Liver Support provides a broad combination of traditional herbs and nutrients involved in the liver’s pathways of detoxification, to process, neutralise and remove damaging toxins from the body.
Milk thistle and dandelion are two liver-tonic herbs that are traditionally used in Western herbal medicine (WHM) to maintain and support natural liver cleansing and detoxification processes in the body.
Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine as cholagogues, compounds that stimulate the contraction of the gall bladder, these two herbs promote bile flow from the gall bladder and release of stored bile. As digestive tonics, milk thistle and dandelion also support digestion function and reduce symptoms of indigestion such as bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, flatulence and loss of appetite.
Milk thistle, has two main active compounds- silymarin and silybin- that are considered protective and regenerative to the liver, via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms and other pharmacological actions, that prevent the uptake of toxins.
Globe Artichoke is another cholagogue herb, known to aid bile flow and improve the function of the digestive system. It is traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to relieve loss of appetite and sluggish digestion.
Liver Support delivers potent detoxifying properties of herbs and essential nutrients to support the liver’s detoxification processes, protect against cellular damage, and promote overall liver and digestive health.
