Liver Detoxification Helps Health

The liver's main job in the body is to detoxify chemicals from the environment that get into the bloodstream. It works 24 hours every day keeping toxins at bay. But who or what detoxifies the liver?

Silymarin was discovered years ago and found to help in case of jaundice, hepatitis and in humans, even cirrhosis. By mechanisms that are still uncertain, silymarin lowers the level of serum liver enzymes and improves overall liver function, presumably by removing some of the detoxification load. In a toxic environment like we live in today, where our pets are exposed daily to chemicals and pesticides and food colorants and more, a little liver break seems well deserved.
