This liver is so important. It stores vitamins, minerals, produces bile (essential for the breakdown of fat), and is the main organ for the metabolism of food, drugs and hormones.

If the liver's performance is impaired, it can cause gall bladder complaints and digestive discomfort e.g. nausea/indigestion after consuming fatty food. Other problems can be high cholesterol, weight gain and skin complains e.g. Acne or Eczema.

How does it work?
Artichoke, Dandelion, Boldo and Peppermint: These all have a cholaogogic and choleretic action on the liver (Induces the production and flow of bile). Also, they help to remove toxins and help to restore liver function. Dandelion also a mild laxative and also has been traditionally used in gall bladder treatment. Peppermint and Boldo have an additional function in relaxing the smooth muscle, helping to relieve colic, dyspesia and can help with flatulence.
Milk Thistle: Its main constituent is Simymarin. It directly affects the cell membranes of the liver, preventing further damage and encourages repair. Simymarin also helps to prevent excess cell production - as seen in psoriasis.

To ensure a successful cleanse of your system, it is really important to cut out fatty, sugary and chemically enhanced foods and drink. This includes caffeine and alcohol and be sure to replace them with plenty of water.
