| Liver Support Detoxifier
Liver Support detoxifier is a specially-prepared proprietary blend of artichoke and sarsaparilla. It contains the following naturally occurring flavonoids and polyphenols: silymarin, quercetin, catechin, hesperidin, rutin, cynarin and chlorogenic acid. These have been shown to support liver metabolism and promote the detoxification of not only the liver but of the whole body. This formula is recommended for those who are on any difficult therapy (including chemotherapy), those exposed to environmental pollutants and those who desire nutritional support. It also promotes the elimination of excess water through the kidneys and stimulates bile flow from the gall bladder and other digestive substances, which improves digestion.
Recommended for those who: - Consume Alcohol
- Are exposed to environmental toxins or chemicals or second hand smoke
- Consume Tobacco Products
- Have a history of liver or gall bladder problems
- Have been taking medications/drugs
Double Blind Studies have shown significant nutritional valur for liver support.

This is an extremely effective product for supporting the liver in detoxifying the body. It normalizes function and helps the liver prevent further damage due to internal and external substances.
The accumulation of chemicals in our body from the water that we drink and bathe in, the air that we breathe and the food that we eat have been shown to weaken the immune system and contribute to the development of degenerative diseases like cancer.
Liver Support System Ingredient Rationale
Bioflavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments (colors) that have anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic and anti-viral properties. Health professionals formulated the liver support system specifically for detoxifying the liver and gall bladder and supporting the functions of each.
Included Bioflavonoids
1. Silymarin
Numerous clinical studies have shown silymarin to be among the most powerful natural agents available for the prevention and treatment of liver damage caused by exposure to human-made chemicals, including alcohol-induced liver degeneration.

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid with antioxidant effects. Quercetin is used extensively in the treatment of athletic injuries because it relieves pain and bruising and acts synergistically with Vitamin C to protect and preserve the structure of capillaries. It also promotes circulation, lowers cholesterol levels and treats and prevents cataracts.

Catechin, another naturally-occurring flavonoid, is similar in effect to silymarin. Catechin is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent free radical oxidative damage to cells. It also helps in the treatment and prevention of alcohol and chemical-induced liver disease or damage. Catechin is valuable for its ability to neutralize intestinal toxins and assist in the stabilization of cell membranes.

Hesperidin has been shown to be useful in clinical trials as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory. This is useful since the liver and the whole body can become inflamed due to toxicity or the detoxification process.

Rutin is an antioxidant bioflavonoid, free radical scavenger and an iron-chelator. It is used as a vascular protector for reducing capillary fragility, permeability and bleeding, and as a treatment for varicose vein symptoms. Some studies show that rutin offers protection from damage induced by asbestos, the cytotoxic effects of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and gastric injury from ethanol. It also offers some protection against DNA damage. Rutin is used extensively in the treatment of athletic injuries because it relieves pain and bruises and acts synergistically with Vitamin C to protect and preserve the structure of capillaries. It also promotes circulation, promotes healthy cholesterol levels and supports normal ocular function.

Cynarin assists in the detoxification of the liver and gall bladder. It also supports the function of these two important organs and assists in their regeneration following damage from over toxicity. Cynarin stimulates the clearance of bile from the liver, preventing congestion in the liver and thus diminishing the chances of liver damage. Reference: A. Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements. Prima Publishing, Michael T. Murray, ND, 1996: p. 353. 7. Sarsaparilla
Sarsaparilla has been used to promote healthy skin, joints and cell division. It contains saponins, which are steroid-like agents that bind with toxins in the digestive tract. Historically, sarsaparilla has been used as a 'blood purifier' and a general tonic for diseases associated with increased endotoxin levels.
The tonic effect of sarsaparilla is the result of its ability to stimulate the removal of accumulated waste products from the cells, blood and lymph. These actions tend to increase the health of the entire body and increase vitality, thereby increasing energy and endurance.
