Liver health is essential for overall well-being, as the liver plays a crucial role in detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient storage. Due to unhealthy diet and lifestyle choices, fatty liver, a condition marked by the buildup of fat in liver cells, is becoming increasingly common. Fortunately, several natural supplements have shown promise in supporting liver health and addressing fatty liver disease. This blog will explore the scientifically backed benefits of Altilix, Siliphos, dandelion, and Sytrinol.
Altilix: Artichoke Leaf Extract
Altilix is a proprietary extract derived from artichoke leaves. It is known for its liver-protective properties. Studies have shown it can help reduce liver fat accumulation and improve liver function. One study found that artichoke leaf extract significantly decreased liver enzymes and improved liver histology in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Altilix supplementation also reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver.
Dandelion: A Natural Detoxifier
Dandelion, a common herb, has long been recognized for its liver-detoxifying benefits. Research indicates that dandelion extract can enhance bile production and aid in liver detoxification processes. One study found that dandelion root extract improved liver function and decreased liver damage in animal models. Anotherstudy demonstrated that dandelion supplementation significantly lowered liver enzymes and enhanced liver histology in patients with liver health issues.
Siliphos: Enhanced Bioavailability of Silybin
Siliphos is a patented formulation that combines silybin, the active component of milk thistle, with phospholipids to enhance its bioavailability. Silybin has long been recognized for its hepatoprotective effects. Research indicates that Siliphos can effectively reduce liver fat and improve liver enzyme levels in individuals with NAFL. A clinical trial also showed that Siliphos supplementation improved liver function in those with chronic liver health issues.
Sytrinol: A Powerful Antioxidant
Sytrinol is a patented blend of citrus flavonoids and palm tocotrienols, recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research indicates that Sytrinol can help reduce liver fat and enhance liver function by decreasing oxidative stress. Sytrinol inhibits the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase[i], which plays an essential role in cholesterol production in the liver. One of Sytrinol’s most attractive features is its ability to improve lipid profiles without requiring drastic dietary changes. This impact also provides an added benefit to overall liver health.[ii]
Incorporating natural supplements such as Altilix, Siliphos, dandelion, and Sytrinol into your routine can significantly support liver health and help fight fatty liver disease. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
