Orthochol™
A Natural Detox
Orthochol provides nutritional support for liver and gallbladder function. This formula is helpful in reinforcing liver function and in relieving liver stress by enhancing the detoxification process. Orthochol supports the liver, allowing for more effective fat metabolism. Hardening of the arteries, poor immune function and liver congestion, among other conditions, have all been linked to improper utilization of fats. With Orthochol, the body's ability to properly use fats is naturally and safely supported.
This formulation employs the benefits of garlic, fatty acids and the enzyme lipase for the purpose of addressing the need to reinforce the actions of the liver and to relieve liver stress. It will also help to nutritionally support optional liver functions, including regulating abnormal fats - such as high choleterol, LDL, triglycerides, etc. - which can be created by liver stress. It works well in coordination with Infinity2's Lipo-chromizyme formulation.
- Replenishes enzymes and other nutrients needed to promote proper function of the liver.
- Effective for overweight people who have signs of liver stress, particularly poor utilization of fats.
- Assists in detoxification of the body and energy production through enhanced fat metabolism.
Orthochol Technical Information
Blood Morphology Features:
For white crystals, chylous, mesosomes or any cholesterol elevation.
Actions:
GLA Black Currant: The richest source of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Used to adjust the fatty acid profile in the diet. While the body is capable of synthesizing GLA from linoleic acid this conversion is impaired in cases of liver dysfunction.
Lipase:
Lipase enzymes hydrolyze neutral fat into glycerol and fatty acids. If fats are not properly digested, they cannot be used by the body. Properly digested fats are needed to maintain an adequate energy level. To be optimally absorbed by the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, dietary fats must be digested by lipase into monoglycerides and free fatty acids. In the epithelial cell, the majority of these fatty acids and monoglycerides are recombined to form triglycerides which aggregate with small amounts of absorbed cholesterol and phospholipids to form chylomicrons. These chylomicrons diffuse into the lymph for transport to the bloodstream. Lipoprotein lipase contained in both adipose tissue and the liver remove most of the chylomicrons from the blood as they pass through the capillaries of these tissues. This lipase breaks down the chylomicrons into fatty acids and glycerol which readily diffuse into the fat and liver cells where they are reformed into triglycerides for storage. When these triglycerides are to be used for energy, they are again broken down by lipases in the storage cells to glycerol and free fatty acids for transport to the active tissues where they will be oxidized for energy. Although the exact cause of cholesterol deposits on arterial walls is unclear, it is highly associated with abnormalities of lipid metabolism that elevate blood cholesterol. Studies have demonstrated that in patients of advancing middle and old age with excessive cholesterol deposits in their arteries, there is a progressive blood lipase decline. Older persons were found to have lower lipase levels and hence poor fat absorption from the intestine. It has been speculated that in hardening of the arteries, fat may be absorbed in the unhydrolyzed state which emphasizes the importance of proper digestion of dietary fats. Phagocytic cells of the body's immune system use digestive enzymes, including lipase, to destroy foreign organisms. Studies have shown that sufficient amounts of lipase can help retard the proliferation of certain viruses. These types of viruses are surrounded by a lipid envelope. Lipase penetrates this fatty layer, releasing the virus into the bloodstream where it is attacked by proteolytic enzymes.
Cellulase:
Used to partially break up cellulose so that in the GI tract, the larger surface area can begin to absorb fats and toxins and therefore drain them off of the body.
Milk Thistle:
Arms the liver with complete nutritional support to deal with fats and to normalize the fat digestion function of the body. Milk thistle is a liver and blood detoxifier prized for its powerful regenerative effect on liver cells. It is used widely in Europe to optimize liver function.
Garlic:
Stimulates the detoxification activity that the liver needs in order to be able to handle any load, especially that of fatty materials. Dissolves cholesterol in the bloodstream, lowers LDL cholesterol, and enhances the immune function.
Phosphatidyl Choline:
Used by the liver for emulsifying fats. This is the natural source of choline and inositol for which lecithin is famous. Choline regulates the amount of fat that accumulates in the liver and emulsifies cholesterol.
Chelate Activated Enzyme Delivery System (CAeDS™):
Ensures that there are no barriers to assimilation. All of the minerals and other cofactors that were in the nutrient compound naturally are added back into the formulation. Minerals are chelated (patented process).
Dietary Habits:
For people who require improved dietary fat tolerance or experience elevated cholesterol or triglycerides.
Recommended Dosage:
Three capsules upon arising in the morning and three capsules at bedtime. As the metabolism slows down (morning and night) liver debris settles and is most efficiently taken care of.
Ingredients - Each serving of 1 capsule provides:
Orthocol Proprietary Blend 270 mg
Black Current fruit extract, Milk Thistle (seed), Garlic bulb (odorless), Lecithin
CAeDS for Orthocol 110 mg
Other Ingredients: Gelatin, cellulose, water
