Liver Optimizer^® combines herbs and other nutrients known to impact detoxification and overall liver function.* It is especially directed toward Phase 2 enzymes, which assist in the processing and removal of toxins from the body.* Milk thistle extract has been shown to affect glutathione levels and aid in the regeneration of liver cells.* The sulfur-containing compounds, R-alpha lipoic acid (the naturally-occurring form) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), are also involved in the regulation of glutathione.* Sulforaphane GlucoSinolate, from broccoli, is a precursor to sulforaphane, an inducer of Phase 2 detoxifying enzymes.* PicroMax^®, a standardized extract of Picrorhiza kurroa, is a hepatoprotective herb well-regarded in Ayurveda.* B complex vitamins support liver enzymes and promote liver regeneration.* Additionally, the nucleoside uridine supports liver detoxification, while NAC conjugates and promotes excretion of acetaldehyde, a toxic intermediate of alcohol metabolism.*
