Antioxidant Expert: Removes excess "free radicals" from the body (the culprits of aging and disease), delays cell aging, and prevents chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Bile-Boosting and Detoxifying: Promotes bile secretion, aids fat digestion, and relieves the discomfort of gallstones and cholecystitis.
Accelerates the breakdown of toxins such as alcohol, heavy metals, and pesticides, allowing them to be excreted more quickly.
