Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) is a naturally occurring form of L-Carnitine in the body that is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids into the universal energy molecule ATP. 

Deglycyrrhised Licorice Root Extract contains Licorice Root and is one of Solgar®'s Botanical range products.

Solgar®'s Botanicals are carefully selected from plants growing in the wild or cultivated on special botanical farms. The finest, freshest botanicals are chosen based on a strict set of criteria such as the geographical origin of the raw material, the authentication of the species and the qualities of the raw material. Botanicals have been used by mankind since early history as the beneficial effects of food beyond their nutrient function have been recognised since early times. They have been used through centuries to maintain health and a lot of today's medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Botanicals are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, Let thy food be thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food'.

Licorice root grows in Europe, the Mediterranean and Asia, having been used for centuries for several purposes. In some countries it is eaten as candy and it has a very strong flavour. The licorice root herb (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) is very complex and contains different compounds. In the Deglycyrrhised version of licorice root, the compound triterpenoid glycyrrhizin has been removed. This element is what causes the sweet flavour, but when used in excess it can cause side effects.

Deglycyrrhised Licorice Root Extract is to be taken as 1-3 vegetable capsules a day, giving you all the benefits of this ancient botanical, without any of the side effects caused by glycyrrhizin.

Oil from the seeds of the Evening Primrose plant was the material studied in the original research on GLA.
GLA is an essential omega-6 fatty acid.* The oil is cold-pressed and hexane free. Standardized to 9% GLA.

Kirkman® Glutathione Cream is not a dietary supplement. Glutathione offers powerful antioxidant activity that works against the formation of free radicals.

Horny Goat Weed is an ornamental plant that also has a long history of traditional use in Chinese herbalism. In China, Horny Goat Weed is called yin yang huo because it is a tonic for the female (yin) and the male (yang). Epimedium was thought to "tonify life's gate" - a term used to refer to the "vital energy" in men. NOW® Horny Goat Weed Extract is combined with Maca, another herb known for its tonifying properties.

Glutathione is the body’s master detoxifier and most potent endogenous antioxidant. Glutathione offers comprehensive antioxidant protection, binding to a wide array of damaging molecules, including reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxides, xenobiotics, pesticides, mycotoxins, oxidized vitamin E, oxidized vitamin C, methylmercury, medications, heavy metals, and other harmful substances. Glutathione serves as an essential cofactor for critical and powerful antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-s-transferase (GST). Glutathione has been known to help regenerate the antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E. Glutathione offers potent protection inside the mitochondria, our cells’ energy powerhouses; is critical to our immune system function, helps dampen inflammation; is a key player in autoimmunity. Packaged in Quicksilver Scientific's advanced nano-liposomal delivery system, Quicksilver Scientific glutathione is protected from breakdown by stomach acid and delivered rapidly to the cells where it is needed most.

SUPPORTS ALL THREE PHASES OF DETOXIFICATION Glutathione is present in every single cell of our bodies—at surprisingly high levels equal to that of glucose, potassium or cholesterol. Concentrations are five to ten times higher in hepatocytes than other cells as the liver is constantly processing and removing toxins.
Strengthening the glutathione system supports all three phases of detoxification, but in particular phases II and III      

• Phase I—Oxidation: The liver converts a lipid-soluble toxin into a less harmful compound, preparing it for phase II detoxification. This occurs through oxidation, reduction and hydrolysis of substances via cytochrome P450 enzymes.      

• Phase II—Conjugation: Glutathione binds to the toxin, rendering it water-soluble. This occurs through sulfation, glucuronidation and glutathione conjugation of toxins.      

• Phase III—Elimination: Cellular transport and elimination of the conjugated toxin through bile or urine. Optimal phase II and III detoxification requires the activation of the cellular master switch Nrf2. Nrf2 regulates over 500 genes involved in detoxification.

NOT ALL GLUTATHIONE IS CREATED EQUAL Typical oral delivery of glutathione is greatly inhibited by breakdown in the stomach. Quicksilver Scientific's liposomal delivery system not only protects glutathione from breakdown in the digestive system, but also dramatically enhances cellular delivery. In cell cultures, liposomal glutathione has been demonstrated to be 100 times more efficacious for intracellular delivery than non-liposomal glutathione.
