Kutkins

Why You Need It

• Liver Guardian: Acts as a potent shield for liver cells against toxins and pollutants.
• Antioxidant Powerhouse: Neutralizes free radicals that damage cells and accelerate aging.
• Bile Flow Booster: Supports the healthy secretion of bile, essential for digesting fats and absorbing nutrients.
• Inflammation Manager: Helps soothe systemic inflammation, keeping your immune response balanced.

Deep Dive

Kutkin functions primarily by activating the Nrf2 pathway, which is essentially your body's 'emergency response system' for cellular stress. When triggered, this pathway ramps up the production of antioxidant enzymes, fortifying your liver cells. Additionally, Kutkin increases the levels of glutathione, the body's 'master antioxidant.' This dual action helps prevent the accumulation of harmful substances in the liver and supports the regeneration of damaged hepatocytes (liver cells). It is particularly beneficial for those exposed to environmental toxins, heavy alcohol consumption, or those managing metabolic syndrome.

Natural Food Sources

Unlike Vitamin C found in oranges, Kutkin is not found in standard fruits or vegetables. It is a unique secondary metabolite exclusive to the Kutki plant (Picrorhiza kurrooa). Therefore, 'food sources' in the traditional sense do not apply; we obtain it through herbal preparations.

Supplementation

Since you cannot eat enough of the raw plant to get a therapeutic dose, supplementation is the standard route.

Standard Dosage:

• Extracts: 200mg to 400mg daily, standardized to contain 3-6% Kutkin.
• Best Practice: Take with a meal to enhance absorption and reduce potential stomach sensitivity.

Who should take it?

• Individuals with elevated liver enzymes.
• Those undergoing pharmaceutical treatments that stress the liver (always consult a doctor).
• People with high oxidative stress or poor digestion of fats.
