The liver is a critical player in detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient storage, and maintaining its health is vital for long-term wellness and quality of life. PureBulk carries numerous liver support supplements that can help preserve liver health and function.
Milk Thistle. Milk thistle has impressive liver-protective properties. It helps shield liver cells from toxins and promotes their regeneration. The active compound in milk thistle, silymarin, acts as an antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress in the liver. Silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis, aiding in liver cell repair and regeneration. It also enhances bile production for better digestion and toxin removal. [1 - 9]
N-acetyl l-cysteine (NAC). NAC is a powerful antioxidant that boosts the liver�s detoxification processes and protects against damage from toxins and oxidative stress. NAC is a precursor to glutathione, a critical antioxidant in the liver. NAC helps neutralize harmful free radicals and supports the liver's detoxification pathways by increasing glutathione levels. NAC is also a primary remedy for acetaminophen toxicity. [10 - 15]
Green tea extract. Green tea extract supports liver function and helps reduce fat accumulation. Rich in catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea extract exerts potent antioxidant effects, reducing oxidative stress in the liver. These catechins also promote lipid metabolism, helping to prevent fat buildup in the liver. PureBulk carries Green Tea Leaf Extract (50% Caffeine) Powder, Green Tea Leaf Extract (50% EGCG) Powder, and Green Tea Extract Powder (50% Polyphenols). [16 - 21]
Turmeric (Curcumin). Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory with antioxidant properties, which help protect the liver from damage and support its detoxification processes. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, reduces inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory molecules. It also enhances the liver�s antioxidant capacity by boosting the activity of various antioxidant enzymes, reducing oxidative stress. PureBulk carries curcumin as an extract powder and in softgel form. [22 - 29]
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). ALA is a versatile antioxidant that supports liver health by neutralizing free radicals and enhancing detoxification. ALA functions both in water and fat environments, making it a unique antioxidant. It directly scavenges free radicals and helps regenerate other antioxidants, like glutathione, maintaining the liver's antioxidant defense system. PureBulk carries R-ALA and RS-ALA. [30 - 35]
Glutathione. Glutathione is a critical antioxidant for liver health, directly involved in detoxification processes and protecting liver cells from damage. Glutathione neutralizes free radicals and helps detoxify harmful substances by binding to them and making them more water-soluble, facilitating their excretion from the body. [36 - 41]
Selenium. Selenium is an essential mineral that supports liver enzyme function and protects liver cells from oxidative damage. Selenium is a component of glutathione peroxidase, a crucial enzyme in the antioxidant defense system. It reduces hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides, protecting liver cells from oxidative damage. It also synergizes with other antioxidants, such as vitamin E, to protect against liver injury. [42 - 46]
Resveratrol. Resveratrol offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, supporting overall liver health and protecting against oxidative stress. Resveratrol activates pathways that enhance the liver's antioxidant defenses and reduce inflammation. It also modulates lipid metabolism, helping to prevent fatty liver buildup and related conditions. PureBulk carries Trans-Resveratrol Powder 50% and Trans-Resveratrol Powder Pure. [47 - 55]
Zinc. Zinc is essential for numerous enzymes involved in liver metabolism and the antioxidant defense to function. Zinc supports the activity of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), which protect liver cells from oxidative damage. It also helps maintain liver cell membranes' structural integrity. Additionally, zinc deficiencies can lead to chronic liver disorders. PureBulk carries numerous zinc supplements. However, zinc bis-glycinate and zinc picolinate have the best bioavailability. [56 - 60]
PureBulk offers a variety of liver support supplements. From the antioxidant powerhouses like milk thistle and NAC to the metabolic boosters like green tea extract and zinc, these supplements provide comprehensive support for maintaining liver function and protecting against damage. As always, consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it fits your health needs and doesn't conflict with any of your medications or existing conditions.
