Toxicity is more common that you think. Just because we can’t see it or mostly feel it directly doesn’t make it any less harmful. We all are exposed to a variety of toxins on a regular basis. The most common toxins include heavy metals – arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. These toxins can be found in water, fish, canned food, cosmetic products, dental fillings, lead-based paint, cigarettes, and even flavored milk. The symptoms of heavy metal exposure include headaches, nausea, and constant fatigue. If exposed to dangerous levels of toxins over a long period of time, it can even result in severe diseases.

Your liver is your best friend against toxic chemicals. As the largest internal organ, the liver’s primary function is to detox and purify the blood before passing it to the rest of the body. Even with this natural defense, your body can easily get overburdened when it lacks a nutritious diet and especially when exposed to high levels of external toxicity. Consumption of various superfoods can provide the much-needed support for detoxification.

Hepatoprotection literally means protection of liver from hepatotoxicity – chemical driven liver damage. As the largest internal organ, liver’s primary function is to detox and purify blood before circulating it to the rest of the body.

Absolutely! URBL SHIELD offers milk thistle, which is known for its superior hepatoprotective qualities and is one of the most well researched plants in the treatment of liver disease. It is traditionally used as a liver protectant.

URBL SHIELD offers a potent and “highly recommended” grade of milk thistle seed extract with 80% silymarin content. Silymarin, the functional bioactive compound in milk thistle, is a potent antioxidant comprising of several flavonoid compounds. Silymarin reduces free radical production and acts as a toxin blockage agent by inhibiting binding of toxins to liver cells. It is found in high quantities in the seeds of milk thistle.

Remember to drink lots of water and urinate frequently, which helps to flush out the toxins from the body.

Please refer to URBL SHIELD for further details.

You can enjoy the peace of mind knowing that all URBL shots are tested for heavy metal contamination by an independent bio-analytical testing laboratory. In fact, every single production batch is run through more than 15 different tests for contamination by heavy metals, pesticides, and other harmful compounds, ensuring the botanical shots are safe to drink and of the highest quality.

Oxidation is a natural and regularly occurring chemical reaction that creates free radicals and has a similar effect on the human body as it has on metal structures – rusting of parts and reduction in strength. Oxidation of human body can damage healthy cells and weaken its immune system.

Free radicals are unstable and potentially dangerous molecules created as natural byproducts of oxidation. Free radicals are unstable because they lack a full complement of electrons. Thus, they steal electrons from other stable molecules, thereby damaging those healthy molecules in the process. Free radicals are one of the main causes of age-related decline in health as our body loses its ability to fight the effects of free radicals with age. An imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants is known as oxidative stress, which can lead to premature aging and other diseases like:

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Parkinson’s
• Alzheimer’s
• Severe inflammatory conditions

Antioxidants are organic compounds that can counteract unstable free radicals that damage DNA, cell membranes, and other part of body cells. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by giving up some of their own electrons. When free radicals gain additional electrons from antioxidants, they no longer need to attack healthy body cells. Through this sacrifice, antioxidants act as natural “off” switch for free radicals.

Although it is impossible to avoid a certain level of oxidative damage, an antioxidant rich diet of herbs, roots, fruits, greens, and vegetables can go a long way in reducing the impact of free radicals on the body. Because free radicals are so pervasive, you need an adequate supply of antioxidants to disarm them. Regular, moderate physical activity has also been associated with higher levels of antioxidants, fewer noticeable effects of aging, and a decreased risk of diseases.

As the most abundant protein in our body, collagen is a major building block of bones, skin, nails, hair, muscles and connective tissues. Think of it as the glue that holds everything together. Our body has a natural ability to produce collagen by combining two essential amino acids glycine and proline. Collagen deficiency, however, can lead to premature and excessive signs of aging, wrinkles, sagging skin, and stiff joints, among others. Cosmetic benefits of collagen are increasingly being realized, especially by female consumers for its contribution towards a youthful and glowing skin.

Absolutely! URBL GLOW provides a blend of herbal extracts that helps boost your body’s natural production of collagen. No, it’s not added collagen. In our quest to develop a natural / plant based product, we refrained from adding chemically sourced collagen powder that is always animal/marine derived.

URBL GLOW contains amalaki that has been called as “the Ayurvedic wonder”, as it supports everything from digestion to elimination, immunity, and outer and inner skin health. Amalaki extract promotes “procollagen and elastin production”, keeping your skin looking naturally fresh and healthy. Certain studies have concluded that amalaki contains as much as 10x vitamin C compared to an orange and is also a potent immunity booster.

URBL GLOW also contains Hydromeric® turmeric that boasts a concentration of powerful curcuminoids found only in turmeric root. Highly water soluble extract is readily absorbed in the body with increased bioavailability. Turmeric helps to increase collagen deposits in skin – no wonder it is widely used in the cosmetic industry.

Please refer to URBL GLOW for further details.

Himalayan salt contains more than 80 minerals and trace elements and helps you replenish electrolytes.

We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint to every extent possible.

Despite the stigma plastic carries, we have proudly made the decision to use PET bottles instead of glass – mainly to achieve the lowest environmental impact. Yes, you read it correct. PET bottles, vis-à-vis with glass bottles, have an overall lower environmental impact. Although glass ranks better when only recyclability is considered, the heavier weight of glass and breakage/shrinkage lead to a substantially higher CO2-impact (think transportation & storage emissions) and environmental cost for glass. We’ll let the experts explain in detail – Glass vs. Plastic, what is more environmentally friendly?
