While all of the organs in our body are vital to our health in one way or another, the liver is undoubtedly one of the most important. It is responsible for filtering out harmful substances, it is involved in the production of many important proteins and it also has a significant role in the process of digesting any food that is consumed. Simply put, if your liver isn’t in good health, the consequences can be very severe. However, in the event that you are suffering from a condition (such as hepatitis, cancer or cirrhosis) that impairs the functioning of the liver and it’s no longer able to fulfil the roles we just mentioned effectively, natural liver supplements have, in some cases, proven to have a positive impact upon the health of the liver. However, it must be stressed that you should never incorporate liver supplements into your diet without first consulting a medical professional in Toronto.
Some of the Most Well-Known Natural Liver Supplements
There are quite literally thousands of liver supplements available today, but Sagee Canada Wellness believes in sticking to all-natural ingredients. Some of the most well known natural liver supplements include:
- Milk Thistle – For those of you that don’t know what milk thistle is, it’s a flowering herb that is native in several Mediterranean countries and is a relative to the daisy and ragweed family. It is thought that milk thistle helps to safeguard the liver from harmful toxins, while at the same time improving its ability to regenerate healthy cells. It is taken to try and help a variety of liver problems including hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis and gallbladder problems, and is not known to have any serious side-effects. In some cases it may cause diarrhea, nausea, bloating and gas. Please be aware that the consumption of milk thistle may affect the functioning of other medications, so always speak to a doctor first.
- Schisandra Berries – The berries produced by the schisandra plant have long been used as a form of natural medicine and medical research has shown that in some cases it can be one of the most effective liver supplements for patients suffering from hepatitis, boosting liver functioning significantly and reducing the presence of an enzyme known as SGPT (a known indicator of liver damage). Don’t take this without first consulting your doctor as it could have a number of side effects including heartburn, a decrease in appetite or an upset stomach.
- Licorice – While you might associate this name with the black coloured candy, licorice is a plant and it’s root is used in a range of medicines. Like the other naturally occurring liver supplements we have described above, licorice has been used to help treat Hepatitis B & C and is known to be an effective way to treat heartburn.
