Source Naturals, Liver Guard, Bio-Aligned Formula, 60 Tablets

Liver Guard is a Bio-Aligned Formula, designed to protect and defend you from the toxins and pollution that pervade the environment. Liver Guard addresses multiple body systems involved with optimal liver function, which is crucial to detoxification: liver cleansing and restoration, fat metabolism, antioxidant production and defense, and energy generation. Lipoic acid, silymarin and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) are potent antioxidants that support healthy liver function. NAC is a precursor to glutathione, one of the liver's primary free-radical scavengers. And silymarin, the active flavonoid complex of the herb milk thistle, has been shown in vitro to inhibit lipid peroxidation of cell membranes.

Liver Guard - Silymarin, CoQ10, and N-Acetyl Cysteine Complex
Much as we try to live healthy lifestyles, it's impossible to avoid the toxins and pollution that pervade our environment. LIVER GUARD addresses the multiple body systems involved with optimal liver function, which is so crucial to detoxification. Liver Guard supports liver cleansing, fat metabolism, antioxidant defense, and energy generation.

• Cleansing & Restoration
  The functions of the liver are diverse, complex, and absolutely necessary for human metabolism. As one of the primary organs of detoxification, the liver is exposed to a vast array of chemicals, drugs and pollutants, especially in our modern world. Traditionally, the following herbs have been used to promote the flow of bile, cleanse, detoxify, and restore the liver.
  
  
• Fat Metabolism
  The liver is the primary metabolizer of fats and cholesterol, so it is particularly important to keep these substances circulating freely. Lipotropic agents function to mobilize lipids and remove excess fats from the liver.
  
  
• Antioxidant Defense
  In the process of its metabolic and detoxification functions, the liver generates and is exposed to many free radicals. The following antioxidant compounds protect the protein, lipid and DNA of the liver from free radicals. Vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 are active in cell membranes, while vitamin C and lipoic acid function in the intracellular fluid.
  
  
• Antioxidant Production
  The liver synthesizes the antioxidant, glutathione, and the antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase - perhaps the most important antioxidants made by the body. Glutathione peroxidase contains four selenium atoms. It catalyzes the oxidation of glutathione, present in all animal cells at high concentration. Cysteine is the rate-limiting factor for glutathione synthesis. These two molecules safeguard cells against oxidation and maintain the integrity of red blood cells.
  
  
• Energy Generation
  The liver requires a tremendous amount of energy to perform its diverse metabolic functions, which include maintaining a normal blood glucose concentration, forming cholesterol and phospholipids, and synthesizing amino acids, plasma proteins and other important compounds. In addition, this vital organ converts vitamins into their active co-enzyme forms and breaks down and excretes drugs and hormones. The following nutrients are required by the liver for its energy needs.
