Liver Cellular Rejuvenation Support Formula
in as few as 30-90 days
.
This is an extremely effective product for detoxifying the liver, normalizing liver metabolism, and preventing further liver damage.
The accumulation of chemicals in our body from the water that we drink and bathe in, the air that we breathe, and the food that we eat have been shown to weaken the immune system plus contribute to the degenerative effects of the body.
Liver Cellular Rejuvenation Support Formula Ingredient Rationale
A proprietary blend of artichoke (Cynara Floridanum) and sarsaparilla (Smilax Aristolochiaefolia) that contains the following naturally occurring bioflavonoids and polyphenols: silymarin, quercetin, catechin, hesperidin, rutin, cynarin and chlorogenic acid. Bioflavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments (colors) that have anti-inflammatory antihistaminic and anti-viral properties. Health professionals formulated The Liver Cellular Rejuvenation Support Formula specifically for detoxifying the liver and gall bladder and supporting each of their functions along with having the ability to rejuvenate the liver even under stress.

What Does The Liver Do?
The liver is an organ that acts as a complex 'factory', responsible for the processing of carbohydrates (sugars), fats, proteins, and the synthesis (formation) of bile, glycogen, and serum proteins. The liver performs over 500 jobs, all necessary for life and health. The liver also acts as the primary organ of detoxification, protecting us from dietary, environmental and metabolic chemicals and toxins.
What Is A Toxic Or Sluggish Liver?
The symptoms of a toxic or 'sluggish', overworked liver are often diffuse and nonspecific and can involve nearly every organ or system in the body. Accumulated toxins circulating through the body will poison a person to a relative degree, depending on the amount and time component of the exposure and the liver's functional capability to metabolize the toxins.
What Are The Symptoms Of A Toxic Or Sluggish Liver?
Symptoms include, but are not limited to fatigue, low energy, overweight, poor digestion, bad breath, poor skin tone, various skin conditions.
Can A Toxic Or Sluggish Liver Be Reversed?
Yes. A unique feature of the liver is its ability to heal itself and regenerate cells, especially when supported by specific nutritional supplementation designed to detoxify the liver and support its various functions.
What Is Liver Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis involves inflammation and degeneration of the liver, mainly caused by the chronic use of substances such as tobacco, alcohol and/or drugs, or long-term exposure to human-made chemicals (herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, paints, cleaning products, solvents, petroleum products, etc.).
Can Nutrition Help A Toxic Or Sluggish Liver?
Yes. In fact, I have recently been working with a colleague of mine, Dr. Chuck Cochran, who has been researching the liver, its functions, and specific nutritional support intended to support liver and gall bladder function (they work together). After over twenty years, Dr. Cochran and his research team perfected a formula, Liver Support System, which assists the body in detoxifying and regenerating the liver (see the article: Reversing Liver Damage). The formula consists of a special hybrid artichoke and the herb sarsaparilla. It sounds like a simple formula, however the formulation process is quite complex.
Why Should a Person 'Detoxify' Their Body?
For many natural doctors and therapists, it is a commonly held belief that all Americans are having serious problems with at least three of the five organs of elimination and detoxification. The five organs of elimination and detoxification are the colon (large intestine), kidneys, liver, lungs and skin.
Traditional medical doctors rarely receive any education related to nutritional support for the elimination and detoxification processes in the body. When was the last time you heard of a medical doctor putting a patient on a cellular, liver, or colon cleansed? Common sense and logic dictate that if a living organism ingests, inhales, or absorbs more toxins, chemicals, and disease causing foods than their elimination and detoxification systems can handle, there will be congestion and a loss of the expression of vibrant health, relative to the amount of toxic buildup.
Various forms of toxic buildup in the body are contributing factors to many disease states, or limit the ability of the body to function properly. Detoxification is vitally important for people to be able to get well in many acute and chronic conditions. Many people who think they are 'healthy' have no idea how sick they are, or better stated, how 'well' they could be. Elimination of toxins from the body is one of the keys to experiencing vibrant health.
When the body is healthy and vibrant, the organs of elimination handle the removal of toxins and unwanted substances in the body. When these systems begin to break down or become overloaded due to congestion of these organs and their systems, a person's general quality of health will begin to diminish.
How Does the Body Become Toxic?
One of the main steps in achieving vibrant health is to remove congestion anywhere and everywhere from the body. The body's 'toxic waste elimination organs', found in every cell, the intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys, can become overburdened by exposure to man-made chemicals and heavy metals in our environment or in the foods we eat, or from the over-consumption of cooked, frozen, canned, or processed foods, alcohol, coffee, sugar (candy), fatty foods, drugs (prescription or recreational), and tobacco.
Another main source of toxins are those made in the body, such as excess mucous production in response to eating mainly cooked and refined foods (dead food), and auto-toxification from chemicals produced in the intestines from fermentation and incomplete digestion and assimilation of foods. Common symptoms associated with toxins accumulating in the colon and tissues of the body include general aches and pains, chronic tiredness, headaches, and skin 'reactions'.
What is Liver Detoxification?
The liver is an organ that acts as a complex 'factory', responsible for the processing of carbohydrates (sugars), fats, proteins, and the synthesis (formation) of bile, glycogen, and serum proteins. The liver also acts as the primary organ of detoxification, protecting us from environmental and metabolic toxins.
The most common substances causing liver toxicity include many prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications, recreational drugs, alcohol, tobacco, heavy metals, many human-made chemicals, food additives, chlorine and chlorine based products, herbicides, pesticides, petroleum products, solvents and commercial cleaning products, formaldehyde, combustion by-products, household chemicals, fluorocarbons, glues and adhesives, fluoride & chlorine and other chemicals in tap water, and chemicals found in common office supplies and common personal care products.
A unique feature of the liver is its ability to heal itself and regenerate cells, especially when supported by nutritional supplementation and other effective therapeutic methods.

The Vital Liver
Researchers now estimate that the liver performs nearly 400 different jobs. It is the body's most important organ, functioning as a living filter to cleanse the system of toxins, metabolize proteins, control hormonal balance, and produce immune-boosting factors. Many of these functions are essential to your overall health, for example, the liver's synthesis of fibrinogen and other blood-clotting factors to protect you when you are injured. However, other liver functions have a direct bearing on your weight loss efforts, and these are the focus of the Fat Flush Plan.
A Fat-Burning Machine. Each day your liver produces about a quart of a yellowish green liquid called bile that emulsifies and absorbs fats in the small intestine. Bile contains water, bile acids and pigments, cholesterol, bilirubin, lipids, lecithin, potassium, sodium, and chloride. The liquid is stored near the liver in the gallbladder, from where it is transported to the intestine as needed during digestion.
Bile is the real key to the liver's ability to digest and assimilate fats. It can be hampered from doing its job because of a lack of bile nutrients, congestion, or even clogged bile ducts, which hamper bile flow and result in less bile production. If there is not enough bile produced, fat cannot be emulsified.
If you have a roll of fat at your waistline, you may have what is commonly called a "fatty liver". Your liver has stopped processing fat and begun storing it, for reasons I'll explain in a moment. Only when you bring your liver back to full function will you lose this fat.
An Efficient Metabolizer. The liver metabolizes not only fats but also carbohydrates and proteins for use in your body. The organ has a triple role in carbohydrate metabolism. First, it converts glucose, fructose, and galactose in glycogen, which it stores. Second, when your blood sugar level drops and no new carbohydrates are available, the liver converts stored glycogen into glucose and releases it into your bloodstream. Third, if your diet is regularly low in carbohydrates, the liver will convert fat or protein into glucose to maintain your blood sugar levels.
The liver converts amino acids from food into various proteins that may have a direct or indirect impact on your weight. Many proteins, for example, transport hormones through the bloodstream; as you've read, hormone balances are crucial to avoid water retention, bloating, and cravings, as well as other health problems. Proteins also help transport wastes, such as damaged cholesterol and used estrogen and insulin, to the liver for detoxification and elimination through the kidneys.
A Potent Detoxifier. Perhaps the liver's most important function, and the one that puts it at greatest risk for damage, is to detoxify the myriad toxins that assault our bodies daily. A toxin is any substance that irritates or creates harmful effects in the body. Some toxins, called endotoxins, are the natural by-products of body processes. For example, during protein metabolism, ammonia is formed, which the liver breaks down to urea to be excreted through the kidneys. Other toxins you consume by choice, such as alcohol, caffeine, and prescription drugs (more about these later). Still others are the thousands of toxic chemicals we breathe, consume, or touch in our environment: pesticides, car exhaust, secondhand smoke, chemical food additives, and indoor pollutants from paint, carpets and cleaners, among others. Under ordinary circumstances, your body handles toxins by (1) neutralizing them, as antioxidants neutralize free radicals, (2) transforming them, as fat-soluble chemicals are transformed to water-soluble ones, and (3) eliminating them through urine, feces, sweat, mucus, and breath. Working with your lungs, skin, kidneys, and intestines, a healthy liver detoxifies many harmful substances and eliminates them without contaminating the bloodstream.
The detoxification process has two phases that should work in close synchronization. Phase 1 uses a group of enzymes to break apart the chemical bonds holding the toxins together. Known as hydroxylation, phase 1 makes some toxins more water soluble and temporarily more chemically active.
Phase 2, known as conjugation, attaches other enzymes to the chemically altered toxins, or intermediates. These enzymes complete the conversion of the intermediates, producing substances that are nontoxic, water-soluble, and easily excreted.
Extreme Health's Liver Support Formula targets both phase I & II .
When the Liver is Overloaded. Your liver is a workhorse that can even regenerate its own damaged cells. However, it is not invincible. When it lacks essential nutrients or when it is overwhelmed by toxins, it no longer performs as it should. Hormone imbalances may develop. Fat may accumulate in the liver and then just under the skin or in other organs. Toxins build up and get into your bloodstream. Among the signs of "toxic liver" are:
When your liver is sluggish, every organ in your body is affected, and your weight loss efforts are blocked. Blood vessels enlarge, and blood flow becomes restricted. A toxic liver is unable to break down the adrenal hormone aldosterone, which accumulates to retain sodium (and water) and suppress potassium. This can raise your blood pressure. The liver fails to detoxify the components of estrogen (estrone and estradiol) for excretion, so symptoms of estrogen dominance arise. Unable to carry out its activities to control glucose, a toxic liver can lead to hypoglycemia, which can produce sugar cravings, weight gain, and Candida overgrowth. Fluid accumulates, and you may develop one or more autoimmune diseases such as lupus or arthritis. A liver overloaded with pollutants and toxins cannot efficiently burn body fat, and thus will sabotage your weight loss efforts
