Pro Liver is a combination of two scientifically proven liver
protectants, N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) and milk thistle. This supplement
is aimed at promoting a healthy liver by providing powerful
antioxidants to combat the negative effects of free radicals and
toxins. This combination of ingredients offers a wide range of
protection for those on hepatotoxic anabolic cycles or for those who
are just generally worried about their liver's health. If you may be
exposed to extreme conditions, due to supplementation or otherwise,
give your liver the best protection possible.
NAC is a precursor to glutathione, which is the body's most important
naturally occuring antioxidant and vitally important to liver function.
Liver toxins and other conditions that are harmful to the liver tend to
compromise glutathione status. Research in humans has found a benefit
from NAC in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and it is
routinely used to protect the liver in cases of acetaminophen overdose
and other cases of acute hepatic failure. In animal studies, NAC has
been found to protect against a plethora of liver toxins.
Milk thisle is another well established liver nutrient. It has been
widely used for centuries, and it is a potent antioxidant that
concentrates in the liver. In addition to being an antioxidant, it may
directly prevent toxins from binding to liver cells. Placebo-controlled
trials have found milk thistle or its active ingredient to
significantly improve the condition of patients with alcoholic liver
cirrhosis and it has also been used to treat many other liver diseases.
Like NAC, milk thistle has been found to protect experimental animals
from a wide variety of substances that are toxic to the liver.
In addition to protecting the liver, both of these substances have many
other health benefits. Milk thistle is anticarcinogenic, improves
cardiovascular health, and reduces the toxic effects of heavy metal
buildup. Because of the importance of glutathione, the benefits of NAC
are far and wide, and it protects virtually every organ in the body
from oxidative stress. Among the benefits measured in clinical trials
are weight loss in obese patients, improved exercise tolerance in some
individuals, protection of the kidney against toxic agents, and
improved lung function.
Both of these substances are very safe and associated with very few
side effects.
