Anti-Alcohol Antioxidants with HepatoProtection Complex

Anti-Alcohol Antioxidants with HepatoProtection Complex 100 capsules Item Catalog Number: 00802 Consuming alcoholic beverages results in the generation of free radicals. People who drink a lot of alcohol often suffer because of massive free radical-induced cellular damage. Alcohol-induced free radical assault can wreak short-term havoc throughout the body, and these same damaging free radicals are associated with accelerated aging. Protecting against alcohol toxicity Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been associated with acute ethanol-induced liver damage. A study published in the journal Artery confirmed a specific toxic metabolite of alcohol (acetaldehyde) and identified an antidote (N-acetyl-cysteine): “All known pathways of ethanol metabolism result in the production of acetaldehyde, a highly reactive compound. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), an analogue of the dietary amino acid cysteine, binds acetaldehyde, thus preventing its damaging effect on physiological proteins.”54 NAC is a glutathione (GSH) precursor and direct antioxidant. Pretreatment with or co-administration of NAC prevents acute ethanol-induced liver damage via counteracting ethanol-induced oxidative stress.55,56 Thus, when people are exposed to a known toxic substance such as alcohol, it makes perfect sense to take a proven antidote — namely, antioxidants. Life Extension’s Anti-Alcohol Antioxidants with HepatoProtection Complex is an improved formula containing additional antioxidants designed to suppress free radicals, neutralize toxic alcohol metabolites such as acetaldehyde,57-60 and support healthy liver function.* In addition to vitamin B1, vitamin C, N-acetyl-cysteine and benfotiamine, this formula’s HepatoProtection Complex provides therapeutic doses of these novel antioxidants: Chlorophyllin, an agent that protects the body from oxidative stress Leucoselect® grapeseed extract, silymarin (from milk thistle), and resveratrol, three hepatoprotective agents that aid in reducing compounds from potentially toxic xenobiotics and protecting cells from free radial-induced oxidative stress Picroliv® Picrorhiza kurroa root extract, containing antioxidant kutkin that scavenge alcohol-induced excess free radicals, and stimulate regeneration of cells (hepatocytes)* Barley grass powder extract, which enhances the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, thus inhibiting the formation of acetaldehyde malondialdehyde Taking the proper supplements before and after drinking can substantially protect liver cells.*
