Then this is a different product from what you are used to. \u003cstrong\u003eLiv.52 DS PRO\u003c\/strong\u003e is the European successor to the classic Himalaya formula, containing five herbal extracts. You take two tablets a day, so a bottle of 60 tablets lasts exactly one month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat has changed in the PRO formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe old Liv.52 DS contained caprifoliifolia, chicory, Terminalia arjuna and a handful of other Ayurvedic herbs. In this version, only one of those remains: lemon balm. New additions are Phyllanthus amarus, green tea, dandelion and artichoke. This is not a cosmetic change but a genuine reformulation, probably because these five herbs have an established status in Europe. Artichoke and dandelion, for example, are both included in the European herbal monographs. Good to know: much of the information you find online about the brand name refers to the old formulation. So judge this based on what is currently in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the five herbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhyllanthus amarus is by far the most heavily represented: 275mg of herb per daily dose, processed together with lemon balm and green tea into 93.5mg of aqueous extract. The herb comes from Ayurveda and naturally provides lignans and tannins. Dandelion and artichoke have a completely different profile: they are bitter herbs, named after the bitter substances naturally found in them. Artichoke can contribute to the flow of digestive juices and to intestinal comfort*. Dandelion can contribute to digestion*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy dandelion and artichoke almost always appear together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDandelion, artichoke and lemon balm are all mentioned in herbal tradition for digestion, and therefore often appear together in the same formula. Phyllanthus amarus and green tea complement this trio. That is the idea behind a combination of five instead of a single extract. Lemon balm can contribute to digestive comfort*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLiv.52, Liv.52 DS and Liv.52 DS PRO side by side\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe regular Liv.52 comes in bottles of 100 tablets and is more lightly dosed. DS stands for double strength: stronger per tablet, so you take less of it. PRO is the latest step and therefore also has a different herbal list. Anyone who places the boxes side by side will see it immediately: net 26.7 grams, 60 tablets, and on the side an ingredients list that you will not find in the old version. If you are ordering Liv.52 DS PRO because an acquaintance recommended the old version to you, then take a good look at the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHimalaya makes this product in Bengaluru and imports it into the EU via Warsaw. It is a tablet, not a capsule, and you take two per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Health claim awaiting European approval.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Himalaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54300832334162,"sku":"Himalaya-030","price":11.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/01_liv52dspro_doos_pot.jpg?v=1787046162","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/liv-52-ds-pro","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
