Cleansing and Restoration
The functions of
the liver are diverse, complex, and absolutely necessary for human metabolism.
As one of the primary organs of detoxification, the liver is exposed to a vast
array of chemicals, drugs and pollutants, especially in our modern world.
Traditionally, the following herbs have been used to promote the flow of bile,
cleanse, detoxify, and restore the liver:
N-Acetyl Cysteine, Dandelion Root, Silymarin, Turmeric
Fat Metabolism
The liver is the primary metabolizer of fats and cholesterol, so it is
particularly important to keep these substances circulating freely. Lipotropic
agents function to mobilize lipids and remove excess fats from the liver.
Choline, Inositol Antioxidant Defense
In the process of its metabolic and detoxification functions, the liver
generates and is exposed to many free radicals. The following antioxidant
compounds protect the protein, lipid and DNA of the liver from free radicals.
Vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 are active in cell membranes, while vitamin C and
lipoic acid function in the intracellular fluid.
Coenzyme Q10, N-Acetyl Cysteine, alpha-Lipoic Acid,
Silymarin, Turmeric, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamins C and E
Antioxidant Production
The liver synthesizes the antioxidant, glutathione, and the antioxidant
enzyme, glutathione peroxidase ? perhaps the most important antioxidants made by
the body. Glutathione peroxidase contains four selenium atoms. It catalyzes the
oxidation of glutathione, present in all animal cells at high concentration.
Cysteine is the rate-limiting factor for glutathione synthesis. These two
molecules safeguard cells against oxidation and maintain the integrity of red
blood cells.
N-Acetyl Cysteine, Selenium, Vitamin B-2 Energy
Generation
The liver requires a tremendous amount of energy to perform its diverse
metabolic functions, which include maintaining a normal blood glucose
concentration, forming cholesterol and phospholipids, and synthesizing amino
acids, plasma proteins and other important compounds. In addition, this vital
organ converts vitamins into their active co-enzyme forms and breaks down and
excretes drugs and hormones. The following nutrients are required by the liver
for its energy needs.
Coenzyme Q10, alpha-Lipoic Acid, Magnesium, Potassium,
Vitamins B-1, B-2, B-5, B-6 and B-12, Folic Acid, Niacin, Niacinamide
Suggested Use: 2 tablets daily with a meal,
