Ingredients explained
Silymarin (from Milk Thistle Seed Extract)
Silymarin acts as an antioxidant in liver cells and may support normal cellular defenses and membrane stability against everyday oxidative stress.
Caution: If you have a history of ragweed or related plant sensitivities, monitor for reactions because milk thistle is in the Asteraceae family.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
NAC supplies cysteine to help the body make glutathione, a key antioxidant involved in normal detoxification pathways.
Caution: May interact with certain medications and can cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid functions as a universal antioxidant that helps recycle other antioxidants like vitamins C and E and supports normal mitochondrial energy processes.
Caution: Can affect blood sugar levels; monitor if you manage blood sugar and take with food if stomach upset occurs.
TMG (Trimethylglycine)
TMG donates methyl groups that support normal homocysteine metabolism and hepatic methylation processes.
Caution: May cause stomach upset in sensitive individuals; adequate hydration can help tolerance.
Dandelion Root (Taraxacum officinale)
Dandelion root contains bitter compounds that may promote bile flow and support normal digestive and liver functions.
Caution: Has natural diuretic properties; consider timing to avoid nighttime urination and use caution if you have kidney concerns.
How they work together
Silymarin provides antioxidant membrane support for liver cells, while NAC and alpha-lipoic acid reinforce the body’s glutathione and antioxidant systems. TMG supports methylation processes relevant to normal liver metabolism, and dandelion root adds gentle digestive and bile flow support to complement nutrient processing.
