Nutritional Drink Mix
1 kg ( SKU: 9232, NPN: 80073269 )
Benefits
- Supports toxin elimination and improves glutathione synthesis with NAC, green tea extract, taurine and glutathione, critical to removal of numerous endogenous and exogenous toxins
- Includes nutrients that improve metabolic function and support glucose regulation,including chromium picolinate and magnesium citrate
- Provides broad base of bioavailable nutrients, including 5-MTHF folate, riboflavin 5-phosphate, and methylcobalamin, and the citrate/picolinate forms of most minerals
- In a low allergy base of pea and organic rice protein, providing over 8 g of each protein per serving
Feature Summary
BioClear supports detoxification pathways by providing key nutrients in a broad foundation of bioavailable vitamins and minerals. This formula utilizes forms of each nutrient designed both to bypass metabolic bottlenecks and for optimal absorption,including riboflavin 5-phosphate, the 5-MTHF form of folate, mixed tocopherols, and the citrate or picolinate forms of most minerals.1,2 The low allergen pea and organic rice protein in BioClear not only complements an elimination diet, being soy and dairy free,but the pea protein especially provides a complete protein at least as effective as whey for muscle development.3
Clinical nutrients such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), glutathione, taurine, and green tea extract support detoxification of both endogenous and exogenous toxins.4 NAC has been shown to directly increase cellular glutathione levels, limiting the toxicity and enhancing the elimination of numerous toxins, including mercury, lead, cadmium, and a variety of persistent organic pollutants.5-9 Taurine provides antioxidant support, upregulates mitochondrial protein synthesis, and has been shown to improve cardiac and endothelial function.10,11
