The following supplements are recommended for liver support while using gear, drinking alcohol, and/or taking oral medications known to cause liver damage over time. It is also good to use them to detoxify the system on a regular basis, even if you are not using gear, drinking alcohol, and/or taking oral medications known to cause liver damage over time.
Liver Support
Supplement Dosage Frequency
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Water 128+ ounces ED
Drinking water is instrumental in detoxification. Water flushes toxins and waste from the body and transports nutrients to where they are needed.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) 1000 mg ED
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is a natural anti-oxidant which has been used for years in Europe because of it's ability to help MAINTAIN AND RESTORE LIVER HEALTH. It's anti-oxidant capabilities are so ideal it has been called "a universal antioxidant" and has been used in the treatment of radiation and mushroom poisoning, alcoholic hepatitis, diabetes-related neuropathy and (most importantly) ELEVATED LIVER ENZYMES.
N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) 600-1000 mg ED
N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is the acetylated derivative of cysteine, a conditionally essential amino acid. For more information on cysteine, see the Product Summary for L-Cystine.
The availability of cysteine is believed to be rate-limiting for the synthesis of glutathione (GSH). GSH is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant. In addition to scavenging free radicals, GSH assists in keeping the active sulfhydryl (-SH) groups of cellular proteins (e.g., hormone receptors, enzymes) in a reduced state, necessary for proper functioning.
Milk Thistle (80% Silymarin) 600-1000 mg ED
Milk thistle was named Silybum by Dioscorides in 100 AD for its large purple thistle-like flower heads. Since ancient times, the plant was valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties. By the Middle Ages the seed of the Milk Thistle was commonly used to treat liver diseases, to promote the flow of bile, and as a general tonic for the stomach, spleen, gallbladder, female organs, and liver.
Selenium 800 mcg ED
Selenium works closely with Vitamin E as an antioxidant. It helps fight premature aging and hardening of the tissues through oxidation. Selenium helps with the male reproductive system.
Note: Anything over 800 mcg/day is toxic!
