Liver protection, maintaining liver health
What can we do for liver health?
- Healthy diet: Eat enough vegetables, fruit, whole grains, healthy fats and avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
- Weight control: avoid overweight, because overweight can increase the risk of developing fatty liver.
- Adequate water intake: Drink enough water to help remove toxins
In addition to the above, bile acids and soy lecithin, which are found in GALLMET-Extra capsules, also have a positive effect on liver health.
Soya lecithin
Soya lecithin plays a beneficial role in protecting against liver damage and may prevent liver cirrhosis by reducing inflammation of liver cells. It reduces the accumulation of harmful substances in the liver, increases choline levels and the activity of an enzyme that helps break down harmful substances in the liver. Since lecithin's primary role is to break down and emulsify fat, it can help prevent fatty liver disease. Soy lecithin can therefore help restore normal liver structure and function, aid liver cell regeneration and protect the liver from damage.
Bile acids
Over the past decade, the effects of bile acids have been widely studied in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Studies support a role for bile acids in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver, but the mechanism of action is not yet fully understood.
Milk thistle and artichoke, also known from folk medicine, have a positive effect on liver health and can be found in GALLMET - Milk Thistle + Artichoke capsules.
Milk thistle
'Milk thistle has been used for hundreds of years to protect the liver and treat liver diseases, including fatty liver disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis. Silymarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle, protects intact and not yet irreversibly damaged liver cells. In clinical trials in patients with fatty liver disease, silymarin treatment significantly reduced mortality.'
Artichoke
Artichokes have been shown to have antioxidant, bile stimulant, hepatoprotective and lipid-lowering effects, and ongoing research suggests that they have a particularly beneficial effect on the liver. In one study, liquid extracts of artichoke roots and leaves have been shown to protect the liver and possibly even promote liver cell regeneration.
