Liver and Milk Thistle

Did you know the liver is the largest glandular organ in the body?  

One of it’s main functions is to act as a primary filtering organ for the body, making it essential for detoxification. Keeping the liver healthy and functioning is one of the most important things we can do for our health.

The liver produces substances that break down fats properly. We can easily gain weight if it's overloaded. It makes certain amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. It stores vitamins and minerals, and helps maintain proper blood sugar levels.

It's also responsible for substances that build and maintain hormone levels. Poor diet, toxins, and some medications can create unnecessary liver stress. So how should we support this vital organ? The key herb for liver support is milk thistle.

It is a Mediterranean plant that has been used for centuries. Several studies show that milk thistle can actually regenerate liver cells that have been damaged by cirrhosis and infectious hepatitis. So keep your liver healthy and give it what it needs.
