Terranova Dandelion, Artichoke and Cysteine Complex

Your liver and the festive season

One of the largest and most important organs of the body. It acts like a giant filter to remove waste and toxins from the blood. The liver also produces bile for fat digestion and toxin neutralisation, metabolises alcohol, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, supports the immune system and stores vitamins. It is therefore important to keep the liver functioning and healthy especially during this time of year where alcohol consumption is higher and foods are richer and eaten in large quantities. Terranova Nutrition has developed a formula which can supports you during this time.

Terranova Nutrition is a multi-award winning supplement company with a range of more than 60 different nutritional and botanical products. Formulated and manufactured in Britain, Terranova is one of only a few large-scale supplement companies in the industry that does not use fillers, binders and other manufacturing additives in its products, and one of even fewer such companies that is 100% suitable for vegans. The Dandelion, Artichoke and Cysteine complex is no exception

This complex contains some of the following essential ingredients:

Dandelion Root:

This common weed has many health benefits, including aiding digestion and improving liver function. In this formula, dandelion would be most beneficial for increasing bile flow for fat metabolism making it perfect for the festive season when meals are often high in fats.

Artichoke Leaf:

The curcuminoids in turmeric root have been heavily researched for their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Antioxidants help with the breakdown of free radicals that are especially damaging to the body. There is also evidence that turmeric may enhance the activity of enzymes that are crucial to liver health and production of bile.

Long used in Traditional Chinese medicine for its health benefits, modern Chinese research has found that this not only helps with liver function , but that it also helps with protection of the liver cells from free radical damage.
