This phytonutrient rich product supports Nrf2, which is a protein messenger that exists in every cell of the body. It sends information to the cell’s DNA. That DNA consists of about 25,000 genes. When the Nrf2 is activated it enters the nucleus of every cell and turns on several hundred of these 25,000 genes, which are known collectively as “survival genes.” These genes enable cells to survive the face of several different kinds of stress, especially oxidative stress which results from the over production of free radicals and other oxidants. Nrf2 also affects another hundred or so genes by turning them down, not up. Included in these genes are pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic genes. Nrf2 is expressed in all tissues, but levels vary, with higher levels in key detoxifying organs: the liver and kidneys.
