New Angle for Tackling Liver Fibrosis

No approved medical treatment to prevent liver fibrosis exists yet; however, new research from UCLA may change that.

To learn about liver fibrosis, the liver cell most responsible for fibrosis and the research on that cell that could eventually lead to an anti-fibrotic therapy – click here.

What You Can Do: Until a pharmaceutical compound utilizing this research is created, tested and approved, two non-drug strategies for preventing fibrosis include avoiding alcohol and taking milk thistle to strengthen existing liver cells. To maximize liver protective potential, consider supplementing with UltraThistleâ„¢ - a supplement containing the most absorbable form of milk thistle available today.

Saffron Valued for Supporting Liver Health

In addition to its use as a culinary spice, research demonstrates that saffron may be a valuable tool for maintaining liver health.

To learn about saffron and the two studies that show how it benefits the liver by lowering liver enzyme levels and preventing oxidative damage – click here.

What You Can Do: Besides cooking with this notoriously expensive spice, supplementing with alpha lipoic acid is a smart way to lower enzyme levels and prevent oxidation in the liver. If protecting your liver with this potent supplement, make sure to choose Alpha R-Lipoic Acid - the most effective form of this universal antioxidant.

As always, it’s a good idea to discuss any new health care regimen with your chosen doctor.
