Liver Complex is a unique blend of natural elements taken form nature to assist in the cleansing, restoration, and protection of your valuable liver.
These herbal powders that make up the Liver Complex and herbal extracts help support liver function and relieve digestive disturbances. This blend contains milk thistle seed, dandelion herb, artichoke extract and turmeric+black pepper & fulvic-acid.
Silybum marianum, commonly known as milk thistle, is a flowering plant originally native to Southern Europe through to Asia. Milk thistle is a liver protective herb and may assist in digestive wellbeing.
As a liver support and liver aid, milk thistle acts as a powerful liver cleanser by rebuilding liver cells, reducing liver damage and removing toxins from the body that are processed through the liver.
Milk thistle is effective at naturally reversing toxicity in the body, including the harmful effects of alcohol consumption, pesticides in our food supply, heavy metals in our water supply and pollution in the air that we breathe.
Milk thistle has been historically used for a variety of liver diseases, including:
- alcoholic liver disease
- acute and chronic viral hepatitis
- toxin-induced liver diseases
Please Note:
Milk thistle may interact with some medications, including allergy medicines, anti-anxiety drugs and blood thinners, among others. If you are taking any medications, speak with your health care provider to prevent any milk thistle interactions before starting supplementation.
It also has estrogenic effects, meaning that it mimics the effects of estrogen in the body. If you have hormone-sensitive conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis or ovarian cancer, you should consult with your doctor before starting supplementation.
Also note that antioxidants like those found in milk thistle have been shown to possibly interfere with the efficacy of some cancer chemotherapy drugs by protecting cancer cells from cell death.
Taraxacum mongolicum, commonly known as dandelion, is an edible flowering plant with a history of use as a traditional medicine. This herb has been reported to be used for multiple purposes including the increase of bile flow and to assist in digestive disturbance relief.
Dandelion root benefits your liver, helping protect it from oxidative stress and keeping it working effectively.
A number of studies have found that dandelion root may be useful in the prevention and treatment of certain types of cancer, including liver cancer, leukemia, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer and prostate cancer.
For instance, a 2011 study out of Canada treated skin cancer cells with dandelion extract and found that it started killing off cancer cells within just 48 hours of treatment.
Another study in Oncotarget showed that dandelion root extract was able to kill 95 percent of colon cancer cells within two days.
Cynara scolymus, commonly known as artichoke, is a type of thistle cultivated as an edible food. Artichoke may assist in digestive disturbance relief.
Why are artichokes good for your liver? They contain a powerful antioxidant flavonoid called silymarin, which is an effective liver protectant.
Artichokes may even be able to help liver cells regenerate. A 2018 study found that artichoke extract supplementation increases antioxidant status in the liver, including levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione and glutathione peroxidase.
Another substance in artichoke nutrition called cynarin has also been shown to positively stimulate the production of bile, which is produced by the liver and ultimately responsible for enabling digestion and helping with the absorption of nutrients. Without proper bile production, a good diet cannot be used to foster health because many of the essential nutrients and fatty acids are not properly absorbed.
Curcuma longa, commonly known as Turmeric, is a flowering plant in the ginger family. Turmeric rhizomes are commonly used as a spice in cooking. Turmeric may aid digestion, help relieve flatulent dyspepsia, act as a liver protectant, increase bile excretion by the liver (choleretic) and stimulate contraction of the gallbladder.
Consumption of turmeric and curcumin is thought to help support the liver in efficiently detoxifying the body and fighting off some of the effects of dangerous carcinogens. For example, it may help defend against effects of environmental and dietary toxins known as xenobiotics.
This process operates in tandem with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents of turmeric, which together support various liver and immune functions.
Fulvic Acid, is a soil based organism and electrolyte that assists the body with detoxification and cellular health. Fulvic Acid has been shown to support liver health by helping to remove toxins from the body. The liver is the body’s primary detoxification organ, so keeping it healthy is essential for overall health.
One study demonstrated that fulvic acid may be useful in the liver cancer and related disorders.
