Did you know that your liver is the toxic waste disposal plant of our bodies - the gatekeeper that can filter out toxins before they cause significant damage to our health? For this reason Herbal Extracts Plus has combined three superior medicinal extracts in an all-natural herbal product called Liver Health Support for the maintenance of optimum liver health. Although the second largest organ in the body, the liver is often seen as the most important and plays an important role in the digestion of foods by producing bile to break down fats. It also regulates blood sugar by storing excess sugar until needed for energy. The liver cleanses the toxins that we absorb from the air that we breathe and the food and water we consume and clears the blood of infectious organisms and bacteria that cause almost incalculable problems for almost every organ in our bodies. When the liver's efficiency is impaired, toxins are no longer filtered out efficiently and may build up in the body, but checked in time, a diseased or failed liver stands a good chance of healing very well. Are you feeling sluggish, your eyes looking a little yellowish, your skin not clear, your stomach distended, your digestive tract acting up? A healthier liver can certainly help - and the herbal supplements in Liver Health Support can also certainly help to achieve that healthier liver and a healthier life.

Ingredients:
A mixture of 50% Milk Thistle (80% Silymarin), 30% Turmeric Root 4:1, and 20% Artichoke (5% Cynarin)

Milk Thistle has been used for thousands of years as an extraordinary liver tonic and is a well-known safeguard that protects the liver from all types of disorders. This remarkable herb is said to have no pharmaceutical equivalent for its beneficial effects on the liver, spleen and gall bladder. As a free-radical scavenger it protects the liver from toxins and pollutants by preventing free radical damage, and it also stimulates the production of new liver cells. It is considered a remarkable herb for treating cirrhosis, alcoholic poisoning, jaundice, fatty liver, hepatitis and viral hepatitis. A flavonoid complex (silymarin) stimulates liver protein creation, enabling the organ to produce new liver cells and replace the old ones damaged by hepatitis infection or other toxins. Milk Thistle increases the production of bile, the fluid created in the liver that helps to break down fats in the small intestine. This helps to remove (via excretion) testosterone byproducts that cause acne. As a demulcent with mucilaginous properties, it soothes mucous membranes from irritating substances and helps to protect the intestinal lining (reducing inflammation of the intestine), alleviating the constipation of irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease, as well as other inflammatory bowel disorders.

Curcumin is considered vital therapy for the liver. In ancient Ayurvedic medicine, the herb was a key therapy for good liver health, and in traditional Chinese medicine, Curcumin is still used regularly to treat liver and gallbladder problems. Today's research claims that this warming herb protects liver cells, and its curcumin content is beneficial for treating liver disease and may reverse liver damage caused by very excessive iron consumption and alcohol. Curcumin (also called Turmeric) is known to increase bile production and boost the production of enzymes that digest sugar and fat and, thereby, may inhibit cholesterol from crystallizing into gallstones.

The Artichoke has long been used as an aid to good digestion and a means to improve liver health. It is a "cholagogue," and due to its cynarin content, it stimulates the flow of bile from the liver into the intestines, assisting the body in blood fat metabolism. The cynarin compound, which is found in the leaves, stimulates the gall bladder and improves liver function.  Artichoke has been used traditionally and in alternative medicine for treating dyspepsia, as well as liver and gall bladder ailments, including jaundice and hepatitis.
