The liver is an essential organ responsible for processing almost everything you consume, inhale and absorb through your skin – it’s your body’s main defense against toxins, and aids in digestion. Through supporting liver function, RESET assists one of the body’s main detoxification systems. Since the skin obtains its nutrients from the bloodstream, symptoms of reduced liver function often first appear in the skin. This means that when we provide our bodies with nutrients to support liver function and health, we are promoting healthy skin.
Powerful Ingredients That Help Eliminate Free Radicals
The combination of silymarin (from milk thistle extract) and active sulforaphane (from broccoli sprout powder) aid your natural detoxification while providing antioxidants that scavenge free radicals from your body.
Milk Thistle Extract
The active ingredients in milk thistle are a group of plant compounds collectively known as silymarin. Silymarin helps to protect the liver and support its function, so that it can effectively fulfill its role in the detoxification process and overall body health. It acts primarily as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals, and reducing free radical production and lipid peroxidation. These mechanisms help protect cells against oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Pre-clinical studies have also shown it has anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory effects that specifically support liver structure and function.
Broccoli Sprout Powder
Broccoli sprout powder provides antioxidants to help protect the body from damaging free radicals. Sulforaphane, a sulfur containing phytochemical produced from glucoraphanin found in cruciferous vegetables, helps to enhance your body’s natural detoxification process by stimulating increased production of important internal antioxidants and detoxifying enzymes that help to eliminate potentially harmful substances from your body and help reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
However, not all broccoli sprout powders contain sulforaphane. Broccoli powders typically contain the inactive pre-cursor form of sulforaphane, called glucoraphanin. Conversion of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane requires the presence of the enzyme, myrosinase, which is naturally present in whole food broccoli and can be produced by gut-microorganisms. However, many factors impact this conversion, and therefore, taking a known amount of glucoraphanin does not guarantee a consistent dose of sulforaphane. By providing broccoli sprout powder containing a standardized quantity of sulforaphane, Reset ensures a consistent, active dose of sulforaphane.
