The Root of Liquorice, Marshmallow & Glycine

Liquorice

Liquorice is used a supplement to treat a variety of illnesses and conditions as it promotes the production of mucous. This is important as mucous is involved in the body’s first line of defence against pathogens. Liquorice is therefore often used to treat a sore throat or to help recovery from respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis. Furthermore, mucous protects the tissue of the stomach from the acid contained within it so liquorice can be useful when treating stomach ulcers and acid reflux as it allows tissues to regenerate and heal.

Marshmallow Root

Another supplement that is used to treat coughs and colds is Marshmallow root as it acts as an enzyme, loosening mucous and inhibiting bacteria. Therefore, these two supplements prove very effective when taken together to treat colds and general respiratory irritation. Marshmallow root is also anti-inflammatory so it can act as an analgesic as well as reducing inflammation in the gut. Marshmallow root can promote tissue regeneration, protecting the lining of the digestive tract.

Glycine

Glycine is one of the twenty amino acids produced by the body and is essential in the production of many molecules, for example, Glutathione. Glutathione is an important antioxidant and is essential in protecting the body from harmful free radicals formed in cellular processes.

Glycine is also the primary amino acid in Collagen which is essential for bone, cartilage, skin and muscle strength and supplementing Glycine can be beneficial in supporting the body’s natural production of Collagen. Supplementing Glycine can prevent alcohol-induced liver damage by stimulating the metabolism of alcohol by the stomach instead of the liver which prevents the development of fatty liver and therefore alcohol cirrhosis.

At the Levitas Clinic Guildford we offer one supplement called Nutriflux, which contains all three of these compounds to promote wellness and help the functioning of the body on a cellular level.

Tim Lodge: A Journey of Resilience, Recovery, and Triumph

My name is Tim Lodge, and I am proud to represent Great Britain as a Paralympic canoeist. At 53 years old, I reflect on a journey that has been anything but ordinary one defined by perseverance, transformation, and the unwavering belief that it’s never too late to rewrite your story. I was born with a gross talipes disability. By the age of 10, I had already undergone 22 operations and endured 59 anaesthetics. My left foot alone carries 13 pins and plates a daily reminder of the challenges I’ve faced from the very beginning. Despite this, I always believed in pushing forward. Canoeing was a passion of mine as a teenager, but life took me down a different path. For over two decades, I worked in the corporate world. Then, in 2013, everything changed. I received an unexpected call from my former canoeing coach, who asked if I’d consider training as a Paralympic athlete. At that time, I was far from being in shape, but something inside me said “yes.” That moment sparked a transformation that would define the rest of my life. Re-entering the world of elite sport after 20 years was no small feat. But with dedication and […]

Unlock Longevity with the Power of Personalized B Vitamins –Buzz with the B’s !

What if your daily dose of B vitamins could do more than just boost energy? At Levitas Clinics, we believe personalized B vitamin support can be the key to greater longevity, helping you feel vibrant and youthful no matter your age. With a unique, genetic-based approach, we tailor your B vitamin regimen to fit your body’s specific needs, unlocking the full potential of these essential nutrients. Why B Vitamins Are the Key to Lasting Energy and Vitality B vitamins—including B12, B6, and folate—are fundamental for: Sustained Energy: Helping your body convert food into lasting energy. Mental Clarity and Mood: Supporting focus, memory, and a balanced mood. Heart and Cellular Health: Maintaining circulation and cellular repair, vital for long-term health. But here’s the twist: not everyone’s body uses B vitamins in the same way. Our genetics play a big role in how well we absorb and use them, and understanding your unique genetic “blueprint” can unlock optimal results. How Your Genes Influence Your Vitamin Needs MTHFR Gene and Folate (B9) Some people have a gene variant that affects how their body processes folate, a crucial B vitamin. Think of MTHFR as a “gate” that folate must pass through. For those with […]
