Description
Healthy Liver Function is essential to proper filtration of the blood in your body. The following elements can be key to providing your system with the nutrients and supplements needed to naturally enhance liver function.
Milk Thistle
Silymarin is the active constituent from the milk thistle plant, silybum marianum, and has been promoted extensively as a natural remedy for diseases of the liver and biliary function. It has been used in medicines for over 2,00 years and has been proven very effective. Silymarin seems to protect liver cells by acting as antioxidants. Milk thistle also stimulates protein synthesis, which accelerates cell regeneration within the liver.
Clinical studies have shown benefits of milk thistle for liver cirrhosis. The study was done on alcoholics and non-alcoholics with cirrhosis. Those who received 140mg

silymarin three times daily for an average of 41 months had a much higher survival rate than placebo. The study also found that silymarin treatment was more effective in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. This effective herbs mechanism is remarkable. It also appears as though it may have dynamic bioactive properties as there have been reported improvements in exogenous insulin need in cirrhotic diabetic patients.
NAC (N-Acetylcysteine)
When liver toxicity occurs, it is depleted of glutathione, which plays an important role in scavengering free radicals and containing oxidative damage within cells. One of the most well researched supplements for restoring glutathione concentrations is N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) which is a variant of the amino acid L-Cysteine. NAC is a source of sulfhydryl groups that are converted in the body into metabolites capable of stimulating glutathione synthesis, which is important for promoting detoxification and acting directly as free radical scavengers. To this end, NAC has been used clinically in hospitals as an antidote for acetaminophen poisoning.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Alpha Lipoic Acid is also an antioxidant that is produced naturally in the body and has the ability to expedite the synthesis of other antioxidants like Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and glutathione for further use after they have eradicated free radicals. Unlike many antioxidants, Alpha Lipoic Acid is both a fat and water-soluble antioxidant and is easily transported across cell membranes where it too can act as a precursor to glutathione. It has been shown to be effective in the restoration of liver function.
Picrorhiza Kurroa
The root and rhizomes of Picrorhiza Kurroa have traditionally been used in the ayurvedic medicine to treat disorders of the liver and upper respiratory tract. The hepato-protective action of this amazing herb has been attributed to its ability to inhibit the generation of oxygen anions and to scavenge free radicals. In a clinical trial, 33 patients diagnosed with acute viral hepatitis were given picrorhiza extract three times daily for two weeks. The levels of the liver function markers bilirubin, AST, and ALT were significantly lower in the treatment group as compared to placebo.
Schisandra
Schisandra Chinensis is used in traditional Chinese medicine as an adaptogen, and was demonstrated to protect the liver against various toxins. Various lignans, including schisandrin, schisandrol, and deoxy-schisandrin are believed responsible for this plant's activity. A synthetic analog of schizandrin called DDB is now widely used in China as a hepato-protective drug. DDB has the ability to lower the elevated liver enzyme levels of patients suffering from viral hepatitis.
Glycyrrhizin
In Europe, a daily injection of glycyrrhizin has been shown to normalize ALT levels in patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Patients with chronic hepatitis C were administered intravenous glycyrrhizin three or six times per week for four weeks. At the end of treatment, ALT levels were significantly decreased by 26 percent and 47 percent for three times per week and six times per week, respectively.
