Ingredients explained
Silymarin (from Milk Thistle Seed Extract, 80% standardised)
Silymarin interacts with liver cell membranes and antioxidant systems, where it may help stabilise cells and support detoxification enzyme activity.
Caution: May interact with medicines metabolised by the liver; take a few hours apart from medications to avoid absorption timing overlap.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
NAC supplies cysteine to support glutathione production, which may aid antioxidant defence and normal detoxification processes.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some people; take with water and food if sensitive.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid functions as a redox-active compound that may help recycle antioxidants like vitamins C and E and support cellular energy metabolism.
Caution: May lower blood sugar in some individuals; monitor how you feel if you have variable energy after meals.
Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale)
Dandelion root contains bitter compounds that may stimulate digestive secretions and support normal bile flow.
Caution: Has mild diuretic effects; ensure adequate fluid intake to stay hydrated.
Trimethylglycine (TMG, from natural betaine)
TMG donates methyl groups that may support normal homocysteine metabolism in the liver.
Caution: Those on methylation-support supplements may wish to start with the labelled serving to assess tolerance.
How they work together
Silymarin supports liver cell integrity while NAC and alpha-lipoic acid back the glutathione and antioxidant network. Dandelion root adds digestive bitters that may encourage bile flow, and TMG contributes methyl groups for normal liver-based metabolic processes.
