Anthraquinone- fight enzymes that break down collagen in the body, which may slow down the aging process, helps regulate smooth digestion
Terpenes- help with cell rejuvenation increasing nutrient-ion exchange
Phytonutrients and Selenium- antioxidant protection against free radicals
Soluble fiber- helps clean blood, decreases cholesterol, binds to fat, balances blood sugar levels
Insoluble fiber- important for colon health
