The Unique Role of the Liver
The Liver has considerable responsibilities in maintaining the health of the human
body. It produces bile for the breakdown of food and breaks down excess hormones like
cholesterol and estrogen. It also metabolizes proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Perhaps none of the liver's responsibilities are more important than its role in the
neutralization of many toxic compounds which could potentially cause catastrophic damage
to our bodies.
Many of these compounds (oxidized fats, artificial preservatives and flavors) are
routinely ingested with our food and in detoxification puts it's cells at a particular
risk of damage or destruction

health and is continuously exposed to noxious compounds, it's protection is vital for the
achievement of optimal health.

have all been shown to protect and improve the health and functioning of the liver;
supplementation with these herbs could have a profoundly positive effect on general
health.
Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) contains a group of
compounds known collectively as silymarin. Silymarin has been shown in studies to be one
of the most effective liver-protective substances known to science.(1.)
Silymarin is a potent antioxidant. It is ten times
stronger than Vitamin E (2.) This antioxidant activity protects the liver and other parts
of the body from the harmful effects of free radicals, a group of toxic compounds which
cause cellular damage.
Silymarin also helps to protect the liver from free
radicals by stimulating the production of glutathione.(3.) Glutathione forms the basic
foundation for building several powerful antioxydant enzymes. Like Vitamin E and silymarin
itself, these enzymes convert highly toxic free radicals into harmless compounds
