promote optimal detoxification. NAC is heavily researched for its role in optimizing lung health, and is also used for rapid recovery after workouts. It is also beneficial for protection against normal exposure to heavy metals. Made with non-GMO ingredients.
S-Acetyl Glutathione is an acetylated form of glutathione. This form is well-absorbed and more stable throughout the digestive tract than other forms on the market. Use of stomach acid-resistant capsules further protect stability. Laboratory data showed that S-acetyl glutathione increased intracellular glutathione and had a positive effect on many oxidative stress biomarkers.*

Berberine combines 400 mg of the plant alkaloid berberine (from Berberis aristata) for the primary purpose of supporting healthy blood sugar levels and enhancing insulin sensitivity. Additionally, berberine has been shown to exhibit antimicrobial properties. OTS Berberine is manufactured using a high bioavailability technology, which is an all-natural formulation that improves the absorption and delivery of berberine. This process uses a proprietary blend of MCT oils, non-soy derived lecithin, and vitamin E, without the use of potentially harmful surfactants.
For additional blood glucose support, ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) can be taken with Berberine!
Optimum ALA is a whole-body, multifunctional antioxidant that helps to maintain healthy, well-functioning cells. Optimum ALA is designed to neutralize free radicals. Optimum ALA has the ability to destroy free radicals in both the water-based and lipid-based portion of cells, making it the ideal whole-body antioxidant. In addition, Optimum ALA helps the body synthesize glutathione, the body’s own master detoxifier. Optimum ALA also “recharges” other important antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, and CoQ10, giving them the ability to continue fighting free radicals for extended periods of time. Unlike regular alpha-lipoic acid, Optimum ALA's patented, controlled-release formulation provides extended protection. In addition, biotin supports the function of alpha-lipoic acid in regulating glucose metabolism.*

Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) are a special type of fatty acids which are metabolized more fully for energy in the body. Normal fats and oils contain long-chain fatty acids (LCTs). When compared to these fatty acids, MCTs are much shorter in length thus resembling carbohydrates more than fat. As a result, they are more quickly absorbed by the body and metabolized as fuel.* Because of this quick metabolism, the calories in MCTs are very efficiently converted into fuel for immediate use in the mitochondria, instead of being stored as fat.*
Iodine is an essential trace element, recognized for its traditional role in thyroid hormone synthesis. Iodine is directly incorporated into thyroxine (T4) and the biologically active form of the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism and energy production throughout the body and, in turn, affect core body temperature, growth, reproduction, protein synthesis (including the formation of hair and skin), and neuromuscular function.
In addition to its well-known role in thyroid health, iodine has antioxidant activity, and it plays a critical role in intellectual development, endocrine function, and breast and reproductive system health. Approximately 15-20 mg of iodine is concentrated in the thyroid and thyroid hormones, while 70% of the body’s iodine is distributed in other tissues, including the mammary glands, ovaries, eyes, gastric mucosa, cervix, and salivary glands.
