Livdetox tablets, provided by Douglas
Laboratories, contain several nutrient and herbal ingredients shown to maintain
liver structure and function in response to environmental toxins. Livdetox contains several dietary constituents
that have been shown to support against various toxic environmental stresses
that affect the function and structure of the liver. Choline, betaine, and
methionine are involved in methyl group metabolism, which is essential for
normal liver function. Choline, as an integral component of lecithin (phosphatidylcholine),
is used for synthesis and maintenance of normal cell membranes. Choline
deficiency results in steep increases in serum enzyme markers of liver injury.
Animals deficient in choline and inositol have an excess liver accumulation of
fat. Inositol and choline supplementation of animals prone to fatty livers
prevents this liver dysfunction. Taraxacum (dandelion) has been traditionally
used as a detoxifying herb working principally on the liver and gallbladder.
This herb is thought to stimulate the elimination of toxins and is one of the
strongest cholagogues and choleretics known. Silybum marianum, milk thistle, is
rich in flavonoids known collectively as silymarin. Silymarin has also been
shown to support healthy liver function under a variety of environmental stress
factors such as alcohol consumption and exposure to pollutants and other
potentially harmful substances. Silymarin compounds are known for their
antioxidant activities preventing damaging lipid peroxidation by excessive free
radical levels. Cynara scolymus (artichoke) has been used medicinally for
centuries. Similar to milk thistle, it is beneficial to the liver as it protects
it against environmental and infection-generated toxins. Extracts of artichoke
can stimulate the flow of bile from the liver and prevent cholestasis. It also
can protect liver cells from oxidative damage. Cynara¡¦s usefulness in liver
support is thought to be due to its content of caffeoylquinic acids, e.g.
cynarin, and flavonoids. Curcumin has been demonstrated to be a potent
antioxidant, and may also provide important support for healthy liver function. Livdetox may be a useful dietary supplement for
individuals who wish to maintain the structure and function of a healthy liver. Adults take 3 tablets daily or as directed by
physician. No adverse effects have been reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Anonymous. Taraxacum officinale. Altern Med Rev
