Epinephrine
Epinephrine, also known as adrenalin or adrenaline, is a hormone, neurotransmitter and medication.[3][4] Epinephrine is normally produced by both the adrenal glands and certain neurons.[3] It plays an important role in the fight-or-flight response by increasing blood flow to muscles, output of the heart, pupil dilation, and blood sugar.[5][6] It does this by binding to alpha and beta receptors.[6] It is found in many animals and some single cell organisms.[7][8] Napoleon Cybulski first isolated epinephrine in 1895.[9]
Endothelial
Endothelium is a type of epithelium that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels,[1] forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall. It is a thin layer of simple squamous cells called endothelial cells. Endothelial cells in direct contact with blood are called vascular endothelial cells, whereas those in direct contact with lymph are known as lymphatic endothelial cells.
Atheroscleroticrotic
Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells (foam cells) and proliferation of intimal-smooth-muscle cell creating an atheromatous (fibrofatty) plaque.[1][2]
Dysbiosis
An imbalance in life in the gut
Surcalose
Surcalose is a chlorinated sugar which is most often found in insecticides
-by taking regular, moderate, or high indigestion of surcalose is like taking a tiny dose of antibiotic on a daily basis. It’s not hard to see how this would contribute to dysbiosis and microbial imbalance in the gut especially with ongoing use
Glutathione
Bodies most important powerful antioxidant
-also glutathione is the escort that the body specifically uses to get rid of heavy metals
