How often do you actually think about your liver?
Most people never. It's just there. Doing its thing. But your liver is working harder than almost any other organ in your body—processing everything you eat, drink, and consume.
It's filtering. It's detoxifying. It's metabolizing. 24/7. No breaks.
And most of us do absolutely nothing to support it. We just use it. Hard.
In this episode, we're talking about liver support supplements—tools that can help you take care of the organ that's been taking care of you.
You'll learn:
Here's what matters: Your liver is processing everything. Every food. Every drink. Every toxin. It's filtering, detoxifying, metabolizing—constantly.
When your liver is working well, you feel good. Energy is stable. Digestion works. Hormones are balanced.
When it's struggling, everything suffers: brain fog, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, slow recovery.
Taking a proactive approach to liver health means better energy, better digestion, and better overall function.
Your liver supports everything. When you support your liver, everything works better.

Hi there.
Let me ask you something.
How often do you think about your liver?
Honestly, be real.
Most people never think about it.
It's just there doing its thing.
Your heart, you know that's important.
Your brain, definitely.
But your poor old liver, it's working harder than almost any organ in your body.
And we completely take it for granted.
Here's what's crazy.
Your poor liver processes everything.
Every food you eat, every drink you have, every medication you take, and every toxin
you're exposed to.
It's filtering, detoxifying, metabolizing, processing 24/7.
No breaks.
And most of us are doing absolutely nothing to support it.
We're just using it hard.
So today we're talking about liver support supplements.
Those that can help you take care of the organ that's taking care of you.
All right, let's go.
Let's get basic for a second.
Your liver is an incredible organ.
It's responsible for detoxification, so that means filtering out harmful substances, metabolism,
so processing nutrients and fats, protein synthesis, so building muscle and other structures,
file production, so that supporting digestion, nutrient storage, so storing vitamins and
minerals and hormone regulation.
Basically, your liver is involved in almost every metabolic process in your body.
When your liver is working well, you feel good.
Energy is stable.
Digestion works and hormones are balanced.
When your liver is struggling, everything suffers.
So that means brain fog, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances and slow recovery.
But here's the thing.
Most people don't even realize their liver is struggling until there is a real problem.
By then, damage has been happening for years, so why not support it before it becomes an
issue?
Here's the reality.
Your liver is more challenged now than it's ever been.
More processed foods, more alcohol, more medications, more environmental toxins, more stress.
So your liver is literally working overtime to keep up with modern day living.
And most of us aren't giving it any support.
It's like running at car hard every day without ever changing oil.
Eventually, it is going to struggle and the good news is your liver is incredibly resilient.
This support can recover and function optimally again.
So let's talk about supplements that research has investigated for liver support.
The first one on our list here is milk thistle.
So milk thistle has been traditionally used for centuries to support liver health.
The active compound has been extensively researched for its potential predictive properties.
Please suggest milk thistle may support liver health and may help maintain healthy liver function.
Your typical use here is around 150 to 300 milligrams of the active ingredient daily.
The second thing on my list here is NAC.
So NAC is a amino acid precursor to glutathione.
And this is glutathione is one of the body's most powerful antioxidants.
Our glutathione is critical for liver detoxification and protection.
And some research indicates NAC may support healthy glutathione levels and liver antioxidant
capacity.
So your typical use here is around 600 to 1200 milligrams daily.
The third thing on my list here is turmeric and kookamin.
We've mentioned kookamin before and here for liver specifically kookamin research suggests
it may help support your healthy liver inflammation response and liver cell function.
Kookamin is traditionally used to support bile production and digestive support.
So your typical use here is 500 to 1000 Angie's of kookamin daily.
All right.
My fourth thing on the list here is this is a combo so it's milk, this is an auto choke.
So auto choke lead is traditionally used to support liver and gallbladder function.
When combined with milk, this is a traditionally used to support a comprehensive liver health.
Research suggests this combination may support healthy liver function and bile flow.
And your typical use here is like I said for milk thistle it is around 150 milligrams
to 300 milligrams of the active ingredient per day.
And the auto choke lead is I think that is around about 100 milligrams per day.
Let me just double check that with one second.
You'd be able to think for one second.
So this one is around about 450 milligrams per day.
The fifth one on my list here is co-ling.
So co-ling is an essential nutrient involved in fat metabolism and liver cell structure.
Your liver uses co-ling to put process and transport fats and studies suggest adequate
co-ling intake may support healthy fat metabolism and liver function.
So your typical use here is around 425 milligrams per day.
And the sixth one here is a B complex.
So your liver requires B vitamins to support its metabolic indeed toxification functions.
Many people are deficient in B vitamins which can impair liver function.
And so the researcher indicates B vitamins supplement are support sorry may help maintain
optimal liver metabolic function.
That was a mouthful.
So here's the practical approach here.
The foundation is your B complex, your milk vessel.
These provide your basic support for liver function and our and work for most people.
Additional support if you want more comprehensive liver support consider adding NAC, turmeric
and co-ling.
Lifestyle factors as always are non-negotiable so limit alcohol consumption, reduce your
process foods, stay hydrated, support your healthy body weight and get remember regular
movement and exercise and as always manage stress.
The important part is supplements always support that healthy lifestyle they don't replace
it.
You still have to make those smart choices about what you eat and drink.
You still have to move and you still have to manage your stress.
But with targeted supplement support you give your liver the tools and needs to handle
what you throw at it.
So liver support like anything in life is not immediate.
Your liver is a resilient organ but it takes time to recover and rebuild.
So week one to four you're establishing that consistent supplementation.
Week eight four to eight some people report they may feel slight improvements in energy
digestion.
Your week eight to twelve with consistent support some people report feeling more energetic
and notice improved digestion and mother four to six continue support may lead to more
noticeable improvements in energy digestion and overall well being.
Like everything results may vary between individuals and the key here is as always is consistency
combined with lifestyle support.
Who can who actually needs this?
So number one people who drink alcohol regularly anyone with a history of a poor diet people
were taking multiple medications those with high stress levels and anyone who wants to
support optimal liver function proactively.
People experiencing fatigue or sluggish digestion and always those interested in preventative
health.
Just remember your liver is working constantly to keep you healthy.
It's filtering toxins it's processing nutrients it's regulating hormones and it's handling
everything you consume and most of us never give it a sick sick and thought until something
goes wrong.
I think taking a proactive approach to the liver health is smart and you'll live a support
everything your energy digestion hormones and your recovery.
It is worth paying attention.
All right I think that is it for me.
Until next time stay curious stay consistent and definitely good luck out there.
