Functions of the liver in the body
The liver is the largest metabolic organ in the body and performs a variety of vital tasks. It regulates the nutrient balance by processing proteins, fats and carbohydrates, storing them and releasing them again as required. It also plays a major role in detoxification by neutralizing harmful substances and excreting them via the bile or urine.
An important part of liver function is the production of bile, which is required for fat digestion. At the same time, the liver stores essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals and releases them to the body as required. However, an unhealthy diet, environmental toxins and stress can impair liver function.
In order to keep the liver healthy, a balanced diet and a targeted intake of nutrients are crucial. Nutrients such as choline, selenium and zinc help to support liver function and promote general well-being [1,3].
The importance of choline for liver health
Choline is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in human metabolism. It is involved in various biochemical processes, including the synthesis of phospholipids, methyl metabolism and neurotransmitter production. Although the body can synthesize choline itself to a limited extent, an adequate intake through food or supplementation is necessary to meet individual needs.
A choline deficiency can have a significant impact on liver health and lead to fatty liver disease, for example, as choline is responsible for the formation of lipoproteins, which enable the transport of fats from the liver.
In addition, there is increasing evidence that choline may play a role in the prevention of liver inflammation and fibrosis. New research approaches are investigating choline kinase inhibitors as potential therapeutic options for liver disease and cancer. These drugs aim to target choline metabolism and slow the progression of disease.
In general, choline is increasingly recognized as an important factor for liver health. [2]
Liver complex from artgerecht
The liver complex from artgerecht provides targeted support for liver health based on a careful selection of scientifically proven ingredients. The combination of proven plant extracts such as milk thistle, artichoke and lion's tooth promotes liver function, supports digestion and contributes to the natural detoxification of the body. The formulation is supplemented with choline, which contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function and healthy fat metabolism by supporting the breakdown of fats in the liver and preventing their accumulation.
In addition, the liver complex contains important B vitamins - vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid - which promote energy metabolism, reduce fatigue and support the formation of red blood cells and the function of the nervous system.
Thanks to its laboratory tested quality, each batch is independently tested to ensure the highest purity and safety. The product is also vegan, free from artificial additives and GMO-free, providing natural and effective support for liver health.
The carefully balanced ingredients work synergistically: milk thistle protects the liver cells with the antioxidant silymarin and promotes regeneration. Artichoke extract supports the production of bile acids, lowers cholesterol levels and helps with digestive problems. Lion's tooth root extract promotes the elimination of toxins and protects liver cells from oxidative stress.
Liver Complex is ideal for people who want to actively support their liver health, especially people with increased alcohol consumption, high-fat diets, people who exercise or people with digestive problems. The simple application - two capsules daily with water for breakfast - makes it an uncomplicated supplement for a healthy lifestyle. [1]
