Livdetox 120 Tablets

The liver is the primary filter for toxins within the

body. Accumulated chemicals and toxins can

adversly affect the proper structure and function of

the liver.

Livdetox is a formulation of key nutrients and herbs

including choline, betaine, methionine, dandelion,

milk thistle, artichoke and curcumin, each selected

to support healthy liver detoxification.

Livdetox tablets, provided by Douglas Laboratories,

contain several nutrient and herbal ingredients shown to maintain liver

structure and function in response to environmental toxins.

Livdetox contains several dietary constituents that

have been shown to support against various toxic environmental

stresses that affect the function and structure of the liver.

Choline, betaine, and methionine are involved in methyl group

metabolism, which is essential for normal liver function. Choline, as

an integral component of lecithin (phosphatidylcholine), is used for

synthesis and maintenance of normal cell membranes. Choline deficiency

results in steep increases in serum enzyme markers of liver

injury. Animals deficient in choline and inositol have an excess liver

accumulation of fat. Inositol and choline supplementation of animals

prone to fatty livers prevents this liver dysfunction.

Taraxacum (dandelion) has been traditionally used as a detoxifying

herb working principally on the liver and gallbladder. This herb is

thought to stimulate the elimination of toxins and is one of the

strongest cholagogues and choleretics known.

Silybum marianum, milk thistle, is rich in flavonoids known collectively

as silymarin. Silymarin has also been shown to support healthy

liver function under a variety of environmental stress factors such as

alcohol consumption and exposure to pollutants and other potentially

harmful substances. Silymarin compounds are known for their

antioxidant activities preventing damaging lipid peroxidation by

excessive free radical levels.

Cynara scolymus (artichoke) has been used medicinally for centuries.

Similar to milk thistle, it is beneficial to the liver as it protects

it against environmental and infection-generated toxins. Extracts of

artichoke can stimulate the flow of bile from the liver and prevent

cholestasis.† It also can protect liver cells from oxidative damage.

Cynara’s usefulness in liver support is thought to be due to its content

of caffeoylquinic acids, e.g. cynarin, and flavonoids.

Curcumin has been demonstrated to be a potent antioxidant, and

may also provide important support for healthy liver function.
