Thorne Liver Cleanse

Fat digestion depends on bile, but bile also carries away whatever your liver has already processed, and sluggish flow can back up that whole system. Thorne's Liver Cleanse is built to keep that flow moving, combining berberine, milk thistle, burdock, and chicory in one capsule to support both the liver's detoxification enzymes and the bile output that carries the results out.

Supports bile production and flow – Burdock and chicory are traditionally used botanicals studied for their effect on promoting healthy bile output, the pathway your liver relies on to excrete what it's processed.

Covers both phases of liver detoxification – Milk thistle supports the liver's antioxidant defenses, while berberine and the other botanicals support the enzymatic processes involved in both stages of detoxification.

A concentrated, capsule-based format – Rather than a powder or shake, this delivers a specific four-botanical blend in a simple capsule you can adjust gradually.

Your liver processes toxins in two stages. The first converts fat-soluble compounds into intermediate substances, and the second attaches those intermediates to compounds like glutathione so they become water-soluble enough to excrete in bile. Milk thistle's antioxidant constituents support liver cell protection through this process, while berberine, burdock, and chicory are traditionally associated with supporting healthy bile flow, the mechanism that actually carries processed waste out of the liver and into the intestines for elimination.

How to Use Thorne Liver Cleanse

Dose: Start with one capsule in the evening, and increase gradually up to one capsule one to three times daily if needed, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

This product works by increasing bile flow, and if you're constipated, the substances released into your bile can get reabsorbed instead of eliminated. Make sure you're having at least one healthy bowel movement daily before starting, and consider pairing this with a fiber source to support elimination.

Berberine can lower blood sugar, so use caution and talk to your healthcare provider if you're on any blood sugar medication, since combining them could increase the risk of your levels dropping too low. If pregnant or nursing, do not use this product.
