Vitamin C And Bioflavonoids

Arteriosclerosis (Hardening of the Arteries):

A little note here: ascorbic acid will
not cure scurvy alone. You’ll need some bioflavonoids too, which are found in the same fruits (usually in the skins) that contain vitamin C. The white skin beneath the outer skin of an orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit is rich in bioflavonoids.

Nettle Frees Testosterone

T NATION | Altered States: Achieving the Dick of Death:

"When too much of your Testosterone is bound up by SHBG, Testosterone isn't free to do its thing.

Luckily, concentrated extracts from the nettle root bind to SHBG instead of Testosterone, thus reducing SHBG's Testosterone-binding capability and increasing the amount of free Testosterone in the blood stream.

Nettle root is also a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which means that it prevents Testosterone from converting to DHT, the hormone that's known to be implicated in hair loss and prostate enlargement."

Cranberry Juice Help Eliminate Stubborn Fat

T NATION | Liver Let Die:

"...cranberry juice cleanses the lymphatic system, which can help eliminate stubborn fat. Specifically, it helps provide nutritional support through phytonutrients (anthocyanins, catechins, luteins, and quercetin) for the liver's cytochrome P450 Phase 1 and 2 detoxification pathways"

"How does it work? The lymphatic system is responsible for carrying toxins away from the cells and body tissues. The phytonutrients in cranberry juice help to keep your liver's detoxification pathways open, so they aren't jammed up cleaning up the mess left behind by the host of environmental pollutants, trans-fats, sugars, etc. In other words, it helps "take out the trash.""
