How to Rejuvenate Your Liver -
3 Informative Facts

1. SAM-e

A normal healthy liver regularly regenerates itself, producing new cells by replacing old worn out ones. When liver disease occurs parts of the liver become hard and inactive,
Studies have shown that patients with liver disease have abnormally low levels of SAM-e. When adding SAM-e via supplementing, studies show it normalizes over-all liver functions. It acts as the precursor compound for cysteine and taurine, and a tripeptide called glutathione, which is an important detoxifier and free radical scavenger in the body.
(Glutathione also inhibits the inflammatory response allowing other benefits such as an effective aid in treating osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and joint pain. It has also been successfully used as an antidepressant and migraine reliever.)
Studies have shown that patients with cirrhosis of the liver who incorporate supplemental SAM-e to their daily intake normalize their overall liver function. There are many reliable sources for purchasing SAM-e. Follow packaging instructions and consult your health care professional for further details.

2. Probiotics

The friendly bacteria our bodies rely on for metabolizing foods, absorbing nutrients, and preventing colonization of harmful bacteria are know as probiotics. Bifidobacteria are a natural part of the bacterial flora in the human body concentrated in the lower small intestine and large intestine, and act as guards, preventing harmful microbes from invading the small intestine where most digestion and nutrient absorption takes place.
Secretions of harmful microbes can strain the liver, but a healthy population of bifidobacteria act to suppress harmful microbes. The liver has many chemical functions in the body including decomposing and detoxifying poisonous substances absorbed from the intestine hence lightening the toxin load. Regular ingestion of probiotics assist the functions of the liver and can ward off many diseases by strengthening the immune system, thus combating the effects of allergies, excessive alcohol consumption, stress and toxic substances. It is wise to consult your health care professional such as a holistic nutritionist for the best way to incorporate probiotics into your particular body type and its needs.

3. Used In Combination

The supplementing of Sam-e along with probiotics to aid in proper absorption creates a combination that can produce optimal conditions for liver health. Many positive side effects can also occur. Perhaps other improvements emerge that you may or may not immediately recognize, perhaps soon you’ll realize your moods are lighter, your joints are loser. Oh and where’s that gut irritation that bothers you from certain foods you eat? Gone??
