Natural & Alternative Health Products ShopLiver Health
The liver is the body's second largest organ and certainly the busiest, performing 500 separate tasks in the body. Its primary job-the everyday process of neutralizing toxins-produces an extraordinary number of free radicals, which can occasionally damage its own tissues. It is for this reason that the liver possesses the remarkable ability to regenerate itself. Despite its size -weighing in at about three pounds with the approximate volume of a football - we would never know it was there unless something went wrong with it.
But how do you know if your liver is sick? Look for signs like fatigue, 'overnight' allergies and chemical sensitivities, discomfort in the right-side of your abdomen, weight gain, poor skin, intolerance to alcohol and darkish urine.
In the US, 25,000,000 people are afflicted with liver disease or gallbladder disease (the galibladder stores bile produced by the liver). Every year, 43,000 people die from liver-related disorders.
HepatoGen (found in this section) has been designed to benefit anyone with hepatitis, cirrhosis or elevated liver enzymes from any cause. HepatoGen contains factors that have been shown in clinical research to have significant regenerative effects on the liver.
The most common cause of liver disease is excess alcohol. B 1, C and N-Acetyl Cysteine helps detoxify the breakdown products of alcohol. Intox Rx is an effective liver formula as well, with its principle ingredient, Kudzu Extract, known to help detoxify alcohol and prevent the desire for alcohol in alcoholics.
Mercury poisoning and mercury toxicity is becoming increasingly recognized as a serious problem - from mercury amalgams in our teeth, to mercury in immunizations, and in fish. For those desiring complete and thorough mercury detoxification, DMSA (dimercapto succinic acid) is a very specific and effective chelator for mercury.
