Natural Support for Liver Health
By New Chapter Health Writers & Christine Dreher, CCN, CCH
 Turmeric: Foundation for a Healthy Herbal Program
New Chapter has been in love with turmeric for decades. We grow it on
our
organic farm in Costa Rica, which is nestled in the volcanic
mountains adjoining the Children's Eternal Rainforest. Turmeric has long
been revered as the foundation of an herbal program for health.
Turmeric is revered by many as the world’s most protective botanical. It
is best known for maintaining a healthy inflammation response,
supporting healthy cardiovascular, heart and liver functions.
- In India's Ayurvedic tradition, turmeric has been recognized for
thousands of years as a key balancing and detoxifying herb.
- In Indonesia's traditional herbal system known as Jamu, turmeric is
considered the "Queen" of all herbs, and is the featured daily herb for
tens of millions of Indonesians.
- In Japan and China, people embrace turmeric for its powerful, yet safe
liver detoxification, and there are societies in Japan where turmeric
juice is consumed daily.
- In western scientific literature and herbal traditions, turmeric is
considered by many leading scholars to be the most important herb on
earth.
We at New Chapter agree that turmeric is the world's most important
herb, and we are proud that
Turmericforce is the world's first
supercritical full spectrum turmeric extract. We take our full-spectrum
turmeric, and without chemical solvents or heat stress, concentrate
radiant turmeric oils as much as 200:1. This is combined with a
full-spectrum hydroethanolic extract that potency assures it for at
least 22 mg of the full curcuminoid fractions. This is not a mere
isolate of standardized turmeric, offering just one or more of the
curcuminoids. This is
turmeric as nature intended - with its full
complement of chemistries represented.
Mushrooms are marvels of Mother Nature
Human culture has evolved with mushrooms and many societies have relied
on mushrooms to provide a wholesome food source. Over thousands of years
of trial and error, many cultures have also discovered health benefits
associated with consuming mushrooms. These health benefits are almost
as broad as those found in the plant kingdom and range from immune and
respiratory support to promoting healthy liver and brain function.
Societies soon discovered mushrooms can boost vitality, wellness,
endurance, and even sexual function. Today, more than fifty years of
research has confirmed that mushrooms are indeed a unique class of
natural therapeutics capable of addressing a wide range of health
concerns.
Mushrooms were long-conceived to be members of the plant kingdom, but
closer inspection revealed that they share more similarities with
animals. Hence, they were assigned their own kingdom- the fungal
kingdom. While plants manufacture their own food source from the sun
(photosynthesis), mushrooms must find and absorb their food from their
environment -just like humans. Mushrooms must also adapt to their
environments and protect themselves. In doing so, they produce a large
array of protective compounds designed to defend against any invaders-
also like humans. Incredibly, when humans consume these novel
mushroom-derived compounds, our defenses against the environment are
also enhanced.
 Whole Mushroom Life Cycle
New Chapter believes in the wisdom of nature and the promise of whole
food. We believe the combination and preservation of the whole mushroom
– and its complete life cycle – is essential.
LifeShield Mushroom formulas by New Chapter deliver tonic mushrooms'
whole protective shield by combining mycelium, enriched extracellular
compounds, fruiting bodies, and spores formed during an extended growth
cycle of up to 120 days. Each stage of a mushroom's life cycle adds
critical nutrients and protection for the mushroom. The combination of
these stages creates the activated
LifeShield to promote your health and
wellness.
Because New Chapter respects the “whole” mushroom, delivers the wisdom
of nature and uses both science and tradition to guide their
formulations, they have created the first and only full line of
mushrooms that guarantee a minimum of 15% content of full spectrum beta-glucans
(including 1,3 & 1,6 beta-glucans).
Liver Detoxification
The liver is responsible for detoxification of harmful chemicals in our
environment and food and for responding to a wide range of biological
challenges such as parasites, microbes and viruses. It manufactures key
compounds such as cholesterol and glutathione. And it is under great
stress and challenge today. For thousands of years, traditional medicine
has turned to specific healing mushrooms to promote the normal
functioning of the liver in its all-important tasks.
LifeShield Liver Force is formulated with select species of tonic
mushrooms, to promote healthy liver function and detoxification.
Liver
Force combines species both revered traditionally and researched
extensively for liver support. One of the mushrooms included in Liver
Force is called Coriolus (Trametes versicolor or Turkey Tail). It
functions as a liver tonic, promotes normal cell growth, and modulates
immune function.
Combined, Turmericforce and Liver Force help provide a natural and
balanced approach to liver health.
