What are the health benefits associated with LIV 52?

LIV 52 is widely used to prevent and combat liver damage. Through its various mechanisms of action, it helps protect, maintain and restore the liver. In particular, scientists believe it has a beneficial effect in:

• Protecting the liver parenchyma;
• Stimulating hepatocellular regeneration;
• Enabling antioxidant activity to maintain cell membrane integrity and increase levels of the detoxifying cytochrome P-450 enzyme;
• Stimulating bile production;
• Facilitating the rapid elimination of acetaldehyde, a toxic intermediate metabolite produced during the breakdown of alcohol;
• Protecting the liver from alcohol-induced damage;
• Reducing lipotropic activity associated with chronic alcoholism;
• Limiting fatty infiltration of the liver.

Part of the digestive system, the liver fulfils vital functions, primarily those of storing, synthesising and purifying. It participates in fat and carbohydrate metabolism and stores numerous substances such as glycogen and vitamins. It synthesises a number of proteins such as albumin, as well as bile, the fluid that aids digestion. Above all, the liver is known for its detoxifying action, helping to destroy or convert toxins such as alcohol, drugs and other waste products. Unfortunately, the liver sometimes has to deal with multiple external aggressors which can prevent it from functioning normally and produce harmful consequences for the body. It is thus essential to support and protect your liver.

The liver can sometimes become damaged, due perhaps to a disease such as viral hepatitis, or significant accumulation of toxins, as is notably the case with alcoholism. Without proper treatment, such liver damage can prove dangerous and cause serious complications, ultimately resulting in irreversible cirrhosis. LIV 52 can offer vital help in detoxifying the liver. Its 50 years of use are testament to its efficacy, as are the 170+ clinical studies conducted on it. Close to a hundred studies have also focused on its potential in preventing and treating viral hepatitis, alcoholism, cirrhosis, malnutrition and hepatoxicity induced by radiation and chemotherapy.
