What is the liver and how does it function?
The liver is your largest internal organ and it performs
many functions including detoxification of the body.
The liver works by both filtering toxins directly and
by altering toxins so that they can be removed at other
stages of detoxification. The liver filters toxins from 1
liter of blood every minute. After the liver processes
these endotoxins (produced in the body), exotoxins
(from outside the body) and wastes, they are sent to
the kidneys and colon for elimination. A properly
functioning liver is vital to health.
What can I do to keep my liver healthy?
Lifestyle changes that help limit or dilute the toxin level in
the body are beneficial. Drinking plenty of water, eating
a healthy diet of fruits, vegetables and protein (preferably
organic), and regular exercise can all help eliminate,
prevent the ingestion of, or dilute the concentration of
toxins. Eating the proper foods and nutrients gives the liver the tools it needs
to stay healthy.
What nutrients does the liver need for detoxification and health?
The liver uses many different nutrients to detoxify toxins.
- Milk Thistle - an herb traditionally used to support
normal detoxification functions of the liver. The
strong antitoxin activity of the main ingredient in
milk thistle (silymarin) is thought to help the liver
function.
- L-Methionine - an amino acid that the liver uses to
create glutathione. Supplementing with L-methionine
can help raise glutathione levels and thus support the
natural detoxification functions of the liver.
- N-Acetyl-Cysteine - the liver also uses NAC to
create glutathione. Supplementing with NAC can
help raise glutathione levels.
- Alpha Lipoic Acid - an antioxidant that helps
revitalize glutathione and supports the antitoxin
activities of the liver.
- Selenium - helps zinc and vitamins (both antioxidants) to function
better in their detoxification properties.
- Ayurvedic Herbs - these herbs have long been
used to promote the detoxification capabilities of
the liver. Among the most commonly used
herbs are Boerhavia Diffusa, Eclipta Alba,
- Terminalia Belerica, Tinospora Cordifolia, and
Picrorhiza Kurroa.
