BYHEALTH’s Milk Thistle may be just the thing for those alcohol-soaked summer evenings.
As we head into the summer social season and you are busy making plans for cocktails, coffees and other catch-ups, stop and take a moment to think about the key organ in your body that will be working hardest to filter it all.
You don’t want a moment on the lips sipping Aperol Spritz, Whiskey Sour or Negroni, to end up in a lifetime of liver health issues. The good news is, BYHEALTH, one of the world’s top global manufacturers of vitamins and supplements, has an evidence-based, natural medicine that may assist in supporting liver health.
Beware the bar snacks!
Nothing goes down better with those fancy cocktails than a tasty bar snack – usually consisting of something fried. Think deep fried buffalo wings drenched in a spicy jalapeno-chipotle sauce. However, the liver – the largest organ in our bodies – is forever on clean-up duty behind the scenes mopping up the aftermath of excessively fatty or salty foods.
Among the 500-plus functions it performs everyday, like a stealthy biological waste-management system, the liver cleans up toxins and produces bile, which breaks down and carries away fats and waste during the digestion process. Excessive alcohol consumption, as well as high fats and salt consumption can reduce the liver’s ability to adequately carry out this function over time.
Sobering prognosis on liver health
Liver challenges are an increasing health battle for Australians. A new Victorian study published in the Medical Journal of Australia this year reveals that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) – the most common liver problem globally – among adults in regional Victoria is high, is strongly associated with metabolic risk factors such as obesity and high blood pressure, and is a gauge of more frequent incidence of some serious liver conditions.
The findings point to significant public health implications for Australia in the coming decade.
Liver help may be at hand!
Clinicians are increasingly embracing the clinical application of an ancient evidence-based herbal remedy, known as milk thistle (Silybum marianum) to aid in some common liver ailments. Milk Thistle is derived from the milk thistle plant which has been shown in scientific studies to support the improvement of liver function and health. It is rich in antioxidants which have the potential to support liver health which may be compromised by free radicals, and are produced when the liver metabolises toxic substances.
One of the leading global producers of evidence-based vitamin and mineral supplements, including Milk Thistle, BYHEALTH, has cemented itself as a trailblazer in the complementary medicine landscape. BYHEALTH’s new milk thistle supplement has been enhanced with Turmeric, Inosotol and alpha lipoic acid – active ingredients that may offer liver support.
Consumers also have the added confidence in the high-grade quality of BYHEALTH’s raw materials, with its unique transparency and traceability of its raw ingredients, throughout their supply chain.
BYHEALTH has also pioneered the world’s first Transparent Factory and Nutrition Exploratorium, where customers are invited to walk through and view the entire manufacturing process from start to finish.
In preparation for this holiday season, why not help your liver survive the onslaught, without missing out on the benefits of social connection. In conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, BYHEALTH’s milk thistle may be the key to taking care of one of your most important organs.
