Antronex® contains yakriton, a liver fat extract discovered by Japanese researchers that is used to support the body's normal detoxification mechanisms.*
Supports the liver and the body's natural immune system function*
How does Antronex help maintain a healthy liver?
Antronex contains a bovine liver fat extract known as yakriton. Bovine liver fat extract is used to support the body’s normal detoxification mechanisms.1,2Yakriton was first written about by Japanese scientists in 1926 and was studied in animal and some human research for almost 30 years. The human and animal studies on yakriton provide varied results, but the bovine liver fat in Antronex is used to support liver detoxification processes.*
How does Antronex support the body’s natural immune system function?
Antronex contains 4 percent of the recommended daily value for calcium. This mineral is a vital part of a healthy diet and is necessary as part of many body systems. In conjunction with liver fat extract, calcium in this supplement supports the proper functioning of certain white blood cells3 and is part of the cellular response mechanism that prepares lymphocytes to act on behalf of the immune system. Even though the human body requires calcium daily for many different reasons, it may be lacking in the diets of women, the elderly, adolescents, and those who cannot consume dairy products.5,6*
