A Strong Liver

[Dave P]

Does anyone know where I can find information on vitamins that help strengthen the liver?

Or do you know what vitamins strenghen the liver?

I take normal multi-vitamins, just wondering if there was a specific vitamin that helps the liver out.


Thanks

I believe that milk thistle and artichoke are supposed to be good? I kinda wonder myself after a decade of binge-drinkin'!

It doesn't really work that way. Your body constantly works to keep the liver strong and you can help it out by living a healthy lifestyle and reducing insult to the liver aka. don't drink. But really, I don't think you have much to worry about if you're not a chronic alcoholic and if you aren't popping painkillers on a daily basis.

Once or twice a year I would go on a liquid diet. Juice veggies and fruits for breakfast and lunch and dinner for a week or so. When you fast, your liver and the rest of the body will squeeze out all toxins faster.

You can also take this.

One thing unique about this product is that the Bromelain Powder (from pineapple, I believe) helps to produce bile from get rid of the toxins.

Like all herbs, do your research. Milk thistle cannot be taken under certain circumstances.

Grapefruit juice is apparently very good for the ol' liver!
