Are you loving your liver like you should? Does it get the support from you that it needs?

After all, the liver’s “to-do” list is big. It helps metabolize carbs and maintain healthy glucose levels, stores and synthesizes vitamins, and regulates hormones, including estrogen. But, arguably one of the liver’s most important tasks is creating bile.

Bile gets a bad rap because it just sounds bad. In the past, people would say someone was “filled with bile” if they had a bad temper. But bile is important, and it has a big job. This greenish fluid starts the whole process of breaking down the fats we eat so we can use the fat-soluble nutrients hidden within them. It also shuttles toxins through the digestive system, acting as a detoxifying agent. In the intestines, bile hands over custody of toxins to fiber (if available), allowing fiber to keep toxins from sneaking back into the digestive system. That’s why finding supplements that support bile production is a big deal for the health of your liver and your entire body.†

That said, let’s look at 5 liver lovin’ supplements:

Complete Liver Cleanse†:
This simple, two-week liver cleanse program removes toxins, and rejuvenates your liver with a set of unique ingredients, including:†

  • Milk thistle and other important herbs that work together to stimulate the liver and increase bile production—ramping up the “moving service” for toxins.†
  • Calcium D-glucarate helps keep these compounds from reverting back to their original toxic state as they move through the gall bladder.†
  • Ensuring one less burden for your liver, phytosterols block cholesterol absorption in the intestines.†
  • A dynamic fiber team, oat beta-glucan and glucomannan bind with the toxic excretions to prevent reabsorption back into the body.† These unique fibers move the toxins through the intestines to be eliminated.†

This is an extremely convenient cleanse—even the fiber is tucked inside of the vegetarian capsule! Think of it as a two-week liver-specific support kit all in one bottle.†

Super Milk Thistle® liver cleansing formula†:
Milk thistle extract contains an amazing compound called silymarin, which supports the liver at a cellular level.† In fact, it not only helps your liver detoxify, but other body systems as well, including the intestines, gall bladder, circulatory and lymphatic systems.† Plus, it acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting your liver from free radicals damage.†

What makes this supplement so “Super?” It’s easy. Super Milk Thistle uses a special process that combines the herb with phosphatidylcholine to enhance absorption in your body.†

Artichoke Extract:
Hearing the word “artichoke” may bring to mind esoteric pizza toppings, but artichoke provides liver support, too.†  In fact, artichoke leaf extract specifically supports healthy bile production in the liver and healthy gastrointestinal function in general.† (Of course, that’s without the pepperoni and extra cheese.)

Fiber Fusion™ daily cleansing fiber†
Fiber Fusion is the cleanse you can do every day.† It gives your liver a well-deserved assist by grabbing onto toxins and helping move them out of your digestive system, so they can’t be reabsorbed and needlessly processed all over again.†

Liv-A-Tox®† dietary supplement:

Quite different from Fiber Fusion, Liv-A-Tox† isn’t for every day. It’s meant to be used periodically to help your liver increase bile production and purge the body of toxins.†

Liver + Supplements = TLC
The liver does a lot for us, but doesn’t get much reward in return. Adding any of these supplements to your regimen can give your liver the love it so richly deserves.
