Liver Cleanse

Description

About the liver and body detoxification

The liver has many vital functions, including removing harmful waste products from the body, the storage of nutrients for timely energy release and maintaining vitality and well-being.

We are continually exposed to toxins – in the air we breath, in the water we drink and bathe in and in the food we eat. Our bodies are therefore continually trying to remove these toxins through our natural detoxification systems.

The primary detox organ in the body is the liver. Vital for cleansing the blood of impurities and keeping the body working well, it performs over 500 functions, including: cleaning the blood of toxins and chemicals, excreting wastes via bile, acting as a ‘factory’ for proteins and cholesterol, converting excess glucose to starch and excreting bile for fat digestion.

Every toxin we are exposed to (whether eaten, inhaled or absorbed) arrives at the liver. Such toxins include metabolic end products, micro-organisms, contaminants, pollutants, insecticides, pesticides, food additives, drugs and alcohol.

Working with the body’s other detoxification systems, the liver converts these toxins into a form more easily excreted.

The liver works in harmony with the body’s other detox organs

Waste products are eliminated from the body via the:

• gallbladder: using bile and bowel actions
• skin: through sweat
• kidneys: through urine.

If one of the body’s detox systems is over-burdened, this also places strain on the other systems, which include the digestive system, urinary system, lymphatic system, lungs and skin.

Hepatitis

Hepatitis is a liver infection caused by a virus that is spread through contamination with faeces. Hepatitis A can be unpleasant, but it’s not usually serious and most people make a full recovery within a couple of months. The VitaProHealth liver cleanse supplements are chock full of Choline, a nutrient much like vitamin B, which promotes a detoxifying effect on the liver. Choline is a vital nutrient that helps your liver and brain function correctly.

The liver cleanse supplements are also full of beetroot which helps protect the liver from oxidative damage and inflammation, all while increasing its natural detoxification enzymes. Beetroot contains folate, which can help reduce the risk of miscarriages and might help with embryo implantation. Beetroot is highly recommended during pregnancy to avoid neural tube defects in a growing baby, such as spina bifida.

On top of all these ingredients, our liver cleanse supplements also contain a vast amount of artichoke. Artichokes have a long history of medicinal use, especially for the liver and for digestive health. The traditional use of artichoke leaf extract has been substantiated through recent research demonstrating the health benefits of artichokes, including blood sugar regulation, cholesterol metabolism, and liver health. The exact mechanisms for many of these properties remain under investigation, and many benefits may likely stem from the phytochemicals found in artichokes, including phenolic compounds and flavonoids, and prebiotic fiber, such as inulin.
