Liv Total

Liv Total, from Vitobest®, combines the natural hepatoprotective properties of the dry extracts of milk thistle, dandelion, black radish, and desmodium.

Cellular metabolism, intense physical activity, and the abuse of tobacco or alcohol are among the factors that create organic residues capable of damaging or reducing the effectiveness of our most important purifying organ: the liver.

Milk thistle, dandelion, black radish, and desmodium are four plant species traditionally used to help our body in its effort to detoxify and protect it.

Liv Total, from Vitobest®, is the revolutionary formula that combines their properties:

• Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum): standardized to 80% in silymarin, the dry extract of this plant exerts antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activity¹. Some clinical studies also demonstrate its antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects².
• Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis): standardized to 2% in inulin, scientific literature recognizes its antidiabetic, antidiarrheal properties, promoting digestion, diuretic, as a general tonic and adjuvant in various liver alterations³.
• Black Radish (Raphanus sativus var. sativus): the glucosinolates present in black radish have demonstrated antioxidant properties, as well as the ability to decrease hepatic cholesterol levels, which prevents the formation of cholesterol gallstones⁴.
• Desmodium (Desmodium styracifolium): its active principles provide hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties⁵.

Vitobest® uses for this supplement vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) suitable for vegan diets and free of titanium dioxide.
