Liver Essentials by German Elite Nutrition
Liver Essentials by German Elite Nutrition is a complex of eleven plant extracts and nutrients in a vegan capsule. The formula combines well-known botanical extracts such as milk thistle and artichoke with choline, N-acetyl-L-cysteine and indol-3-carbinol. Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function. One bottle contains 180 capsules, enough for 30 days at six capsules per day.
Choline
The nutrient with an authorized health claim in this product is choline. Each daily serving of six capsules provides 500 mg of choline bitartrate, which amounts to approximately 205 mg of choline. 82.5 mg of choline per day is required for the claim, so this product exceeds that amount. Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function. In addition, choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal lipid metabolism. Choline is a water-soluble, vitamin-like substance that your body partially produces itself and also obtains from food, such as eggs, liver and legumes. In Liver Essentials, choline is included in a fixed dosage per daily serving, combined with the plant extracts.
Eleven ingredients in one formula
In addition to choline, Liver Essentials contains a range of plant extracts, each standardized to a characteristic component. This includes milk thistle extract with 80 percent silymarin and artichoke extract with cynarin. You will also find schisandra extract with schisandrin, dandelion root extract, desmodium with vitexin, ginger with gingerol and sophora japonica with rutin. On the amino acid side, it contains N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a stable form of the amino acid cysteine, as well as indol-3-carbinol, a substance that occurs naturally in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower, but only in much smaller quantities than the 150 mg included in one daily serving here. Because the extracts are standardized to a fixed percentage of the characteristic component, the composition remains consistent between batches.
Black pepper extract
A small part of the formula is black pepper extract with 95 percent piperine, the pungent substance found in pepper. It is included in a small amount: 10 mg per daily serving. The rest of the formula is based around choline as the nutrient with an authorized claim, supplemented with the herbal extracts.
Vegan capsules and daily use
The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material. This makes Liver Essentials suitable for vegans. No artificial colors or unnecessary fillers have been added; the capsule is filled with the active matrix itself. The daily serving is six capsules, to be taken with sufficient water, spread throughout the day or all at once. With 180 capsules per bottle, one package lasts exactly one month. Six capsules may sound like a lot, but that is because the formula combines eleven ingredients in a total daily dosage of 4560 mg. Those who prefer to take fewer capsules at a time can divide the six capsules into two or three doses; the total daily dosage remains the same.
In short, Liver Essentials is a comprehensive complex centered around choline, supplemented with eleven plant-based and amino acid components in standardized form. Vegan, 180 capsules per bottle, and with a clear dosage per daily serving.
