The liver, the gut and lymphatic system all need to be supported to ensure adequate detoxification and prevent mitochondrial damage.

It is important we care for ourselves well in our earlier years so that we can maintain vitality as we age. Our DNA through epigenetics responds to our dietary and lifestyle choices by changing phenotype creating either healthy resistance to ageing or accelerated deterioration with age.

Whilst food is the most powerful tool we have to change our life it has its limitations. This is where supplements come into play and can be incredibly powerful in plugging dietary gaps and acting as a bridge to optimal health. The demands of our modern day lifestyles, the erosion of soil and food quality and the over reliance on ultra-processed foods means we are simply not getting enough of the nutrients we need to thrive through food.
