Liver Health

The liver is a vital organ responsible for over 500 essential bodily functions, including detoxification of harmful substances, metabolism of nutrients, and production of bile, proteins, and cholesterol. NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver in people who drink little or no alcohol. Diet, the gut microbiome (gut-liver axis), bile acids, and "leaky gut" can influence the development of NAFLD.

Symptoms of liver disease:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
• Abdominal pain and swelling
• Nausea or vomiting
• Pale stools
• Easy bruising

Research suggests that nutraceutical supplementation can benefit patients by reducing inflammation and protecting the liver from further damage. Supplements should be tailored to the patient's needs, specific to the underlying cause of liver disease. Make an appointment with our dieticians to personalize your regime.
