Description
Xymogen Cytokine Balance (Formerly Nrf2 Activator™)
Nrf2 Activator for Antioxidant and Detoxification Support
- Antioxidant Support
- Supports the Body’s Natural Detoxification Pathways
Cytokine Balance is an exclusive formula designed to activate the Nrf2 genetic pathway. This pathway regulates the production of important molecules that impart antioxidant activity, such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase (SOD). It also regulates the production of detoxification enzymes, including glutathione S-transferase, and downregulates signaling factors such as NF-κB.

Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor 2), a transcription factor in humans that is encoded by the NFE2L2 gene, regulates the expression of a set of antioxidant and detoxifying genes. Nrf2 is intricately involved in inhibiting proinflammatory cytokines, the chemical messengers communicating with cells and coordinating immune responses. In an unstressed state, Nrf2 is anchored in the cytoplasm by its specific inhibitor Keap1 (kelch like ECH-associated protein 1). Keap1 functions as a sensor for oxidants and electrophilic xenobiotics. In the presence of any of these substances, Keap1 gives up its inhibition of Nrf2. This action stabilizes Nrf2, allowing it to accumulate in the nucleus and bind to the antioxidant response element (ARE) located in the enhancers of its target genes. Under this circumstance, Nrf2 then upregulates a variety of antioxidant enzymes and detoxifying proteins.
