Liver Assist

As we see a dramatic increase in liver conditions reaching epidemic proportions, there has never been a more important time to use research-based, targeted nutrition for liver health. In the United States alone, it is estimated that 40% of the population (over 100 million people) suffer unknowingly from fatty liver. Liver cancer has tripled since 1980 and continues to rise. The liver is the organ that supports all organs. When the liver is compromised, the entire body suffers. The Liver Assist targeted liver support is a crucial way to cleanse your liver in today's toxic world. The liver has the ability to cleanse itself in normal toxic free conditions, but not against the onslaught of toxins we undertake in today's toxic environment. This is why we use Liver Assist, a clinically validated formula.

Liver Assist contains the amino acid N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a key component of glutathione—a tripeptide that plays a significant role in detoxification and antioxidant support. Liver Assist also contains a combination of alpha-lipoic acid, silymarin from milk thistle, and selenium for support of antioxidant activity, regeneration of other antioxidants, and promotion of healthy immune function. This is an ideal supplement for those who have had their gallbladder removed or for those with fatty liver disease.

• Supports Healthy Liver Function
• Supports Cytokine Balance
• Supports Glutathione Production
• May Protect Liver Tissue

Cleanse The Liver | Discover A Targeted Nutritional Support is a video that teaches on how you can use a healthy diet and targeted nutrition in order to cleanse the liver naturally.

N-ACETYL-CYSTEINE (NAC)
An acetylated derivative of the sulfur- containing amino acid L-cysteine, NAC promotes the synthesis of glutathione—a tripeptide that is active in detoxification and antioxidant systems. Glutathione also supports a healthy defense against hepatotoxic environmental pollutants, gamma-radiation, and other potential toxins.[1,2]

ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID
Sometimes referred to as thioctic acid, alpha-lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble. It supports glutathione, helps regenerate antioxidant vitamins C and E, helps maintain the ratio of reduced to oxidized CoQ10 in the mitochondria, and helps support healthy levels of nitric oxide in the liver and kidney.[3] The redox couple of lipoic acid and dihydrolipoic stabilizes NF-kappaB transcription and may help support healthy immune functions in the body.[4,5]

MILK THISTLE SEED EXTRACT
Silymarin, the active component in milk thistle, has a history of use in promoting liver health. It supports antioxidant activity, neutralizes toxins, and also may protect hepatocytes’ genetic material. Like alpha-lipoic acid, silymarin supports production of cellular glutathione. Its actions in the liver include maintaining normal levels of fat peroxidation and fibrous tissue formation; supporting a healthy immune response and the natural response to inflammation; and promoting protein synthesis and normal regeneration of liver tissue.[6] A randomized placebo-controlled study of 103 individuals suggested that silymarin yielded statistically positive results and was well tolerated.[7]

SELENIUM (as selenomethionine)
An important coenzyme for the glutathione peroxidase detoxification system, selenium also appears to support the endogenous antioxidant defenses of hepatocytes by upregulating their manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) expression. At the same time, selenium appears to support healthy cytokine balance by affecting interleukin-6 (IL-6) transcription in Kupffer cells (liver-based macrophages).[8] Kupffer cells play a crucial role in maintaining normal structure and function in the liver. Supporting their function and the body’s normal inflammatory response in turn supports liver health overall.[9]

Upon studying targeted nutrition support for liver health, we chose to combine alpha-lipoic acid, silymarin, and selenium to obtain a balanced and low-cost approach to liver support. These three ingredients plus NAC are all present in Liver Assist to support liver health, antioxidant activity, and the body’s natural immune defenses.
