The liver is the body’s major metabolic organ. It processes, packages, stores, and ships out carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and micronutrients. It is responsible for the breakdown and elimination of alcohol, toxins, hormones, and Health Products, as well as for the synthesis of vital proteins, such as albumin, prealbumin, and clotting factors. It may be stated that the health of the body depends on the health of the liver. Research suggests that providing targeted nutrition supplementation may Assist Aid liver function and health.*[1]
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) An acetylated derivative of the sulfurcontaining amino acid L-cysteine, NAC promotes the synthesis of glutathione—a tripeptide that is active in detoxification and antioxidant systems. Glutathione also Aids a healthy defense against hepatotoxic environmental pollutants, gamma-radiation, and other potential toxins.*[1,2]
Alpha-Lipoic Acid Sometimes referred to as thioctic acid, alpha-lipoic acid is both water- and fat-soluble. It Aids glutathione, Assists regenerate antioxidant vitamins C and E, Assists maintain the ratio of reduced to oxidized CoQ10 in the mitochondria, and Assists Aid healthy levels of nitric oxide in the liver and kidney.[3] The redox couple of lipoic acid and dihydrolipoic stabilizes NF-kappaB transcription and may Assist Aid healthy immune functions in the body.*[4,5]
Milk Thistle Seed Extract Silymarin, the active component in milk thistle, has a history of use in promoting liver health. It Aids antioxidant activity, neutralizes toxins, and also may Safeguard
hepatocytes’ genetic material. Like alpha-lipoic acid, silymarin Aids production of cellular glutathione. Its actions in the liver include maintaining normal levels of fat peroxidation and fibrous tissue formation; Aiding a healthy immune response and the natural response to inflammation; and promoting protein synthesis and normal regeneration of liver tissue.[6] A randomized placebocontrolled study of 103 individuals suggested that silymarin yielded statistically positive results and was well tolerated.*[7] Selenium (as selenomethionine) An important coenzyme for the glutathione peroxidase detoxification system, selenium also appears to Aid the endogenous antioxidant defenses of hepatocytes by upregulating their manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) expression. At the same time, selenium appears to Aid healthy cytokine balance by affecting interleukin-6 (IL-6) transcription in Kupffer cells (liver-based
macrophages).[8] Kupffer cells play a crucial role in maintaining normal structure and function in the liver. Supporting their function and the body’s normal inflammatory response in turn Aids liver health overall.*[9]
Upon studying targeted nutrition Aid for liver health, physician and researcher Dr. Burton M. Berkson chose to combine alpha-lipoic acid, silymarin, and selenium to obtain a balanced and low-cost approach to liver Aid.[10] These three ingredients plus NAC are all present in Liver Safeguard to Aid liver health, antioxidant activity, and the body’s natural immune defenses.*
