Ingredients explained
Policosanol
Long-chain fatty alcohols such as octacosanol may influence lipid metabolism and support healthy cholesterol balance through effects on liver enzymes and lipoprotein handling.
Caution: May interact with blood-thinning drugs due to possible effects on platelets; check with a healthcare professional if using anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications.
Artichoke extract (leaf) (min. 2% caffeoylquinic acids as cynarins)
Caffeoylquinic acids may stimulate bile flow and support fat digestion and cholesterol handling in the liver.
Caution: Use caution if sensitive to plants in the Asteraceae family or if experiencing bile duct obstruction due to its bile-stimulating effects.
Milk thistle extract (standardized to 80 mg silymarin flavonoids)
Silymarin acts as an antioxidant in liver cells and may support phase II detoxification enzymes.
Caution: May affect how some drugs are processed in the liver; consider spacing from medications and consult a professional if on prescription therapy.
Alpha lipoic acid
Alpha lipoic acid functions as a versatile antioxidant that helps regenerate other antioxidants and supports cellular energy metabolism.
Caution: May affect blood sugar levels; monitor if using glucose-lowering medications.
Grape seed extract (standardized for polyphenols)
Grape seed polyphenols provide antioxidant activity that helps protect lipids and blood vessels from oxidative stress.
Caution: May have mild blood-thinning effects; use caution with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
How they work together
Policosanol focuses on lipid balance, while artichoke and milk thistle support bile flow and liver function that manage fat processing. Alpha lipoic acid and grape seed extract provide antioxidant support that helps protect lipids and liver cells from oxidative stress. Together these actions address cholesterol handling and hepatic wellness from complementary angles.
