Milk thistle also naturally works to boost glutathione, your body\u2019s master <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/antioxidants-important-for-aging\/\">antioxidant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for those with liver damage from heavy drinking, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/fatty-liver-disease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fatty liver<\/a>, or infections such as Hep C, milk thistle has been shown in clinical studies to instigate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK11896\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">liver regeneration<\/a>, which is, of course, an incredible benefit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-metabolizes-toxins-better\">Metabolizes Toxins Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because milk thistle is helping your liver clear and metabolize toxins better, it also helps unburden the liver from this very important job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This then allows the liver to work more efficiently in other ways, such as helping you with digestion by means of <a href=\"https:\/\/chiro.org\/nutrition\/FULL\/Milk_Thistle_Liver_Protective_Properties.shtml#:~:text=Milk%20thistle%20extract%20should%20help,herb%20is%20extremely%20well%20tolerated.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bile production<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the liver produces bile, which helps you break down fat by releasing it via the gallbladder (the liver\u2019s next door organ neighbor, which acts as the \u2018holding tank\u2019 for the bile the liver produces).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The liver must also metabolize fat and blood sugar, and milk thistle has also improved <a aria-label=\"blood glucose (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/hypoglycemia-vs-hyperglycemia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blood glucose<\/a> and lipid levels in diabetics, according to research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-in-doubt-support-your-liver\">When In Doubt, Support Your Liver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to a deluge of chemical exposure in most individuals\u2019 lives, routine detoxification support has never been more important to help out our beleaguered liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By incorporating regular exercise, a healthy diet, and great supplemental supports, you can be assured your liver will be in better shape than most!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I start talking about toxicity issues to patients and students alike, many are shocked at just how much we poison we are truly getting exposed to daily.
