Liver Detoxification

YOUR LIVER working 24 hours to sustain life...

The liver is the body's largest internal organ and has the burden of processing the input (diet) and the output (detoxification). Unknown to many people, our liver health is critical to our well being as it is our 'chemical factory' performing more than 500 vital functions.

Processor
All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes throug the liver to be processed and broken down into useable nutrient. The liver also metabolised food for energy and converts poisonous metabolic by products for excretion.

Manufacturer
The liver produces many substances for growth as well as cholesterol protein (for blood plasma) and bile to (break down fat and carry waste).

Storage depot
The liver stores energy and many essential vitamins and minerals for release when needed.

Controller
The liver acts to regulate blood sugar and blood levels of amino acids blance fluid levels and regulate blood-clotting.

Filter
Toxins enter our body through food (processed food, fast food, preservtives, medicine etc), drinks (contaminated water, alcohol etc), air (pollution, smoke, paint fumes etc) and skin contact (pesticide, insecticide etc). The liver has to break these into less harmful forms to be excreted.

Defender
The liver produces immune factors and macrophages (immune cells0 to remove dead cells, bacteria, toxins and metabolic waste circulating through the liver, thus helping our body to resist infactions.

Overwork Liver = Unhealthy Body

With so many functions, it is no wonder that our liver is overtaxed. An overworked liver will produce a cascading effect on the rest of the body due to toxin build-up and nutrient deficiency that erode tissue integrity, defense and vitality. The early symptoms of an unhealthy liver are easily overlooked as they may be mild or mistaken for minor discomfort or sickness.

However, these may indicate more serious liver problems.

• HEPATITIS A
  The Hepatitis A virus spreads through food or water contaminated by stool of an infected person. This cause swelling of the liver and weakens its ability to break down drugs.
• HEPATITIS B
  The Hepatitis B virus is 100 times more infectious than HIV (AIDS virus) and can lead to more serious liver diseases like cirrhosis and liver cancer. it spreads by contact with an infected person's blood, semen or body fluid.
• HEPATITIS C
  Described by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a "vital time bomb", Hepatitis C spreads through contact with infected blood, sex with an infected person and from mother to baby during childbirth and may lead to liver cancer.
• JAUNDICE
  Often affecting newborns, jaundice is a yellow discolouration of the skin and whites of the eyes when the liver has difficulty excreting bilirubin in the bile.
• FATTY LIVER DISEASE
  Obesity, diabetes or high triglycerides level can cause excess fat to build up in the liver cells, leading to liver inflammation.
• CIRRHOSIS
  Chronic alcoholism, long term liver damage or prolong exposure to toxins can cause cirrhosis, resulting in severely deteriorated liver functions.
• LIVER CANCER
  Symptoms can include a lump or pain on the right side of your abdomen and yellowing of the skin. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and liver transplant.

INTRODUCING FITORAC
The perfect food for a healthy liver...

When the liver breaks down toxic chemicals into less harmful substances, free radicals are formed. When there are too many free radicals are formed. When there are too many free radicals, they can damage our liver cells. In order to neutralize or destroy these free radicals, we need to take food high in antioxidants and phytonnutrients.

Phytonutrients are antioxidants found only in plants. They are powerful free radical scavengers with various health-protecting qualities. As different Phytonutrients have different oxidation reactions in our cells, it is advisable to take a large variety of fruits and vegetables from each of the 5 food color groups.

1 serving of FITORAC is equivalent to 7 servings of fruits and vegetables.
FITORAC is formulated with 21 types of fruits and vegetables across the 5 food colour groups for optimal phytonutrient content.

2 way protection - FITORAC contains key elements that help cellular health by:-

1. enhancing immunity, neutralising free radicals and enhancing cellular repair, and
2. promoting regeneration of liver cells for optimal liver health and helping to neutralise toxins.

3 superior extracts in FITORAC help enhance liver detoxification:-

• Wasabi
  Supports the body's immune system and ensures a healty, cleansed liver
• Artichoke
  Strengthens liver functions and stimulates regeneration of damaged liver tissue
• Broccoli
  Increases detoxification enzymes that fight abnormal growth of liver cells

4 000 OREC* units make FITORAC a potent antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage.

• The Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) measures the total antioxidant power of a substance. Studies indicate that we need 3000 - 5000 ORAC units daily.

1 Spoonful FITORAC = 7 Servings of Fruits & Vegetables

People on the go and picky eaters need fret no more. With FITORAC, 1 spoonful is all you need daily to fulfill your daily requirements.
