Daily Balancer is one of the Wellness Resources daily formulas, nutrients that I believe are needed by everyone for optimal health and well being. Daily Balancer is formulated to protect you from toxins and pollution, helping your liver do its daily work that is vital to your health and well being.*

Granted, Daily Balancer wouldn’t be a daily formula if not for the fact that we live in a polluted environment and encounter multiple man-made toxins on a regular basis that we have little genetic experience dealing with. These toxins can damage your brain, your liver and kidneys, the DNA of your cells, irritate your cardiovascular system, throw a monkey wrench into thyroid function, and generally interfere with metabolism.

I don’t believe that most people understand just how serious the problem is for any person of any age.

Once upon a time our Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a program called the National Human Adipose Tissue Survey (NHATS). In 1982 and again in 1987 it analyzed human fat samples from cadavers from across the country – looking for the types of toxins that accumulate in human fat. Four industrial solvents and one dioxin were found in 100% of the fat samples. Another 9 chemicals, including 3 more dioxins and 1 furan were found in over 90% of the fat samples. In general, 83% of the fat samples contained PCBs.

It is important to understand that toxins only sore in fat when your natural detoxification system cannot keep up with demands. To find over 90% of fat samples with serious amounts of toxic chemicals means that all Americans are being exposed to too much pollution – more than their body’s can readily dispose of.

Tracking this data was mandated by law, the funding for which was conveniently cut from the budget by the Reagan administration (unfortunately that administration, like all since, have been pollution friendly). The final reports are now mysteriously missing from the above EPA website, but were reported on rather thoroughly in Alternative Medicine Review, and dioxin and furan levels from this data were specifically analyzed by the American Public Health Association.

These chemicals accumulate in the food chain in animal, dairy, and fish – which are then consumed by humans. We don’t actually know how bad the exposure is right now, but PBCs last hundreds of years and decompose into even more toxic dioxins and furans (dioxins and furans are also produced as part of industrial pollution today). We do know that a 2007 EPA report shows that farm soil across America is polluted with PCBs and related chemicals.

Daily Balancer contains truly helpful levels of potent liver-protecting and natural detoxification compounds, and the core of that support is based on chlorella (a natural toxin chelator), milk thistle/silymarin (an herb that protects your liver and brain from toxins), and R-alpha lipoic acid (a potent protector of your liver and nerves). Other cofactor nutrients are included that help with various aspects of detoxification, including trans-resveratrol, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), taurine, glycine, ornithine Alpha-ketoglutarate, and carnosine.*

The combination of nutrients in Daily Balancer gives you comprehensive support to help your liver with various detoxification systems (referred to as Phase 1 and Phase 2). There are plenty of stressors in today’s world, and pollution is high on that list for one and all. The reason I made Daily Balancer a daily formula was because of this pervasive pollution problem in our society. It is wise to support your natural detoxification systems as part of a basic health program.*
