Thermophase Detox is a delicious rice protein based powder that we use in combination with Gtox Exress to make the power packed detox shake that most of you will grow to love.
Thermophase Detox itself is a powerful formulation that has broad ranging properties to provide deeply detoxifying actions. Below is a summary of its effects.
Assists gut health, liver and cellular detoxification processes.
Reduce Toxic load by Supporting Gut Barrier function, Gut
and Microbiome Health and LPS Reactions. Glutamine may help
to protect gut integrity and permeability, with zinc to reduce mucosal permeability, and gram negative bacterial translocation. Taurine and the TCM herb, gardenia, support the liver, with in vitro work showing taurine to reduce lipo-polysaccharide activation of liver Kupffer cells. Arabinogalactans from larch provide prebiotic benefits to stimulate SCFA, lactobacilli and bifidobacteria growth as part of a healthy gut microbiome.
Improves Cellular Liver Detoxification Capacity. Milk thistle has been used in western herbal medicine to assist the detoxification capacity of the liver. Silymarin inhibits β-glucuronidase activity to assist the elimination of metabolites conjugated through phase II detoxification. Green tea polyphenols also stimulate the activity of hepatic detoxification enzymes, thereby promoting detoxification of xenobiotic compounds.
Neutralises Reactive Toxins: Antioxidants such as selenium, zinc and green tea help protect against potential free radical damage from reactive toxins formed during phase 1. Cysteine and glutamine help synthesise glutathione. Hydrolysed rice is a natural source of cysteine, glutamine and glycine. Green tea has also demonstrated high antioxidant activity with an ability to scavenge hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. It is hypothesised that green tea catechins, by decreasing the oxidative stress in cells, modulate the expression of antioxidant enzyme (AE) genes.
Eliminates and Conjugates Toxins: The low reactive, non GMO hydrolysed rice in Thermophase Detox Essentials supplies essential amino acids and nutrients to support major phase II conjugation pathways. Phase II detoxification pathways are dependent upon adequate substrates to carry out conjugation reactions. Phase II detoxification pathways make intermediate metabolites formed from phase I detoxification more water-soluble and therefore more easily excreted in the bile and urine. Thermophase Detox Essentials assists in promoting the body’s elimination of wastes via the liver and bile with taurine and the TCM herb, gardenia.
