Natural Liver Detox + Support?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi all,

I recently had an ultrasound that suspected either fatty liver or some other liver disease. I have not received my blood work and MRI results back yet (it's been 9 days!) I have had a lot of issues in the past that could be pointed toward my liver not functioning very well, but I also have a methylation issue with a homoxygous MTHFR C677T gene defect. There has been some research that links the two issues together. Either way. I was interested in some natural liver detoxes and supporting herbs/supplements that could be helpful in assisting my liver to do it's job more efficiently. Sort of a way to plan on supporting my body moving forward. 😊

    Hi, you can take milk thistle as a supplement. It helps restore the liver and also protect it.

    Hi bearsoup, & a supplement called SAM-e (s-adenosylmethionine) has been shown helpful with methylation issues.  

    Always best to run anything you are considering past your doc, but SAM-e has both a remarkable safety record, and substantial research behind it regarding liver health.  

    Many recommend taking B-Complex vitamins when taking SAM-e to prevent possible homocysteine elevation. 

    Hope this helps.
