MetaClear 60 Tablets

Why choose MetaClear?

MetaClear has been expertly formulated by Metagenics to provide a high strength complex of well-researched vitamins, minerals and botanical extracts to support liver function. The liver is responsible for processing toxins we produce and are exposed to on a daily basis.

Key nutrients including vitamin B2, C and E play an essential role in protecting our cells from oxidative damage. Modern living can have a detrimental impact on our ability to protect against oxidative stress which causes damage to our cells, with factors such as chronic stress, environmental toxins and smoking all negatively contributing.

MetaClear contains choline, a vitamin-like substance which supports healthy liver function and the healthy metabolism (breakdown and absorption) of fats. Choline plays a similar role to the B vitamins in supporting metabolic processes in the body required for energy production. Is it also required for the transportation of fats from the liver to cells across the body, thereby ensuring fat does not accumulate in the liver.

Standardised Milk Thistle extract and other standardised botanical extracts including pomegranate, watercress, green tea and artichoke, have been included for their traditional use in supporting liver health. Artichoke supports normal blood lipid (fat) levels and normal liver function. It may help protect against free radical damage.

Alongside the amino acids glycine and taurine, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and alpha lipoic acid (ALA) also feature in this targeted formula. Both ALA and NAC are known for their ability to help increase levels of the body's master antioxidant glutathione which supports the body in the detoxification of toxins and carcinogens. Glutathione also has the ability to recycle other antioxidants, as well as protect cells from oxidative damage.

Why is it important to use standardised botanical extracts?

Standardised extracts ensure a consistent level of active ingredient. For example, we can guarantee that every two tablets of MetaClear will contain 50mg green tea, providing 50% polyphenols, 20-30% catechins and between 7 and 13% EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) - the active components of green tea. Extracts which are not standardised will not guarantee a particular level of active ingredient.

When would you use MetaClear versus UltraClear Plus pH?

Both MetaClear and UltraClear Plus pH provide excellent support for healthy liver function. MetaClear is a convenient 2/day tablet formulation which may suit those who prefer tablets over powders, or those who are busy and on the move. UltraClear is a powder, which makes it easy to increase or decrease the dose as required, and can be made up into a delicious shake or smoothie.
