Astragalus, milk thistle, and schisandra are also included for broad-spectrum liver maintenance and protection.

Liver Defense - Immune Support for the Liver
The liver is one of the most challenged organs in the body. In fact, it is estimated that one in every 10 Americans has sub-optimal liver health. The liver can become overburdened because it plays important roles in detoxification, hormonal balance, fat regulation, nutrient and enzyme activation, digestion and circulation. It manufactures and secretes bile in order to absorb fatsoluble nutrients and eliminate toxic substances. Liver Defense. contains ingredients that have been shown in scientific research to support healthy liver enzyme levels and enhance immune response by promoting healthy cytokine levels. This formula's ingredients have even been shown to support the body's own interferon production - the complex protein that bolsters individual cell defense mechanisms. The liver is also the only organ in the body that regenerates itself. Many of the herbs in Liver Defense support this regenerative process.
