The Damaging Effects of an Unhealthy Liver

Normal liver function is essential to life. A damaged liver can lead to various day to day complications that many individuals brush off as a simple cold or lack of sleep. Some of these complications could be: lack of energy, mild headaches, nagging aches and pains as well as improper food metabolism. In addition, to the day to day struggles, long-term liver stress is noted to increase kidney, heart, neurological, and cardiovascular complications. Proper care of your most important organ is a necessity.

Eradicating the Liver of Toxins is Critical to Improved Health

Oxidative stress plays a vital role in the development of complications that may harm liver health. Each day we are exposed to many different toxins, which increase the production of free radicals. A specific combination of nutrients for supporting the liver has been developed. This unique combination incorporates N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC), Alpha-Lipoic Acid, a new treated form of Silymarin (Biosorb™ Silymarin), Choline, Vitamins E and B12, and two ayurvedic herbs, Picrorhiza kurroa and Andrographis paniculata, that have been used for thousands of years for their support for liver health. Free radicals, being very unstable and reactive, will cause cellular damage and eventually serious pathology. Eradicating toxins and reducing free radical damage is one of the most important functions of the liver.

Liver X's Innovative Formula Leads to Optimal Liver Function

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC), a variant of the amino acid L-cysteine, is a great source of sulfhydryl (SH) groups, and is converted in the body into metabolites capable of stimulating glutathione (GSH) synthesis, promoting detoxification and acting directly as free radical scavengers. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) has been used clinically in hospitals as an antidote for acetaminophen poisoning and as a mucolytic agent to support respiratory health. More recently, NAC has proven to have multiple benefits in human pathology. NAC, the acetylated derivative of the amino acid cysteine, is a building block in the synthesis of glutathione (GSH) and is an agent capable of protecting the liver and kidney from damage. Glutathione is a powerful free radical scavenger and an essential component of the liver's detoxification process. NAC is a precursor to GSH, which significantly supports immune health and decreases flu-like episodes and severity and length of time confined to bed.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that is produced naturally in the body. Unlike other antioxidants, ALA is both a fat and water-soluble antioxidant and is easily transported across cell membranes. This unique quality offers protection against free radicals both inside and outside the cell while other antioxidants only provide extracellular protection. Recent research has shown ALA to be an efficient free radical scavenger, support neurological health and help prevent the deficits in nerve blood flow and oxidative stress. ALA has the ability to regenerate other antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin C and glutathione (GSH) for further use after they've eradicated free radicals.

Biosorb™ Silymarin, developed by the biochemists at MRM, is an isolated extract from milk thistle (Silybum marrium). It is a state-of-the-art antioxidant liver protection agent that promotes healthy liver function and the metabolism of cholesterol. Biosorb™ Silymarin has been shown to counteract detrimental toxins that accumulate in the liver, decrease the presence of free radicals which compromise immune health and support prostate health. It acts as an antioxidant, inhibiting free radicals from damaging the liver. Preliminary investigations with Biosorb™ Silymarin indicated a greater biovailability with enhanced peak blood concentration. These concentrations remained elevated by 342% for 12 hours, giving this form of Silymarin 5 times greater absorption capability. The end result is long lasting antioxidant protection.

Along with Biosorb™ Silymarin’s liver protection characteristics, current research has indicated beneficial effects on cholesterol metabolism. Silymarin may elicit a direct effect on liver cholesterol metabolism by inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis, therefore, lowering liver cholesterol concentrations.

Choline is an essential precursor of acetylcholine that aids in the production of HDL (good) cholesterol. Choline is a B-complex vitamin that is a constituent of lecithin; necessary in the metabolism of fat. Choline actively promotes proper nerve function, metabolism, and the production of HDL.

Vitamin E is of tremendous dietary importance because it functions as an antioxidant. It goes around the body scavenging free radicals of oxygen and detoxifying them. Vitamin E has been shown to protect against liver damage induced by oxidative stress.

Andrographis paniculata and Picrorhiza kurroa increases bile production in the liver, which supports increased liver health. This active complex has been shown to protect against liver damage from several potent toxins. Additionally, Picrorhiza kurroa offers protection as good as or better than silymarin and it appears to reduce the formation of liver cancer due to chemical exposures.

The Ultimate Hangover Helper

Alcohol-induced liver damage disrupts the body's metabolism, eventually impairing the function of other organs. Most of the alcohol a person drinks is eventually broken down by the liver. However, some products generated during alcohol metabolism are more toxic than alcohol itself. The body's natural defenses against free radicals (e.g., antioxidants) can be inhibited by alcohol consumption, leading to increased liver damage. The active ingredients in Liver X helps to protect the body against toxins generated during the consumption and metabolism of alcohol.
