DETOX ESSENZ

• Milk Thistle Extract Liver protection 200 mg → silymarin 160 mg

  European-grown. Standardised to 80% silymarin — 160 mg of the active flavonolignans per serving. Most detox supplements contain 50–100 mg or don’t disclose the extract strength at all.

  Milk thistle supports the liver’s own enzyme capacity and is the most-studied hepatoprotective botanical in modern pharmacology. Core to this formula.

• Artichoke Leaf Extract Bile flow support 150 mg → cynarin 3.7 mg

  Mediterranean-sourced. Standardised to the bitter lactone cynarin — the active compound responsible for artichoke’s bile-stimulating and liver-supporting effects.

  Artichoke extract supports bile production and flow, which is central to how the liver clears fat-soluble toxins and waste. Often overlooked in favour of more “trendy” detox herbs.

• Dandelion Root Extract Liver + kidney support 100 mg

  European-sourced. Whole-root extract with a broad spectrum of bitter compounds and inulin — the prebiotic fibre that supports gut flora alongside the probiotics in this formula.

  Dandelion root has a long traditional history supporting liver, bile, and kidney function. Its mild diuretic and digestive bitter effects complement the milk thistle and artichoke action.

• Green Tea Extract Antioxidant defence 80 mg → EGCG 40 mg

  Standardised to 50% EGCG — epigallocatechin gallate, the primary polyphenol with documented antioxidant activity. Not a cheap green tea powder.

  EGCG supports cellular antioxidant defences and has been extensively studied for its role in supporting normal metabolic clearance. Placed here to support the liver’s phase II detoxification pathways.

  📚 Extensive clinical literature on EGCG
• Chlorella (broken cell wall) Heavy metal binding 60 mg

  Broken cell wall form — required for bioavailability. Chlorella with intact cell walls passes through largely unabsorbed. The broken cell wall process makes the chlorophyll and binding compounds accessible.

  Chlorella is traditionally used in detox protocols to support the binding and excretion of heavy metals via the digestive tract — working alongside the liver’s own clearance pathways.

• L. acidophilus + B. bifidum Gut flora balance 4×10&sup9; CFU

  Two clinically-studied strains at 4 billion CFU total per serving — the amount used in published studies on gut flora composition and digestive regularity.

  The gut and liver are directly connected. A disrupted microbiome increases the burden on the liver via the portal vein. These two strains support gut flora balance and gut wall integrity — the gut side of the axis.

  📚 Multiple peer-reviewed human studies on both strains
• Alpha-Lipoic Acid Universal antioxidant 40 mg

  R-ALA form — the naturally occurring, biologically active isomer. Most supplements use the cheaper racemic mix (50% active, 50% inactive S-form).

  Alpha-lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble — making it unusual in its ability to regenerate other antioxidants (Vitamin C, E, glutathione) and support the liver’s own antioxidant capacity. Found naturally in the mitochondria.

• Glucomannan Gut transit support 38 mg

  From Konjac root. A soluble dietary fibre with an exceptionally high water-holding capacity — it forms a gel in the digestive tract that supports transit and slows the reabsorption of bile acids.

  By binding bile acids in the gut, glucomannan supports their excretion rather than reabsorption — reducing the recirculation of conjugated toxins and supporting healthy gut transit.

  📚 EFSA-reviewed for normal bowel function (traditional use basis)
• Turmeric Extract Inflammation support 35 mg → curcumin 33 mg

  Standardised to 95% curcumin. This is the extract form — not turmeric powder, which contains only 2–5% curcumin and would require grams of powder to match this dose.

  Curcumin supports the liver’s phase II detoxification enzymes and has an established anti-inflammatory profile in peer-reviewed research. Paired with BioPerine® in this formula for 20× absorption uplift.

  📚 Shoba G. et al., Planta Medica 1998; multiple clinical trials
• BioPerine® Absorption activator 5 mg

  Patented black pepper extract standardised to 95% piperine. BioPerine® is the only piperine extract with published human bioavailability data for curcumin.

  5 mg is the exact dose used in the original 1998 study that showed a 20-fold increase in curcumin bioavailability. Not a trace amount for label appeal — the studied amount for measurable effect.

• Chromium EFSA blood glucose claim 0.20 mg 500% NRV

  Chromium picolinate — the most bioavailable form. Dosed at 500% NRV, which is within the EU safe upper limit and consistent with published research doses.

  Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels (EFSA authorised health claim). Stable blood sugar reduces the metabolic load on the liver between meals.

  📚 EFSA authorised health claim
• Zinc Cellular protection 5 mg 50% NRV

  Zinc bisglycinate — the chelated form with superior absorption versus zinc oxide. 5 mg provides 50% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value per serving.

  Zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis and the protection of cells from oxidative stress (EFSA authorised health claims). Supports the liver’s own antioxidant enzyme systems, including superoxide dismutase.
