Red Clover Plus® is a comprehensive herbal combination that works to help the blood and liver, as well as building the body's defense system. Helps cleanse the tissues and cells. It has also been used to increase circulation and balance the glandular system.
Red Clover Plus® is a blend of special herbal extracts that nourish the body's ability to cleanse and enhance the liver and intestinal tract functions. The liver is the largest solid organ of the body and performs a variety of essential functions. It breaks down poisons and toxins until they are harmless. It also manufactures enzymes, cholesterol and proteins, converts beta-carotene into Vitamin A, and produces bile for digestion. The liver also stores glycogen, a digested carbohydrate that is released at certain times to maintain blood sugar levels. As you can see, the liver must stay in excellent condition if the body is to function properly. Additionally, the body's ability to produce healthy blood cells is essential to the maintenance of all organs and systems. If the intestinal tract is operating properly, it will process and eliminate wastes on a regular basis. This will also prevent an excessive burden of detoxification from being placed on the liver.
Research Brief
The liver is a 24-hour chemical plant responsible for the production, storage, metabolism and distribution of a multitude of nutrients essential to a healthy body. It takes in waste products, converts some of them into useable elements and excretes those that are harmful. At the same time the liver produces Vitamin A and stores Vitamins A, D and B12. A chemical company would require a plant covering several acres to perform its simpler tasks. The more complicated ones it could not do at all. The liver has a number of functions, including: the production of essential substances such as glucose and proteins for the rest of the body, the production of important factors to help clot the blood, the removal of toxic substances from the blood, the breakdown of fats and other substances and hormones are also produced and broken down in the liver. There are many causes of liver dysfunction, including: viruses (i.e. Hepatitis), toxins (i.e. aflatoxins), alcohol abuse, certain medications (i.e. statin drugs) and high fat diets. The liver has the remarkable ability to regenerate itself given the materials and the opportunity.
