what is a good supplement to take for your liver?

Answer 1

In addition to Milk Thistle, also Fish Oil provides Omega 3 which acts as an anti inflammatory. That's one reason why fishermen live to be 120. You will find 1200mg and 1000mg tabs in most drug stores. You take one tab twice a day.

Answer 2

The liver is the most important organ after the heart. It performs 400 of functions .

There are many things you can do on your own to help balance and tonify the Liver.

Diet -
Because the taste of sour is associated with the Liver, Spring is a good time to consider adding sour citrus to your diet. (Oranges are not suggested because they’re predominantly sweet.)

Dandelion greens are a good way to detoxify and help soothe the Liver.

Chrysanthemum, Dandelion root and Chamomile - if there is no sign of ragweed allergy - teas serve as nerve tonics, and can help alleviate symptoms associated with an out-of-balance Liver.

Gentle stretching exercises stimulate the tendons, which are governed by the Liver. By stretching you relieve stresses that congest the Liver, thereby providing an internal massage that calms and stimulates healthy Liver function.

Avoid eating heavy oils; use sesame, or an organic olive oil instead. Stay away from greasy, fried foods. Remember that saturated fats, like butter and cheese, make the Liver work harder.

Moderate alcohol intake. And if you’re having heat-related problems, like skin rashes and hives, stay away from alcohol all together.

Milk Thistle has been used in various preparations for over 2000 years, and is use as a liver protectant can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans. In the following centuries, various groups used milk thistle for a range of problems, including varicose veins, menstrual difficulty and congestion in the liver, spleen and kidneys.

Benefits include:
Hepatoprotection – protects liver cells against many hepatotoxins.
Cirrhosis – it is very effective in cases of alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver.
Antioxidant – it has been shown that milk thistle scavenges free radicals, and also protects against glutathione (an antioxidant) depletion in liver cells.
Hangover Remedy - Although not scientifically proven there are many young sparks who will certainly testify that milk thistle is an excellent aid to help with a hangover!

Properties:
Milk Thistle contains three potent liver protective bioflavonoids, which are collectively known as Silymarin, but individually called silybin, silychristin and silydianin.

Silymarin is able to alter the cell membranes of liver cells, thus inhibiting the passage of toxins. Silymarin can also help cellular regeneration by stimulating protein synthesis, can act as an antioxidant, and can counteract the effects of a wide variety of poisons.

Precaution: Not recommended for use during pregnancy.
