Your liver is one of the most vital organs in your body. It has a wide range of functions, including detoxification, hormone regulation, nutrient digestion and storage, protein synthesis and fat burning. Nearly everything you eat must be processed by your liver before it can be distributed throughout your body.

Perhaps your liver doesn’t function as well as it could. Maybe you don’t feel as great as you could. Perhaps your energy level and mental clarity aren’t as good as they might be if your liver was healthier. There are a range of reasons why you might benefit from taking a liver tonic.

The LivaTone range of powders and vegetarian capsules contain a combination of specific liver herbs with synergistic nutrients. These are designed to support efficient liver function.

Liver tonics are helpful if you -

  • Are using prescription drugs – these must be broken down by the liver and many people are taking several drugs every day which greatly increases the workload of the liver.
  • Are using over the counter drugs, especially painkillers or acetaminophen - these must be broken down by the liver and can be particularly liver toxic if excess or daily doses are used. Acetaminophen uses up a lot of glutathione in your body. Taking an n-acetyl cysteine supplement can help to restore glutathione levels.
  • Drink seven or more glasses of alcohol a week - many Americans and Australians consume excess alcohol making it one of the most common causes of liver disease.
  • Smoke cigarettes.
  • Consume sugar, fast foods or chemical food additives.
  • Live in a major city- where you are exposed to automobile exhausts, factory smog, crowded dirty places, water chlorination, fluoride and heavy metals etc.
  • Suffer from a liver infection; this affects hundreds of thousands of people all over the world — and many don’t even know they are infected.
  • Are over 40 years of age - as you get older the various tubes and ducts leading from and to your liver, as well as the internal liver filter itself, often become clogged. They become laden with unhealthy fats, multiple toxins, gallstones, sludge, hardened tissues and waste products of metabolism.
  • Drink soft drinks and/or diet soft drinks containing artificial sweeteners, especially the sweetener aspartame.
  • Are exposed to toxic  chemicals  and  pollutants such as - insecticides, some antiperspirants, solvents, glues, aerosol sprays, some detergents, cosmetics, ammonia, hair dyes, nail varnish, disinfectants etc. – you may be exposed to these things at work or in the home.
  • Do not drink enough pure water.
  • Lack antioxidants in your diet.
  • Have high cholesterol and/or triglycerides.
  • Have skin problems.

There are many other reasons that would make it wise to take a liver tonic on a regular daily basis or at the very least, twice a year for a two month course each time. This is especially true in the 21st century when the world has become increasingly polluted and crowded, and liver infections are increasing.

Your liver processes most of the approximately 400 million kilograms of toxic chemicals and drugs released into the environment every year. An overload of these toxins can easily wear out your liver and leave you prone to developing a range of health problems.
