Liver Nutrients from Seeking Health contains a unique blend of nutrients.
The liver is the body's central detoxification organ. The liver is responsible for inactivating both toxins from the environment and the body's own toxic waste products.
Several different detoxification pathways, adapted to eliminate different types of toxic substances, exist in the liver. This includes excretion of toxins via bile and the detox pathways Phase I and Phase II, which neutralize toxic substances via enzymes.
Since free radicals and other potentially harmful metabolites (residues) are formed during the Phase I reactions, it is important to maintain a balance between Phase I and Phase II for the cellular processes to be healthy.
Milk thistle extract is rich in the lignins silybin, silydianin, and silychristin, together they form what is called silymarin. Silymarin, which is unique to the milk thistle plant, contains a powerful flavonoid complex.
N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a popular form of L-cysteine, one of the raw materials for glutathione. Glutathione neutralizes many oxidative substances, including hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals.
Glutathione is also involved in the body's production of glutathione peroxidase, another important liver enzyme with antioxidant capacity. Alpha-lipoic acid is another significant antioxidant that is soluble in both water and fats.
The amino acid taurine is involved in a number of important detox processes, such as bile conjugation, where toxic substances are bound to the bile so they can be excreted. Conjugation is one of the bile's normal tasks in oxidative stress.
In order for toxins and excess fat-soluble waste products to be eliminated from the body, conjugates of bile salts are created. Bile acid is then bound to either taurine or glycine.
Maintenance and protection of liver functions can be optimized through an appropriate intake of various nutrients, such as vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, B vitamins and selenium. A healthy diet and lifestyle are also fundamental to liver function.
