The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, responsible for a number of central bodily functions. The liver is mainly involved in the elimination of toxins from the body. Toxins can be prevalent in the body because of a variety of factors, including pesticides, hormones, excessive fat intake, and stress. Playing a role in thousands of biochemical mechanisms, the liver also helps absorb and distribute nutrients throughout the body. Problems with the liver can be brought on by unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol use, side effects from drug, toxic chemicals, obesity, and viral hepatitis. A range of vitamins, minerals, and herbs are needed to keep the liver functioning properly, and appropriate supplementation is often required to fill the nutritional holes in you diet.

Liver Support Benefits:
*Supports overall liver health & functions
*Eliminates environmental toxins
*Prevents alcohol-related liver damage
*Combats liver diseases like jaundice & anorexia

Vitamins
Cirrhosis and fatty build-up are common afflictions of the liver. Vitamin C and E are important nutrients for liver health, helping to combat cirrhosis and the build-up of fat. Vitamin C and E are both antioxidants, meaning they fight free radicals and stop them from damaging cells. Vitamin C and E protect against cirrhosis in the liver and protect against fatty liver disease. Vitamin B12 is a particularly effective liver support nutrient, helping with disease related to the liver such as jaundice, anorexia, and others

Herbs
Milk thistle is an herb that supports the liver in its fight against damage inflicted by environmental toxins. Milk thistle can also help improve liver functions in those afflicted with hepatitis. Alcohol is a toxin that can have negative effects on the liver in excessive and moderate amounts. Dandelion extract and asparagus leaf extract are both effective at preventing alcohol-related damage. Steatosis in the liver is another main concern with liver functions, a process in which fats and triglycerides build-up in the liver. Steatosis in the liver is most often the result of obesity, alcohol, or poor diet. Rosemary, because of its ability to prevent weight gain and limit triglyceride build-up, is recognized for preventing steatosis in the liver.

Methionine & Taurine
The amino acid methionine is known to support the liver through the prevention of cell damage, particularly damage to liver cells. Methionine can also combat fatty degeneration, while methionine deficiency can lead to choline deficiency, a fatigue and insomnia-related condition, and fat retention in the liver. Taurine is another amino acid that maintains liver health. Needed in liver bile production, taurine also prevents damage from alcohol and carbon tetrachloride.
