How it works
The liver has many functions in the body. These include filtering blood
and the removing of bacteria, toxins and other particles from the
circulation. The liver is involved in the metabolism of fat, carbohydrate
and protein. It stores vitamins and minerals. The liver is involved in the
detoxification and excretion of various chemical compounds, such as
hormones, drugs and pesticides, into bile.
The liver makes and secretes bile. Many toxic substances are eliminated
from the body by bile. Bile is also used by the body for the absorption of
fat soluble substances, which includes vitamins A, D, E and K. Adequate
bile flow is important for a healthy liver.
Both artichoke and dandelion root have traditionally been used to
stimulate bile production. They also stimulate the movement of bile to the
gallbladder and then into the intestines. The ability of both these herbs
to increase bile flow helps improve fat metabolism in the body. Stimulating
bile flow can result in an increase in cholesterol and triglyceride
excretion.
Artichoke has a long history of supporting the liver. It helps to
protect the liver from toxins, as well as increasing the regeneration of
liver cells. Artichoke can also decrease how much cholesterol the liver
makes.
Vitamin C facilitates the action of an antioxidant enzyme called
glutathione peroxidase. Glutathione helps protect the liver cells from free
radicals. Vitamin C raises levels of the detoxifier glutathione by
increasing its rate of synthesis. Thus vitamin C has an important role in
protecting the liver from damage, as well as assisting the detoxification
mechanism.
