Purus Labs maintains its focus on bringing you safe, anabolism-inducing product stacks by engineering the most pivotal protection compliment to any “pro-anabolic” cycle. Organ Shield™ was specifically designed to support, protect, and restore hepatic (liver), prostatic (prostate), and cardiovascular (heart) function already in healthy range during times of high stress. This blend of specific antioxidants, flavanoids, and phytonutrients scavenges free radicals preventing them from attacking healthy cells as well repairing damaged cells. 365 days a year, whether ON-cycle or OFF-cycle, this is a must for any serious athletes’ arsenal!
Milk Thistle
The antioxidant milk thistle has been used since Greco-Roman times to aid in maintaining healthy liver function. Several studies suggest milk thistle protects the liver from
damaging toxins such as alcohol and certain drugs. The active component most responsible
for milk thistle’s detoxifying effects is called silymarin. This substance is
comprised of several flavonolignands that help repair liver cells damaged by toxins
as well as protecting healthy liver cells.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
NAC, arguably the pinnacle antioxidant, consists of the amino acid cysteine joined
with an acetyl group causing it to be more soluble and more biovailable than L-Cysteine
alone. NAC, basically a precursor to glutathione, donates cystiene to form glutathione
which is found in the body and produced in the liver. NAC has been shown in studies
to prevent cell death and possibly act as a ph buffer.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Alpha Lipoic Acid is quite possibly the most novel, multifaceted, and important antioxidants
available today. It neutralizes free radicals in both the aqueous and lipid portions
of cells, is a key player in the synergism of other antioxidants extending the metabolic
life of glutathione and Coenzyme Q-10, can bolster healthy liver function,
has blood lipid modulating properties that support lowered cardiac risk factors, and enhances insulin function speeding the removal of glucose from
the bloodstream and ushering it into muscles.
Beta-Sitosterol
Beta-Sitosterol is one of many phytosterols,
phytochemicals naturally occurring in plants,
whose structure closely resembles cholesterol. Its
major mechanism of action is thought to be by preventing
the absorption of dietary fat in the intestines where
fat is digested by increasing the flow of cholesterol binding bile acids
in the digestive track excreting it in the feces.
Rich in phytosterols and fatty acids, Saw Palmetto has been studied for its potential to sustain healthy prostate function. This is largely due to its supposed ability to inhibit 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT, and interfering with DHT’s binding ability to androgen receptors.
Quercetin
A highly active flavonoid, Quercitin, is yet another fierce antioxidant scavenging free radicals within the body.
Coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10)
