The liver, located under the diaphragm just above the stomach, is the largest organ of the body. Countless chemical reactions take place in the liver every day, including the syntheses if amino acids, sugar conversion and storage, and storage of some vitamins and minerals. It also products lecithin, cholesterol, enzymes and bile and detoxifies harmful substances such as pesticides, food additives and environmental pollutants. The liver plays the key role of processor and distributor in metabolism, furnishing by way of the blood stream a proper combination of nutrients to all other organs and tissues.
ZINC. Zinc is and essential trace element which participates in many functions of the body. Some liver functions require the presence of zinc and its deficiency is common in chronic liver disease. According to scientific research results, it has been suggested that zinc supplementation may improve detrimental liver conditions with supplementation of zinc chelates.
MILK THISTLE. This herb has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for diseases of the liver and biliary tract. As interest in alternative therapy has emerged in the United States, gastroenterologists have encountered the increasing numbers of patients taking Milk Thistle. The active ingredients in the herb have been reported to work as antioxidants scavenging free radical and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. There are two main areas in which this herb is used. Research has shown that it promotes the regeneration of diseased liver cells and protects them against some poisons. This exciting finding gives Milk Thistle a role in any chronic liver disease and especially those due to alcohol, drug or dietary abuse. It will also aid gallbladder problems.
BARBERRY. Barberry is an excellent remedy for correcting liver function and promoting the flow of bile. It is indicated when there is an inflammation of the gallbladder or in the presence of gallstones. When jaundice occurs due to a congested state of the liver, Barberry is also indicated.
