The liver  is a large glandular organ, whose functions include storage and filtration of blood, secretion of bile, detoxification of various substances and conversion of sugars into glycogen, which it stores.  The liver is also responsible for processing many vitamins and nutrients into a form that can be used by the body, and eliminating toxic chemicals.

Modern living involves daily exposure to substances that are toxic to our bodies, which imposes a heavy load on the liver.  Therefore, a good healthy liver is critical to well-being.  Certain lifestyle risks and medical conditions make it all the more important to ensure that the liver is being maintained at its functional best.

In Europe and Asia herbal liver tonics have been in common use for centuries. The effectiveness of the herbs used has been validated during the past decades through modern research and clinical studies. These herbs generally contain antioxidants, cell membrane stablising agents, bile secretion enhancing compounds, or nutrients that prevent depletion of endogenous antioxidants such as glutathione. Liver protection is not only beneficial for the liver but the whole body.
