Super Detox makes use of three herbs with proven effects: Milk Thistle seeds, known also as Silymarin, which renders toxins in fatty deposits water soluble (see here for longer article on Silymarin) Fenugreek seeds which assist normal cell growth, lowers cholesterol, acts as a digestive tonic and lowers blood sugar in diabetics Artichoke extracts which is anti-bacterial and also used for diabetes
The liver is our main organ of detoxification. It does have spare capacity and the ability to regenerate, but medical experts agree that the toxic overload peculiar to our times has stretched it beyond its limit in one out of three people. Toxins that can burden the liver include metabolic end products, bacteria and viruses, pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol, food additives and other chemical pollutants. The detoxification of the liver is a two stage process: firstly the toxins are made water soluble, and then they are eliminated. This takes place through the kidneys and the colon, and Super Detox supports both of these stages and encourages full purification. The extracts (milk thistle, fenugreek and artichoke) are produced by a triple cold maceration process, filtered and combined in a balanced ratio to amplify the primary function of milk thistle. The extracts are preserved in grain alcohol (20%). The twenty day course can be repeated if required. This information is not intended to replace the advice of a qualified Healthcare Professional. |
Rio Health
The herbal
preparations in the Rio Range have been sourced and prepared to the highest
standards, and are manufactured in facilities licensed for pharmaceutical use.
They contain the finest quality ingredients, tested at source for purity and
active levels.
Rio Health has
specialized in the herbs of the Amazon Rainforest for over fifteen years. By far
the greatest concentration of plant species on the planet is to be found in the
Amazon basin.
It is estimated that over 80% of the earth's bio-diversity is located in this
amazing profusion. Amongst this huge biomass there are thought to be many plant
species with therapeutic possibilities.
Although from the air the jungle canopy may look like a wild diverse confusion,
there are signs that hand the hand of man may once, thousands of years ago, have
been involved in the selection and planting of species. Some food plants, for
instance, not native to the Amazon basin, appear along clearly defined routes
stretching hundreds of miles, as if they had been sketched to support
travellers. So do some of the known medicinal plants. In the intervening
centuries the pathways of this vast herb garden have become overgrown and
unclear, but head westward from Manaus, along an ancient route may bring to
light some very special new plant by the wayside.
Herbs
For thousands of years, herbs have been used to help maintain many aspects of
health and wellness. Today, research and technology are bringing herbalism into
the modern age – with improved extraction, standardization, and farming
methods. Clinical studies are beginning to validate herbal therapies, so even
some in the medical community are starting to accept them. Many of today’s
medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the
white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis
from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important
constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they
food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”. Some of the herbs
available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others
are meticulously cultivated on herb farms.
