How It Works

Vitamin A

Vitamin A plays a crucial role in liver health. In fact, the liver is the main storage center for vitamin A. Vitamin A provides antioxidant properties that can help protect the liver from free radical damage. Vitamin A is also essential for protein digestion, maintaining good eyesight, promoting normal growth, and supporting healthy immune system defenses.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the liver from damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C also plays a protective role in liver health and influences lipid (fat) metabolism in the liver, supporting healthy liver function. Vitamin C is crucial for the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids—a process that helps eliminate cholesterol from the body.

Choline & Inositol

Both choline and inositol support liver health. Choline is essential for healthy liver function and is a vital nutrient involved in the metabolism of fats, including cholesterol and triglycerides, within the liver. Choline also helps transport fats out of the liver to be used in other areas of the body. Inositol also aids in fat metabolism and works together with choline to help protect the liver. Some research suggests that inositol may help inhibit excess fat accumulation in the liver, and may provide antioxidant effects.

Milk Thistle

Milk thistle has been shown to provide nourishment, protection, and support for the liver while it performs its many vital functions, including filtering and cleansing toxins in the body. Milk thistle supports the liver's detox function, allowing it to efficiently emulsify fat, break down trapped particles, and help remove them from the body. Milk thistle contains the active compound silymarin, which has been the subject of numerous liver health studies. Silymarin has powerful antioxidant properties and helps stabilize liver cell membranes, preventing the cellular uptake of some toxins that can lead to tissue damage. Silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis in liver cells (indicative of tissue integrity) and promotes a healthy inflammatory response, helping to modulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.* Plus, milk thistle provides digestive support and promotes bile production to help break down fats.

Dandelion

Dandelion, one of the most nutrient-rich plants in the plant kingdom, is a source of many important minerals and vitamins. Dandelion supports the digestive system and is reported to have tonic effects on the liver and gallbladder. Traditionally used as a liver tonic, dandelion contains polysaccharides that may support liver function and help detoxify the liver. Animal studies show that antioxidants found in dandelion root (including caffeic acid and luteolin) may help protect the liver and support healthy cholesterol levels.

NAC

N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant that supports liver health and the natural elimination of harmful toxins. NAC provides sulfur groups that also support immune function. As an antioxidant, NAC is used to help detoxify the body of chemicals and pollutants. NAC helps protect the liver from damaging free radicals and functions as a precursor to increase levels of glutathione—a powerful free-radical scavenger.*
