- Helps in energy metabolism and tissue formation
- Helps to support the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients
- Source of antioxidants that help protect against the oxidative damage caused by free radicals
- Assists in the building of lean muscle tissue when combined with regular resistance training and a healthy balanced diet
Core Support is a multi-system support formulation including plant-based protein, a fibre blend, N-Acetyl-L-cysteine, an antioxidant vegetable extract blend, and polyphenols. Free radicals are byproducts of normal metabolic activity which in high amounts can negatively affect the body. Regular consumption of antioxidants is one of the best ways to protect the body from a high free radical concentration. Additionally, adequate fibre in the diet can help alleviate slow bowel transport times and promote a healthy gastrointestinal microflora balance.
Benefits:
N-Acetyl-L-cysteine
N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a sulfhydryl-containing amino acid. Studies have shown that, although the absorption of oral glutathione is limited, supplementation with NAC can significantly increase circulating levels of glutathione.
Glycine
Glycine protects cells from oxidative damage by a protein called glycine transporter 1, or GlyT1.
Taurine
Taurine binds bile acids and supports glutathione activity.
Pomegranate Fruit Extract
The pomegranate fruit has high antioxidant levels.
Watercress Extract
Watercress is a source of antioxidants and helps to protect against oxidative damage.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha Lipoic Acid has been shown to indirectly increase or maintain glutathione, vitamin E and vitamin C levels in the body.
Fibre Blend
Core Support provides a blend of diverse fibres, including resistant maltodextrin, partially hydrolysed guar gum, flaxseed, glucomannan, fig and prune fibre, and arabinogalactan from larch trees. This fibre blend supports bile acid production and secretion, and a healthy balance of microbial richness and diversity.
Vegetable Antioxidant Blend
Core Support contains a highly concentrated vegetable blend with a high oxygen radical absorbance capacity, a method of measuring antioxidant activity. Cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, kale, and Brussels sprouts support the body’s response to oxidative stress by providing nutrients such as sulforaphane and glucosinolates.
Schisandra Berry Extract
Schisandra is a source of antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.
Green Tea Extract
A main polyphenol in green tea is epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) which has been shown to increase antioxidant protection and potentiate cellular defense capacity.
Rosemary
Rosemary includes polyphenols that are potent antioxidants.
