Features

Liver Support
The liver is the largest vital organ in the human body and is responsible for hundreds of chemical actions. With a higher-than-normal protein intake and all the aggressive supplements bodybuilders typically use, the liver winds up working overtime to filter everything.  If you want to live the bodybuilding lifestyle maintaining a healthy liver is critical to your success. 

N-Acetyl Cysteine – 1,000 mg
NAC is the amino acid Cysteine with an acetyl group attached, which makes it more stable as well as more absorbable. NAC metabolizes into glutathione once it’s been digested by the body. Glutathione is a potent antioxidant, effectively scavenging free radicals and acting as a liver detoxifier by weakening the harmful effects of toxins and helping to remove heavy metals such as lead and mercury.

Milk Thistle Powder – 600 mg
Milk Thistle is one of the most effective liver support ingredients on the market and has an extended history of use in traditional medicine as a treatment for liver disorders. The active ingredient in Milk Thistle is known as Silymarin which has antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Twin Tiger– L-Glutathione – 30 mg
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that consists of the amino acids glutamine, glycine, and cysteine that binds and detoxifies toxins in the liver and the body as a whole. 

Heart Support
High cholesterol levels can be a side effect of the bodybuilding lifestyle while high blood pressure can be the result of rapid weight gain from the use of aggressive supplements. Taking steps to lower cholesterol as well as blood pressure in order to improve heart health leads to longevity and a healthier lifestyle.

Hawthorn Berry Powder 1,100 mg
Hawthorn Berry has a long history of use in traditional medicine as a natural heart health remedy. Recent research is demonstrating an ability to treat arrhythmias and congestive heart failure. The medicinal benefits of Hawthorn Berries are due to phytonutrients such as tannins, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, and phenolic acids.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid – 400 mg
ALA is an organic compound that’s mainly made by mitochondria. ALA is a potent antioxidant that can reduce oxidative stress which is related to heart disease. Additionally, ALA can help lower cholesterol.

Garlic Extract – 300 mg
While many people may think of Garlic as a solution to the common cold it can also help lower high blood pressure and reduce levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Dimagnesium Malate – 250 mg
Magnesium is an essential mineral that’s involved in thousands of bodily processes. Beyond being involved in calcium absorption and bone health, magnesium is also involved in nerve transmission and muscular health. This version combines Magnesium with Malic Acid, which is involved in the ATP system.

CoQ10 – 25 mg
Like Alpha Lipoic Acid, Coenzyme Q10 is found in the mitochondria and is involved in energy metabolism. It also helps improve cardiac function, enhance blood flow, and increase levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Coenzyme Q10 is a substance that’s found naturally in the body, mainly in the mitochondria where it’s a component of the ATP energy process. As much as 95% of the energy required by the body is generated by the ATP system and the heart is no exception. In fact, the heart, liver, and kidneys all have high energy needs and naturally contain high concentrations of Co-Q10. Co-Q10 acts as an anti-oxidant that reduces high blood pressure and promotes a healthy heart.

Prostate Support
The prostate gland is male-specific and is part of the male reproductive system. It is primarily responsible for helping to make semen. The primary health risk associated with the prostate is that it can enlarge which can indicate prostate cancer.

Saw Palmetto – 1,000 mg
Saw Palmetto is a plant that originates in the southeastern United States and been used since the early 1900s to treat urinary tract problems. Today, Saw Palmetto is commonly used to support the health and function of the prostate gland.

Kidney Support
The kidneys are primarily involved in filtering as well as the elimination of waste products from the blood. Additionally, the kidneys are involved in blood pressure regulation. The bodybuilding lifestyle tends to put extra stress on the kidneys so it makes sense to provide extra support.

Cordyceps Sinensis – 500 mg
Cordyceps is a mushroom with a long use in traditional Chinese medicine as a general tonic. In recent years it has been used to help delay fatigue, fight stress and support kidney health.

Skin Support
Liver and Organ Defender helps promote healthy skin and reduce problems associated with acne.

Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate – 300 mg
Zinc is an essential mineral that supports immune system health, plays a role in testosterone production and is involved in protein metabolism. Zinc performs many more functions including fighting acne and other skin conditions.

Selenium Glycinate Chelate – 70 mcg
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that can help decrease scars caused by acne, increase skin elasticity and help protect the skin from the effects of oxidative stress.
