Liver Defense™ 600 mg 6O TABLETS
Liver Defense™ Immune Support for the Liver
Good
liver health is vital for good general health. The liver is a primary
organ of detoxification. Its maintenance and support has traditionally
been important in Chinese herbalism. Planetary Herbals Liver Defense™ is
based on one of the most well researched Chinese formulas for liver
health, Minor Bupleurum, also known as Sho-Saiko-To in Japan. Modern
studies show that Sho-Saiko-To supports healthy liver function and
enhanced immune response.
Planetary Herbals Liver Defense
contains some of the primary liver protecting botanicals of Chinese
herbalism such as bupleurum and Chinese skullcap along with the primary
immune and liver supportive botanicals astragalus, schizandra and milk
thistle. The latest scientific research not only confirms the wisdom of
these and other time-honored herbs, it offers particular benefits to our
contemporary world. This clinically derived Planetary Formula delivers
proven components for liver protection and revitalization.
The
liver is one of the most challenged organs in the body. In fact, it is
estimated that one in every 10 Americans has sub-optimal liver health.
The liver can become overburdened because it plays important roles in
detoxification, hormonal balance, fat regulation, nutrient and enzyme
activation, digestion and circulation. It manufactures and secretes bile
in order to absorb fat-soluble nutrients and eliminate toxic
substances. Liver Defense™ contains ingredients that have been shown
in scientific research to support healthy liver enzyme levels and
enhance immune response by promoting healthy cytokine levels. This
formula's ingredients have even been shown to support the body's own
interferon production-the complex protein that bolsters individual cell
defense mechanisms. The liver is also the only organ in the body that
regenerates itself. Many of the herbs in Liver Defense support this
regenerative process.
Liver Support Many studies have
been done on Sho-Saiko-To confirming its ability to enhance immune
response and support healthy liver function. The centerpiece of the
formula is bupleurum, a primary liver protecting botanical that contains
an important class of compounds known as saikosaponins. Another key
ingredient in Liver Defense is astragalus, shown in a number of studies
to stimulate the immune system and protect the liver. Astragalus also
stimulates natural killer cell activity and normalizes liver enzyme
levels. Also added is milk thistle, which has been extensively studied
for its liver supportive activity. Several human studies have shown the
protective effect of milk thistle in reducing liver enzyme levels of
humans. Schizandra has been shown to improve liver enzyme levels in
humans and provide liver protection in animal studies. Additional liver
supportive herbs include licorice root, jujube, ginseng, Chinese
skullcap, and ginger root.
