Below the right rib cage is the largest and heaviest organ in the human body: the liver. Its most well-known task is to absorb harmful substances from the blood and convert them into waste products. An unhealthy lifestyle puts a lot of strain on this important detoxification function. But taking medication and environmental pollution can also put a lot of strain on the liver.

The liver doesn't just dispose of waste - it also transforms it. Together with the bile, it breaks down proteins from food and converts them into enzymes or hormones, for example. The liver also metabolizes fats and produces bile, which is important for fat digestion. Normal liver function is therefore very important for carbohydrate, fat, protein and hormone metabolism. Finally, the liver also serves as a depot: it stores vitamins and trace elements and sugar in the form of glycogen.

In Germany, around five million people suffer from a liver disease such as fatty liver or inflammation of the organ. Only around one in five of these diseases is discovered early, because a diseased liver does not hurt. Only non-specific symptoms such as tiredness or pressure in the upper abdomen can indicate a liver disease. For this reason alone, you should have regular check-ups with a full blood count and, if in doubt, follow up on any abnormal values ​​using ultrasound images and tissue samples.

Since all nutrients pass through the liver sooner or later, you should avoid harmful substances (especially alcohol) and include in your diet those that support the liver and gall bladder. These include artichokes and dandelions with their bitter substances. These plants, like milk thistle extracts, can also be bought as dietary supplements. Especially in challenging times, you should ensure you have an adequate supply of choline and alpha-lipoic acid. You can also significantly support your liver and thus your entire metabolism if you reduce any excess weight, exercise regularly and, if possible, prevent diabetes by eating a balanced diet.

With high-quality extracts from artichoke, dandelion and milk thistle fruits, Nobilin Leber Vital® already offers a whole lot that promotes digestion and supports the liver's work. The ingredients in dandelion also have a diuretic effect and stimulate the kidneys to excrete more harmful substances. Artichokes also promote fat metabolism and the production of bile. The silymarin in the milk thistle extract protects the liver from cell toxins and has an antioxidant effect. The unique mix is ​​rounded off by Nobilin Leber Vital ^® with alpha-lipoic acid, which protects the liver from oxidative damage, and with choline, which plays an important role in the removal of fats from the liver and thus contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.
