Properties of the ingredients:

Milk thistle extract: Silybum marianum has been used for over 2,000 years as an herbal remedy. The active ingredient in milk thistle is called “silymarin”. It acts as an antioxidant protecting, repairing and regenerating liver cells. More recent trials have also suggested that milk thistle has anticancer, antidiabetic, and cardio protective effects.

Cynara cardunculus: Artichoke works to stimulate bile production to support liver and gallbladder function and may help relieve occasional indigestion. It also help maintain balanced LDL cholesterol and triglyceride production in the liver for cardiovascular support.

N-Acetyl-L-cysteine: NAC serves as a precursor to glutathione—a key antioxidant that provides protection against free radicals and toxins in the body. NAC is used by the liver and the lymphocytes to detoxify chemicals and other poisons. It detoxifies heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium, and is also a potent detoxifier of tobacco smoke, alcohol, and environmental pollutants.

Phyllanthus amarus: Known also as “stone-breaker”, chanca piedra is used in traditional medicine to treat gallstones, kidney stones and jaundice. Chanca piedra is also effective in treating liver toxicity, viruses like hepatitis B and to tone, strengthen, detoxify and protect the liver (and to balance liver enzymes). 

R-alpha-Lipoic acid: R-lipoic acid is more easily absorbed and taken into the cells than S (-) lipoic acid (artificial form of ALA). It is an antioxidant that is used to protect liver due to its ability to boosts glutathione, reduce liver enzyme, and regenerate other antioxidants to fight free radicals. 

Trametes versicolor: often called the “Turkey Tail” or “Yun Zhi” in Chinese, is the most well-studied medicinal mushrooms in the world. With a wide spectrum of beneficial properties, Turkey Tail is also regarded as curative to liver ailments (including hepatitis B and chronic active hepatitis) and is used to strengthen the immune system.  

Cucuma longa: Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Curcumin fights free radicals, protects the liver against toxins, lowers cholesterol levels and aids cirulations.
