Toxic substances exist almost everywhere in the world-in food, water, or air. The organ primarily responsible for eliminating toxins from the body is the liver. If this system is impaired, chronic health problems, such as inflammatory conditions and neurological disease, may develop. An unhealthy liver does not detoxify substances as rapidly or as completely as a healthy liver, which creates a build up of toxic substances circulating in the body. Many of these toxins are fat-soluble and incorporate themselves into fatty body tissue, including brain and central nervous system cells. Stored toxins may be slowly released into the blood during times of exercise, stress, or fasting, contributing to many symptoms such as headaches, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue.

A healthy liver detoxifies these harmful substances by a complex series of chemical reactions, carried out by the action of two sequential stages referred to as Phase I and Phase II systems. Cruciferous vegetables are high on the list of foods that support detoxification, as well as Wasabia japonica, commonly known as wasabi or Japanese horseradish. This plant from the Brassica family of foods contains several chemical constituents called isothiocyanates that induce both Phase I and Phase II detoxification enzymes in the liver. Traditionally, wasabi has been served with raw fish dishes in Japan, because the active constituents within the plant may have been an antidote for food poisoning by killing microbes.

WasabiSol™ soft gelatin capsules are a unique formulation of Wasabia japonica. The Wasabia japonica rhizome powder found in WasabiSol™ soft gels is 100% pure, hydroponically grown, and contains all of the unique compounds found in the real wasabi plant. The soft gels prevent any moisture from coming into contact with the powder. The gelatin shells protect the delicate active ingredients until they can be properly activated in the digestive tract, thereby liberating the isothiocyanates to assist with liver detoxification.

Real wasabi no longer has to be a scarcity with WasabiSol™. Supplementation with this unique powder may significantly broaden the spectrum of isothiocyanates in the typical United States diet, and promote detoxification for better health.
