LG Cleanse (Liver, Gall Bladder)

Natural Factors LG Cleanse is an important herbal formulation that supports the liver and gallbladder, containing standardized extracts of the primary herbs, milk thistle and turmeric.

A primary function of the liver (more than 500 functions of the liver have been identified) is detoxification. The liver neutralizes harmful poisons into harmless substances. As our prime defense against toxins, a fully functioning liver is essential.

Milk thistle Extract: counteracts the effects of pollutants and has liver-protective effects. Silymarin, the active substance in milk thistle, is a powerful antioxidant, protecting the liver from damage due to toxins and can actually regenerate liver tissue. The results of numerous studies suggest that silymarin has considerable therapeutic potential, protecting intact liver cells or cells not yet irreversibly damaged by acting on the cell membranes to prevent the entry of toxic substances.

Turmeric Extract: contains components, particularly curcumin, that prevent liver damage and has been used for many centuries to treat and support the liver. Turmeric is especially helpful for persons who drink alcohol regularly or frequently use common painkillers like Tylenol: both damage the liver with long term use.

Dandelion: contains enzyme-like substances that stimulate the function of larger organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Dandelion is regarded as one of the finest liver remedies, as both food and medicine. Studies have shown that dandelion enhances the flow of bile, improving such conditions as liver congestion, bile duct inflammation, hepatitis, gallstones, and jaundice.

Artichoke Powder: Artichoke protects the liver from poisonous effects of toxins in a manner similar to silymarin from milk thistle. Artichoke extract has many of the same properties as milk thistle extract. It is able to prevent liver damage from the same wide range of poisons as milk thistle.

Celandine Powder: ancient liver remedy that increases the flow of bile.
