Taiga Pine Needle Extract 90 caps

As a galenical complex extracted from live conifer needle.

Bioeffective® A (CGNC) is the result of an 80 year research program that began in Russia at the St Petersburg Forest Technical Academy (FTA) in the 1930s.

The aim was to isolate the "live elements" responsible for the phenomenal natural endurance of conifers.

Bioeffective® A (CGNC) is a complex substance with in excess of 300 known components. It is derived from the green needles of Pinus sylvestris (55%) and Picea abies (L.) Karst (45%).

To date global research into the highly therapeutic Bioeffectives® family has involved more than 4.5 million DSc / PhD man hours, it is arguably the worlds largest ever botanical research program and continues to this day.

Bioeffective® A (CGNC) has in excess of 300 components which act synergistically on multiple levels; cleansing and detoxifying the body via important regulatory processes, aiding the removal of heavy metals, repairing and fighting cellular damage from oxidative stresses, boosting the immune system and acting as an anti-microbial. Chlorophyll has been reported to induce liver detoxification pathways potentially aiding the removal of toxic substances from internal organs. Resin acids selectively kill pathogenic microbial cells whilst maintaining the health of the body's cells. The ability of resin acids to induce microbial cell lysis (bursting) is linked to their structure & hydrophobicity. Polyprenols are metabolised in the liver to dolichols. Dolichols are essential to health due to their role as lipid-transporters in maintaining protein glycosylation. They have also been demonstrated to exhibit strong hepatoprotective properties. Phytosterols (primarily β-sitosterol) aid in lowering serum total cholesterol, and in reducing the level of "atherogenic" classes of lipoproteins. Squalene may contribute to cleansing and detoxifying by acting as a sink for lipophilic xenobiotics, such as antibiotics, helping to remove drug residues from the body as well as aiding skin repair.
