Cichorium intybus:
An old Turkish folk medicine, this nutrient has been the subject of modern studies showing it can protect the liver from toxic substance damage, specifically lowering liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase) and bilirubin levels after toxic exposure (1).
Arjuna (terminalia arjuna):
A traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine shown to lower liver enzyme levels and stress markers following hepatotoxic substance administration (2).
Yarrow (achillea millefolium):
A flowering plant that produces an extract known to help reduce hepatic inflammation and regulate bile secretion (3).
Phosphatidylcholine:
A key constituent of cellular membranes including liver cells, phosphatidylcholine helps maintain liver cell integrity and function.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC):
A metabolic precursor to glutathione, a vital component in liver functioning. NAC is a key liver support nutrient, helping to counter hepatic glutathione depletion (4), an effect common with oral AAS toxicity (5).
L-glutathione:
High purity L-glutathione, which helps directly replenish glutathione stores and counter liver tissue depletion.
Milk Thistle (Silymarin standardized):
This natural remedy is one of the most extensively studied and proven liver detoxification supplements, and in some regions is widely prescribed by physicians to treat numerous liver diseases including alcohol cirrhosis. An extensive review of more than a dozen placebo controlled studies with the use of silymarin on patients with cirrhosis have shown it to consistently reduce aspartate aminotransferase levels and even liver-related mortality (6).
Wasabi japonica:
A rich source of 6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate (6-HITC), an inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase, which is an enzyme that breaks down hepatic glutathione. By countering this enzyme, 6-HITC also helps protect the liver and support optimal glutathione levels and cellular function (7).
Vitamin complex:
A vital collection of key vitamins including vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E, and niacin, which also help support liver cell integrity and function.
