Milk Thistle (Carduus marianus) – Studies have demonstrated that Milk Thistle protects against free radical oxidation by in- creasing the intracellular concentration of glutathione. Due to this ability, it has been favored among herbalists for hundreds of years for many liver conditions. The active phytochemical in Milk Thistle is silymarin, which has been shown to regenerate liver cells and guard the liver from damage by pollutants and viral toxicity. It has also been used by herbalists for chronic hepati- tis, fatty liver disorders, cholangitis (infammation of bile ducts decreasing bile fow), cholestasis, cirrhosis, and hepatic organ damage. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) – A member of the ginger family, Turmeric has been made popular by the research done on cur- cumin and curcuminoids. These phytochemicals have demon- strated a high anti-infammatory action and potent antioxidant activity. Because of this anti-infammatory quality, it has been traditionally used to treat arthritis, asthma, infections, eczema, and psoriasis. Other research has shown Turmeric to inhibit lipid peroxidation, improve gastric and hepatic function, and provide long-term support in cardiovascular disease. Maidenhair Tree (Ginkgo biloba) – Used traditionally to increase vascular function resulting in increased memory and concentra- tion. It can also be used for clearing imbalances such as inter- mittent claudication, vertigo, and tinnitus. Maidenhair Tree has been shown to have favonoids which scavenge free radicals and antagonize lipid peroxidation. Green Tea Extract – Introduced to the Western world by the Chinese, Green Tea has been used for centuries due to its high antioxidant activity. Its most widely researched polyphenol, epi- gallocatchin, has been shown to be a highly potent antioxidant, inhibiting the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins, aiding in low- ering total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, and having possible anti-infammatory activity. Quercetin – Belongs to a group of polyphenolic substances known as favonoids which may have antioxidant, anti-infamma- tory, antiviral, immunomodulatory, and gastroprotective activi- ties. Grape Seed Extract – Contains a variety of phytomedicinal com- pounds thought to reduce infammation, relieve pain, and protect the cardiovascular system from free radical damage. The better- known favonoids in Grape Seed Extract are called oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs). Studies suggest that OPCs may be helpful with circulatory imbalances such as varicose veins, macular de- generation, diabetic retinopathy, and deterring the breakdown of collagen in the body.
