ADVANTAGES Helps promote a healthy liver. INNOVATION Regular or excessive alcohol consumption or being overweight can cause the liver to be fatty, damaged and less functional. And while liver damage is often not apparent until it is too late, non-specific symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, fatigue, headache, bloating and nausea can be signs of an overburdened liver. Active Liver is designed to help your liver detox and stay healthy. Its ingredients, globe artichoke, milk thistle and turmeric have all protective and restorative effects on the liver. These extracts have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties and help increase bile production to support the liver’s capacity to digest, detox and regulate blood fat levels. DOSAGE Take one tablet daily. MEDICINAL INGREDIENTS - PER TABLET - Globe artichoke leaf extract (Cynara scolymus [13.5:1=2997 mg]): 222 mg - Milk thistle fruit extract (Silybum marianum (providing 80 % sylimarin)): 200 mg - Tumeric rhizome extract (Curcuma longa [10:1=1500 mg]): 150 mg PROPERTIES OF THE INGREDIENTS Milk thistle has its origins in the Mediterranean area. Since centuries, it is well known to protect and support liver function. Several studies suggest that it helps repair the liver and decrease signs of liver damage. Turmeric is the most commonly used herb to support liver health since its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help to protect and regenerate liver cells. Globe artichoke contains high concentrations of flavonoids and phenolic acids, which have been discovered about a century ago to help increase bile production (choleretic). Bile not only aids with digestion but also with the excretion of bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell break down during the blood cleansing and renewal process. New evidence also supports its role in helping balance triglyceride levels and decreasing cholesterol levels.
