In day-to-day living, our bodies are
constantly changing. Normal aging, stress, and regular wear and tear add
to the breakdown of bodily functions. Poor diet, sleep and exercising habits
are also culprits in diminishing our physical capacity. Finally, illness
and disease can also contribute to the body's deterioration. To ensure that
we are doing all we can to improve and preserve our overall health, we must
maintain a proper, balanced diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep,
etc. Unicity believes that natural herbal supplements can also provide crucial
nutrients and enhancement so that the body can function at its best, preventing
premature aging and degeneration.*
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.
