LIVER HEALTH

SILYMARIN- the flavonoid complex from Milk Thistle, is a well-researched way to improve liver function. It contains some of the most potent substances that protect the liver. Silymarin acts as an antioxidant, preventing free radical damage. It stimulates the production of new liver cells, and also protects the kidneys. We recommend everyone cleanse their liver periodically. Especially important for the occasional drinker, smokers, and those with liver conditions. SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine)- SAMe is the liver super-nutrient. There are over 1000 published studies that document the ability of this bioactive form of methionine to prevent & treat liver disorders, including cancer. SAMe does 2 crucial things that normalize liver function: It methylates, and converts into glutathione, the liver's most vital substance. SAMe plays a leading role in liver regeneration. Glutathione is the liver's natural antioxidant, and crucial for liver health & functioning. Liver disease, such as cirrhosis, is free radical damage from lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, and one of the biochemical consequences being glutathione depletion. That is why SAMe, from which glutathione is synthesized, is so crucial for liver health. GLUTATHIONE- Read above for information on this nutrient. VITAMIN C- A cost-efficient way to raise glutathione levels. LIVER/GALL BLADDER- A combination of herbs, including milk thistle. Excellent for overall liver and gall bladder health.
