(abnormal or pathological condition) within the blood vessels or
musculature that leads to the onset of degenerative or
debilitative conditions associated with various forms of anemia
or anemic disorders (including aplastic, cerebral, hypochromic,
nutritional, pernicious or sickle cell), and eliminates any form
of cachexia (state of malnourishment and general debility)
throughout the blood vessels and musculature; displays
significant antioxidant effects in order to enhance the transport

(cerebro-spinal centers) and peripheral nervous systems; displays
antioxidant properties in order to prevent any free-radical
damage, and inhibits the primary absorption of various toxins
while preventing their reabsorption (due to enterohepatic
circulation); protects the entire organism from the deleterious
effects of toxic chemicals, such as carbon tetrachloride,
galactosamine, ethanol and proseodymium nitrate; inhibits any
adverse or harmful effects associated with toxic residues or
accumulated deposits from DDT, dioxin, PCB or PCP, prescription
or recreational drugs, alcoholic beverages or food additives, due
to the presence of flavones or flavanolignins such as silymarin
(a complex mixture of silybin, apigenin, silydianin, silybonal
and silychristin); prevents any toxic poisons from penetrating
through the cellular membranes or into the interior of various
cells by competing with them for the same site of occupancy,
thereby inhibiting them from entering or overcoming the nucleus
of the cell itself; increases the redox state and total
glutathione content in the liver, stomach and intestines, and
accelerates the overall improvement of increased serum levels of
GOT (glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase), GPT (glutamic-pyruvic
transaminase), and Gamma-GT (gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase);
enhances the activity of certain compounds in the nucleus of the
cell in order to stimulate various RNA factors that increase
protein production and synthesis within the cell, thereby
accelerating the process of cellular regeneration; accelerates
the regeneration of cellular tissue by activating cellular
protein synthesis through the stimulation of nuclear polymerase A
activity, which activates the ribosomal RNA and the subsequent
production of protein in order to build and nourish healthy new
cells; displays biocatalytic activity in order to enhance greater
assimilation of those essential nutrients that are necessary for
the increased production of energy and vitality, thereby
accelerating certain rejuvenative processes associated with the
repair of any damaged blood vessels or muscles throughout the
entire organism; acts as a biocatalyst in order to accelerate and
accentuate the transport of all the other herbal ingredients
throughout the entire organism to specific areas of the body
(especially the bloodstream and musculature), and exhibits
circulatory stimulant activity in order to permeate the entire
organism (both internally and externally) with greater warmth and
movement by supporting the innate warmth that resides in the
blood and muscle tissues; acts as a cell proliferant in order to

activity in order to inhibit the normal aging process within the
blood vessels or muscles, thereby extending the overall lifespan
of the various cells and tissue-systems throughout the entire
organism; demonstrates powerful adaptogenic (balancing and
strengthening) activity in order to increase the overall
resistance of an organism towards any adverse influences or
stressful conditions (whether they be physical, chemical or
biological in nature), especially upon the blood vessels,
musculature, immune system, and both the central (cerebro-spinal
centers) and peripheral nervous systems; exhibits
immuno-potentiating and immuno-stimulatory effects in order to
enhance greater long-term immune potential and overall
non-specific systemic immunity (or immune cell activity) and
increased immune response (by activating the body's natural
defense mechanisms), particularly in relation to the repair and
restoration of any damaged muscles or connective tissues
throughout the entire organism; acts as a secretolytic stimulant
in order to promote increased gastric, pancreatic or intestinal
secretory and motor activity, and enhances greater peripheral

utilization, thereby accelerating the healing processes
associated with the repair of any damaged blood vessels or
tissue-systems throughout the entire musculature; acts as an
effective nutritive and rejuvenative tonic to the blood vessels
muscles during convalescence (due to the presence of rich sources
of calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, protein,
selenium, zinc, and vitamins A and B12) in order to enrich, nourish and
replenish any nutritional deficiencies or insufficiency within
the cells or tissues throughout the entire body, which leads to
