| The liver is a large glandular organ,
whose functions include storage and filtration of blood,
secretion of bile, detoxification of various substances, and
conversion of sugars into glycogen, which it stores. The
liver is also responsible for processing many vitamins and
nutrients into a form that can be utilized by the body, and
processing many toxic chemicals for elimination.
Modern living involves daily exposure to
substances that are toxic to our bodies, which imposes a
heavy load on the liver. Therefore, a healthy liver is
critical to well-being. Certain lifestyle risks and medical
conditions make it all the more important to ensure that the
liver is being maintained at its functional best.
In Europe and Asia, herbal liver tonics
have been in common use for centuries. The effectiveness of
the herbs used has been validated during the past decades
through modern research and clinical studies. These herbs
generally contain antioxidants, cell membrane stabilizing
agents, bile secretion enhancing compounds, or nutrients
that prevent depletion of endogenous antioxidants such as
glutathione. Hepato-protection is beneficial not only for
the liver, but for the overall health and vitality of our
body.
The branched chain amino acids L-valine,
L-leucine, and L-isoleucine enhance protein synthesis in
liver cells and muscle cells.64,65*
Because they can be oxidized in the cell’s mitochondria, the
branched chain amino acids may also provide energy. They are
used by body builders to produce an anabolic effect66-69
and repair the micro tears that are a normal result of
exercise.70,71*
