Product Description
Thorne Liver Cleanse supports liver function. The botanical ingredients in this formula promote the production and flow of bile, which helps to optimize metabolism and the excretion of substances detoxified by the liver. Liver Cleanse is specifically helpful during a comprehensive detoxification program. Prior to starting a detoxification program it is important to achieve optimal bowel function. Therefore important to include a fiber formula, to support the elimination of toxins from the body by binding the toxins released into the intestines from the liver and preventing their reabsorption. The liver employs a two-phase method of detoxification. In phase I, fat-soluble substances, including toxins, are converted by the cytochrome p450 enzymes into intermediate substances that, while they are now more water-soluble, are not yet ready to be eliminated. Then, in phase II, the intermediate substances created during phase I are attached to glutathione, sulfur, or methyl groups that make them sufficiently water-soluble so as to be excreted from the liver in the bile. The suggested starting use of Liver Cleanse is to take one capsule in the evening. If additional liver cleansing is indicated, then supplementation can be gradually increase.
Recommended use: Take 1 capsule, 1-3 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
