Detox & Elimination
Back to Health Concerns
Printable Version
On a daily basis, we come in contact with many toxic substances. Toxins are in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, and even made by our bodies. Exposure can result in chronic health conditions if the body does not effectively detoxify and eliminate these toxins. Enhancing both liver and colon function are vital to effective detoxification and ideal wellness. Healthy dietary choices, such as increasing amounts of water-soluble fiber (pears, oat bran, apples, etc.) and broccoli family vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc.) can assist the body in the breakdown and elimination of toxins. Nutritional supplements are also an important part of detoxification support by providing materials that protect the liver from damage and improve the breakdown and removal of toxic substances.

Essential Products for Detox & Elimination
LIVER SUPPORT FORMULA
The liver is the primary organ involved in detoxification as well as having other vital roles in metabolism, blood sugar regulation, thyroid function, and digestion. It is essential to nurture the liver with nutrients like those in Pathway HEPA PLUS. Milk thistle extract, standardized to greater than 80% silymarin, promotes detoxification and stimulates healthy growth of new liver cells. Dandelion root helps encourage healthy flow of bile, while lipoic acid and N-acetyl L-cysteine each lend important antioxidant support.

COLON SUPPORT FORMULA
Proper waste elimination is vital to detoxification and overall health which means proper functioning of the colon (large intestine). Pathway COLON HEALTH SUPPORT is a unique formula that provides beneficial nutrients to support healthy colon function. Flax seed, arabinogalactan fiber and indole-3-carbinol provide protective benefits for the colon and aid in the detoxification process. Probiotics, colostrum, MicroLactin® (milk protein extract), and NutraFlora® (fructo-oligosaccharides) have been shown to support the digestive process and waste elimination system, plus they support the body’s overall immune system.

Optional Products for Detox & Elimination
GLUTATHIONE & N-ACETYL CYSTEINE
Glutathione is considered to be the most powerful, most versatile, and most important of the body's self-generated antioxidants. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a major precursor of glutathione and is believed to be more readily absorbed into certain cells of the body than glutathione. Together, they help fight free radical damage, enhance the elimination of toxins via the liver, and support system function. Each Pathway GLU-NAC PLUS capsule contains 250mg of glutathione, 250mg of NAC and 5mg of alpha lipoic acid (to enhance glutathione levels).

SULFORAPHANE GLUCOSINOLATE

SGS contributes to the integrity all of cells. Since its discovery, more than 200 publications from universities worldwide have highlighted the significance of sulforaphane glucosinolate. SGS activates the body’s natural detoxification and antioxidant enzymes, protecting cells from free radical damage. Each Xymogen ONCOPLEX SGS capsule contains 30 mg of sulforaphane glucosinolate.
