Yellow dock is most often used for its ability to facilitate detoxification. The cleansing ability of the plant can help with many functions. For instance, it is a powerful blood cleanser and lymph cleanser, inciting and increasing the action of lymph glands throughout the entire body.
Organic Ginseng:
On a molecular level, the components in Ginseng (called ginsenosides and saponins) support the functional efficiency of the liver. Ginseng is one of the main ingredients that will assist with cleaning your system of weed for your urinalysis. While the liver actually performs over 500 different jobs, the three main functions are:
Creates Bile – The liver must always work at its maximum because it has the important job of creating bile. A healthy and efficient liver can remove more unwanted bacteria.
Filters The Body Of Toxins – Especially for detectable drug elements like cannabis, the liver detoxifies our body, and Ginseng is a natural detox supplement that helps keep our liver working efficiently.
Metabolic Purification – The liver also breaks down the body’s own wastes or in this case left over detectable marijuana toxins and helps convert nutrients for the blood stream. An added benefit of Ginseng is that it is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which will assist you in feeling rejuvenated during the detox period. Most people rely on vegetables and fruits to get their essential vitamins and minerals. What they don’t know is the large number of fruits and veggies needed to equal the proper dose is almost impossible to achieve in our nutrient-poor modern diets! In a single serving, Ginseng delivers many of the essential nutrients that keep your liver happy and functioning at an optimal level.
Organic Potassium:
Potassium is the balancing mineral, but we usually just use it to maintain proper fluid levels because it’s an electrolyte. But potassium balances the levels of other minerals, like sodium. So if you get too much or too little of a mineral, potassium helps your body process it. Potassium is a conduit to using all other minerals properly. It’s also an electrolyte which spreads energy to muscles, cells, tissues, and organs, ensuring everything is working as it should. It also removes waste from your cells – potassium is the cellular detox mineral and the exact reason that Verdant Herbals has included it in our marijuana detox formula.
L-Glutamine:
Glutamine has two nitrogen atoms in the form of an alpha-amino group and an amide group. Because of these two nitrogen groups, glutamine is able to shuttle nitrogen back and forth throughout the body. It is estimated that one-third of all amino-acid nitrogen is transported by the blood in the form of glutamine.
The liver and kidneys play key roles in managing this nitrogen-containing compound. The liver is able to detoxify the blood by removing excess ammonia from venous blood and converting it to glutamine to keep the blood from becoming toxic. On the other hand, the kidneys are able to make ammonia from glutamine and excrete it as necessary. These functions show the importance of glutamine in the body, and that it helps regulate the acid/base balance and keep blood healthy.
Mullien:
Mullein is a great herb for lungs clearing. It's for this reason that we included it in our unique formula. It removes THC remnants as well as alleviates and soothes and side-effect of quitting smoking weed. Its leaves and flower can be used for soothing nasal passages. Is has been used as an herbal remedy for respiratory problems like asthma, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Fenugreek:
Fenugreek is used as an herb (dried or fresh leaves), spice (seeds), and vegetable (fresh leaves, sprouts, and microgreens). They contain alkaloids (mainly trigonelline) and protein high in lysine (Lysine is an essential amino acid needed for growth and to help maintain nitrogen balance in the body.) and L-tryptophan. Its steroidal saponins are thought to inhibit cholesterol absorption and synthesis. Due to the potential uterine stimulating properties of fenugreek, which may cause miscarriages, fenugreek should not be used during pregnancy.
Organic Slippery Elm:
Some of the most interesting health benefits of slippery elm include its ability to reduce inflammation, soothe indigestion, heal the skin, eliminate infections, reduce blood pressure, increase blood flow, boost eye health, protect against ulcers, detoxify the body, aids in oral health, and improve respiratory health.
