Patient One LiverCare 60 Vegetable Capsules

Patient One LiverCare™ is a synergistic blend of antioxidants,herbs and nutrients that enhance the body’s ability to detoxify and protect the liver. This combination aids in fat metabolism within the liver, supports the safe elimination of toxins and supplies antioxidants to help protect against free radical damage. With the high incidence of toxic chemicals in our environment, food, water, medications and even body tissues, some individuals experience an accumulation of harmful compounds in their bodies. Additionally, fat buildup in the liver can lead to compromised liver health.

Key Ingredients

Milk Thistle, an herb native to the Mediterranean, has been broadly used for its nutritional support of liver function for two centuries. Seeds of the dried milk thistle ower are rich in silymarin, a bioflavonoid complex of silybin, silydianin, and silychristin. Silymarin helps protect the liver from free radical damage, supports glutathione concentrations and promotes superoxide dismutase activity. Milk thistle extract also stimulates protein synthesis in hepatic cells.

Vitamin C aids the body’s detoxification process by providing protection from free radicals. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and is especially effective in helping the body rid itself of heavy metals.

Selenium is a trace mineral with an important role in detoxification. It is a cofactor for the production of glutathione peroxidase, a form of glutathione that enhances antioxidant protection against free radical damage. Selenium assists in the elimination of heavy metals by enhancing the activity of lymphocytes and macrophages.

L-Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that directly extinguishes several reactive oxygen species (free radicals). It occurs naturally in cells, and the liver is the body's largest reservoir for glutathione. Its main role is to support the body’s natural detoxification pathways, as it is essential for the liver's phase I and phase II detoxification. Negative lifestyle issues and adverse conditions that affect liver health can result in a decreased amount of glutathione in the liver.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant that boosts tissue glutathione levels and also plays a role in binding heavy metals. ALA has been shown to promote insulin sensitivity and support a healthy inflammatory response. ALA has also been shown to improve liver antioxidative capacity by increasing total superoxide dismutase (SOD), manganese SOD, and copper/zinc-SOD activity as well as glutathione content.

Dandelion root has been studied for its protective effects on the liver, specifically against insults caused by toxic chemicals. Dandelion contains protective flavonoids shown to have a capacity to scavenge free radicals, sequester metal ions, and reduce the breakage of supercoiled DNA strands induced by hydroxyl free radicals.

Artichoke extract aids the digestive process by promoting healthy bile flow and intestinal motility, reducing toxin exposure in the gut. It also supports healthy hepatic cell function and blood flow in the liver. Studies have shown antioxidative and protective properties against oxidative stress in animal hepatocytes. Also, it has shown to provide protection of lipoprotein from oxidation and inhibition of hemolysis in vitro.

BroccoSinolate® Broccoli extract:
Broccoli sprouts are a rich source of glucosinolates and isothiocyanates that induce phase II detoxication enzymes and boost antioxidant status. Glucosinolates are hydrolyzed by myrosinase (an enzyme found in plants and bowel microflora) to form isothiocyanates. BroccoSinolate® was developed to capitalize on the health benefits of glucosinolates.

Turmeric extract has notable antioxidant activity. The combined actions of curcumin and silymarin include enhancing phase II detoxification enzymes, supporting glutathione synthesis and promoting gastric, colon and liver cell functions.

BioPerine® Black Pepper, a patented extract derived from the common black pepper fruit that contains the alkaloid piperine, has been shown to enhance the bioavailability and promote absorption of turmeric curcumin, Vitamin C and Selenium
