Liver Detox optimizes the liver’s ability to clean itself.* With a full gamut of nutrients that support detoxification and liver regeneration, Liver Detox is your go-to supplement for liver support.* Not only is the liver one of the most important parts of the GI system, it plays a primary role in metabolic health. Liver Detox is suitable for individuals who want general liver support or those concerned about low liver function due to medications, alcohol, or environmental chemicals.*

 Poliquin products are now labeled PQN. Same formulas. Same quality. New name.

Description

Liver Detox provides a specially formulated blend of ingredients that support the liver and improve the body’s detoxification processes.*  Liver Detox is your one-stop-shop liver supplement providing milk thistle to quench free radicals, chlorella to defend against organic pollutants, and cilantro that protects from harmful heavy metals.*

Why Is A Healthy Liver Important?
Having your liver in tip-top shape is crucial for health and performance. The liver has two main roles:

1. Metabolic: The liver processes carbohydrates, fat, and proteins to provide energy for physical activity and brain function. It’s also involved in protein synthesis and recovery from exercise.

2. Detoxification: The liver neutralizes harmful compounds so they can be safely eliminated by the body.

Benefits of Liver Detox
Detoxification is a nutrient-dense process, requiring vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Because many people eat nutrient-poor diets, they aren’t providing the raw materials necessary for the liver to clean itself. Liver Detox fills this gap, supplying nutrients that help fuel the detoxification process and counter inflammation*:

• Shilajit is used in Ayurvedic medicine as a “rejuvenator” due to its antioxidant action and ability to protect liver cells from cancer.*
• EDTA Calcium Di-Sodium is a chelating agent that binds to metals in the blood so they can be safely removed from the body.*
• Chlorella is a nutrient-rich algae that supplies amino acids, fiber, vitamins, and trace minerals that support liver function.*
• Garlic Extract activates liver enzymes that promote cleansing. It is a natural antioxidant that can help neutralize toxins during Phase 2 of detoxification and protect against mercury exposure.*
• N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) is a natural antioxidant that directly protects the liver from free radicals produced during Phase 1 detoxification.*
• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential antioxidant that protects the liver against free radical damage.*
• Milk Thistle, also known as silymarin, is a potent antioxidant that helps repair damaged liver cells. Used for centuries as a liver “tonic,” milk thistle stabilizes liver cell membranes to protect them from free radical damage.*
• Alpha Lipoic Acid is a fatty acid with powerful antioxidant and metabolic effects. It protects the liver by decreasing inflammation in response to toxins, such as alcohol or acetaminophen.*
• Glycine is an amino acid that supports the liver’s role as a detoxifier and metabolic organ. It is also a precursor to the master antioxidant glutathione.*
• Cilantro Leaf  helps detoxify dangerous heavy metals, such as lead, lowering oxidative stress in the GI tract.*

Quick Facts

Understanding Detoxification
Detoxification is a vital physiological task. You would die if your body wasn’t detoxifying daily. It all revolves around your liver. The liver processes all the waste products, foreign compounds, and other toxins, such as spent hormones, that your body no longer needs.

There are three phases of detoxification:

In phase 1 detoxification, the liver filters and transforms toxic substances by removing them from the blood. Enzymes act on toxins to neutralize them by binding them with an antioxidant. This process produces toxic free radicals, which can damage liver cells and other tissues if not shuttled into phase 2 detoxification right away.

In phase 2 detoxification, the new molecule produced in phase 1 binds with an amino acid or sulfurous compound, producing a water-soluble molecule that is easier to eliminate.

In phase 3, the liver passes the job off to the kidney and intestines to be excreted.

Because your liver is always in detoxification mode, you need it to be in prime shape. Taking Liver Detox supports the liver when it needs to regenerate.*  Another way to support detoxication is with habits that support the liver on a daily basis.* Exercise and nutrition are two lifestyle factors that can support the liver for optimal detoxification and health.

What Makes Liver Detox Different?
Liver Detox provides universal liver support with ingredients that target all aspects of liver health and function.*  It’s a one-stop-shop liver supplement that aids with complete elimination of waste products and toxins from the body.*  This is important: Sometimes toxins “break free” and re-enter circulation, never being removed from the body.

Liver Detox supports the body through all three phases for complete detoxification:

First,Liver Detox provides amino acids and milk thistle to help the liver regenerate.*  Second, this supplement uses powerful antioxidant nutrients (shilajit, chlorella, ascorbic acid, garlic, ALA) to counter the free radicals produced during Phase 1 detoxification.*  Third, glycine and N-acetyl-l-cysteine provide the building blocks for the body to synthesize glutathione, which has dual detoxifying and antioxidant roles in the body.*  This supplement also contains natural chelators that help the body eliminate harmful heavy metals.*

Most important, Liver Detox provides the components for Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification to work simultaneously.*  Both phases need to be working at an equal rate. Otherwise Phase 1 compounds, which are reactive and considered “dirty” will not efficiently enter Phase 2. Instead, they may continue circulating, damaging cells and tissue in the body.

Who Should Take Liver Detox?

• Individuals with high levels of environmental toxin exposure, either to excess hormones, chemical compounds, or heavy metals.*
• Individuals with inflammation-associated chronic diseases.*
• Individuals who regularly take over-the-counter or prescription medications.*
• Anyone who wants extra detoxification support.*
• Older individuals who want to support liver health and combat the debilitative effects of aging.*
• Individuals with symptoms of poor liver health, such as regular allergies, depression and low mood, lack of energy, or skin conditions.*
• Individuals with metabolic disorders such as diabetes, pre-diabetes, or problems with blood glucose regulation and fat burning.*

Who Should Not Take It?

• There are no contraindications to this supplement, however, individuals with liver or kidney disease should speak with a doctor prior to taking it.
• Talk to your healthcare practitioner prior to taking Liver Detox if you are taking medications.
• Do not take if you are pregnant or nursing.
