Recharge Liver Detox

Blackmores Recharge Liver Detox Plus Superfoods contains ingredients that may help support detoxification by the liver and digestive system.

About detoxification:

A toxin is a substance that can have harmful effects on the body by altering the functioning or structure of a living cell. The body processes toxins in two main ways. Firstly they are converted into substances that are either inert or more readily excreted. This process is called neutralisation and occurs via complex enzymatic processes in the liver called phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification.

After neutralisation, a substance can be eliminated from the body. This occurs primarily in the faeces via the liver and intestines and urine via the kidneys. The liver is by far the most important organ of detoxification. Every day, the liver produces and secretes nearly 1 litre of bile that helps to bind fat-soluble toxins for removal from the body.

If these detoxification pathways are overwhelmed, inhibited or fail, toxins may accumulate in body tissues, most frequently in fat tissue.
