The liver works hard every day, having multiple functions in the body including ridding the body of unwanted toxins via two modes of detoxification, nutrient processing, combating infection, storing nutrients such as iron, controlling levels of glucose, fats and amino acids in the blood… and more! Excess fatty foods, alcohol, viral infection & heavy metals can overload and damage the liver.

Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle (also known as St Mary’s Thistle and Blessed Thistle) has a long history of use as a traditional herb for liver & gallbladder health. Excessive amounts of fatty foods, alcohol, or a variety of environmental challenges can place an extra burden on the liver.
Taurine
Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is found in the human body. It can be produced in the liver from cysteine and methionine. Taurine is involved in the conjugation of bile acids and cell membrane stabilisation.
