Heavy Metal Support 120c by Thorne
Heavy Metal Support by Thorne provides nutrients needed for detoxification.*
- use as an adjunct with other detox support products like Fractionated Pectin Powder
- contains important kidney- and liver-protective botanicals*
- replaces minerals that can be lost during detoxification*
Magnesium is included to replenish the magnesium typically needed during detoxification. Because manganese, copper, and molybdenum may also be needed, they are included in Heavy Metal Support to supplement mineral levels. Zinc increases the production of metallothionein, which helps protect the kidneys. Both selenium and alpha-lipoic acid increase levels of the important detoxification antioxidant glutathione. Uva ursi and marshmallow root are kidney-protective botanicals.*
