DTX Complex

Shaklee Difference:

Research indicates that the primary ingredients in DTX Complex, milk thistle seed extract, supports the body’s normal ability to make proteins that help regenerate liver cells.

DTX Complex is an excellent choice of a potent standardized extract of milk thistle seed (80% silymarin).

It contains a uniquely Enhanced Proprietary Blend with extracts of Schizandra and reishi mushrooms,

Herbs with antioxidant properties, and extracts of dandelion, turmeric, and artichoke, herbs that help maintain the normal bile flow.

The largest internal organ in the body, the liver is also the only organ capable of regenerating itself. For example, a heart attack can create permanent damage to the heart muscle. By contrast, heavy alcohol consumption can damage the liver, but abstaining from alcohol gives the liver a chance to repair itself. You could think of the liver as a kind of INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING PLANT for the body, performing a wide range of critical functions for physical maintenance and repair.

 

Function of the liver:

1.    Secretion of bile- this fluid is stored in the gallbladder for release when needed for digestion.

Bile is necessary for the digestion of fats; it breaks down into small globules. Bile also assists

in the absorption of fat soluble vitamins A,D,E,F,K, and helps to assimilate calcium. In addition,

bile convert beta carotene to vitamin A.

2.    Acts as a detoxifier- protein metabolism and bacterial fermentation of food in the intestines

produces the by-product ammonia, which is detoxified by the liver. The liver regulates protein

metabolism. In addition to detoxifying ammonia, the liver also combines toxic substances

including metabolic waste, insecticide residues, drugs, alcohol, and chemicals with other substances

that are less toxic. These substances are then excreted from the kidneys. Thus in order to have proper

liver function, you must also have proper kidney function.

3.    Regulating blood sugar levels- by converting thyroxine, a thyroid hormone, into its more active form.

Inadequate conversion by the liver may lead to hypothyroidism. The liver creates GTF

(glucose tolerance factor) from chromium and glutathione. GTF is required for insulin to regulate

 blood sugar levels properly. Excess sugar will be stored in the body as glycogen, and then converted

back to sugar when needed for energy. The liver also breaks down hormones like adrenalin, estrogen

and insulin after they have performed their needed functions.

4.    Important in fat metabolism- in the synthesis of fatty acids from amino acids and sugars, in the

production of lipoprotein, cholesterol and phospholipids, and in the oxidation of fat to produce energy.

Finally, excess food is converted to fat in the liver, which is then transported to the fatty tissues

of the body for storage.
