This is the only product that helped my fatty liver. I recently learned that I am lactose intolerant, only after a fatty liver diagnosis. After 1 bottle of detox, I saw a real difference. My fat melted lost 5 pounds , reduced swelling all over my body, decongested, hair and nail growth, better sleep.

My physician explained that it would take years of regular physical exercise at least 4 times a week and healthy eating fat and lactose free eating to achieve those results naturally. This product is gold, 5 stars! Appears to be working. Translate review to English. Returned this item as it had contradictory information on the the label opposed to the actual site.

I had reached out to the company just after ordering this product and they did not respond so I attempted to cancel this order within a few hours of ordering but was unable to do so. First, I would like to say that being fat or having a fatty liver does not imply you have cholestérol.

Which is my case. And my fatty liver comes from eating too much, not from alcohol. Certain natural products are dangerous with cholesterol medication.

So considering this, I adore this product. I would recommend it to anyone who can take it. I ordered this product and found out that this product increases ur heart rate i went to emergency i had to make sick call for two days on my work!

As soon as I consumed it, i felt dizziness and fainted. My roomate woke me up and I realized my heartbeat was soo fast i went to emergency room and they did my ECG scan i showed them the product and they recommended that never ever use this product because it is not certified and safe to use.

I was on risk of heart attack for more than 8 hours i was kept under observation by the doctors. What f you have any liver issues this can be helpful. One person found this helpful. See more reviews. Top reviews from other countries. I am writing to tell everyone about my results.

I truly do believe this Milk Thistle Extract product has helped me out tremendously. It has been about a month and a half since I been taking 2 pills every morning.

Went to doctors yesterday and my Liver Enzymes has come back to normal, even below normal. I did cut back on drinking also , but I haven't stopped. I don't know if you know what the following medical terms mean but here are my STATS.

I will Continue to take your Milk Thistle every day from now own, well normally I don't take the pills on the weekend, just during the week cause It's part of my work routine. My last two AST test were and Today its 30 Yay My last two ALT test were 84 and Today its 30 Yah.

not sure if I am experiencing any positive effects but I feel good taking this because I want to take care of my liver and skin. On second thought, may be I have been having less or near none yeast infection related itching since I started the milk thistle.

I started out with a different company or brand because this brand natural goal which I wanted to get was out at the time. So I started out with milk thistle from Green Packs, which I think is good. both brands seem to have equal mgs of turmeric and silybum. I took the Green packs brand for 45 days and saw this Natural Goal brand available so switched to see if this works better or not.

I don't see much difference. both pills color are same yellow in capsule form. I take 2 caps twice a day am and PM.

After using the Green Packs brand for 3 weeks, I felt my skin looked tat-bit clearer but I have long ways to go.

I was impressed by the Natural goal customer follow-up email explaining how to take it etc. anyway, it's a kind of supplement that one can't see much in a short amount of time, but to hope that it's working. I have been struggling with a gluten allergy for the last few years and in the past year, my symptoms became extreme.

The most significant symptom for me is joint and muscle pain 24 hours after consumption. I wanted to start taking Milk Thistle in order to cleanse my liver and give myself a chance to recover from a negative reaction to medication I had been on.

As a bonus, I saw that it also contained turmeric which has been widely reported to naturally fight inflammation. Within a couple of weeks, I started noticing that my gluten sensitivity has greatly diminished.

The pain symptoms are non-existent and I don't know any other way to say it, I just FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. But I intend to incorporate this supplement into my daily routine for years to come.

The most common forms are hepatitis A, B and C. Hepatitis A. How can it be transmitted sexually? Hepatitis A is not usually transmitted through sexual activity. How can I protect myself and my partner?

Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is significantly more infectious than AIDS and carries a high risk of sexual transmission. Exposure to blood, semen, vaginal discharge or other bodily fluids during sex can put you at risk of contracting hepatitis B. Hepatitis B vaccines are available and are given in three doses over a period of six months.

Hepatitis C. The risk of contracting hepatitis C through sex is very low. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C so the best approach is to adopt safer sex practices and take precautions to avoid any accidental contact with blood.

Chemicals in the Home. Not only does your liver metabolize what goes in your body, but it also metabolizes what goes on your body. This includes inhaling, ingesting, or simply coming into physical contact with chemical cleaning agents. Today, it is the key ingredient of many alternative cleaning recipes.

Your liver cares about everything you eat and drink, every single day. Too much sugar and saturated fat in your diet can have a similar effect as too much alcohol — fat build-up in the liver. When it is full of fat, the liver cannot perform all of its functions, and it can become progressively more damaged to the point of developing cirrhosis and even cancer.

If you want a healthy liver, the best strategy is to make healthier choices on a daily basis. This is exciting news for Canadians. Emerging as important concepts within the new food Guidelines are a renewed focus on plant-based foods, lower intakes of processed foods that contain higher levels of sugar, a background on saturated fat intake, and a less direct emphasis on dairy products.

What does this mean for Canadians living with liver disease? Click here to read more. What is sodium? Sodium is a mineral that is required for maintaining blood pressure and a normal fluid balance in the body and transmitting nerve impulses. Is sodium the same as salt?

Table salt sodium chloride is the most common form of sodium. Others include sodium bicarbonate baking soda , sodium benzoate preservative , sodium cyclamate sweetener and sodium nitrate preservative.

How much sodium is in table salt? Table salt is about 40 per cent sodium. One teaspoon of salt contains approximately milligrams mg of sodium. Most Canadians consume far more sodium than is needed. The recommended amount per day is between mg considered adequate intake and mg upper amount for people 9 years of age.

For people over 50 years of age, an adequate intake drops to mg per day until 70 and then mg over 70 years of age. However, the average daily intake in the Canadian diet is about mg of sodium, although many Canadians eat well in excess of mg per day.

Can I get too much sodium? The higher your sodium intake, the greater risk you are at for high blood pressure and stroke. If high blood pressure is already present, a high sodium intake may make it worse. High blood pressure is a health risk associated with heart and kidney disease.

It is a good idea to have your blood pressure checked regularly by a health care provider. Often an individual can be unaware of having high blood pressure. How does sodium relate to my liver disease? As the function of the liver deteriorates, fewer proteins such as albumin are produced, resulting in an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity known as ascites and in the legs and feet, known as edema.

Both conditions result from an abnormal accumulation of sodium associated with portal hypertension and liver disease.

Patients with ascites should restrict their sodium intake to no more than mg per day. Do I have to avoid all salty foods? Not necessarily all the time. However, if you want to lower your sodium intake to meet current recommendations, you should avoid eating salty foods on a daily basis.

Your physician will advise you as to whether or not you need to restrict your sodium intake. Learning to read food labels to check the sodium level per serving will help you to compare foods for sodium content and to make food choices with lower sodium content. Always taste before salting! This usually means you will use less salt.

Try this test. Place wax paper or foil over a plate and pretend you are salting a meal. Measure the salt. One teaspoon contains about mg of sodium.

Add less salt when you prepare and cook food! Try adding less salt to your food for example, when cooking vegetables, pasta, soups and stews. Reduce the salt in recipes! Your taste for salt is a learned taste that can be unlearned.

Gradually reduce the salt in recipes so your taste for salt can adjust more easily. The salt in most recipes can be halved with no effect on the product. Experiment with other flavourings! Lemon and vinegar are natural flavour enhancers that are low in sodium. Plan ahead to reduce your reliance on high sodium convenience foods!

The same food made from scratch has less sodium added and tends to be less expensive. Be aware of the sodium content of the food you eat!

Read the list of ingredients on labels for other sodium-containing compounds in addition to salt such as: monosodium glutamate MSG , sodium benzoate, sodium nitrate and sodium bicarbonate. Should pregnant women cut down on salt?

Sodium used to be restricted in pregnancy because it was thought this would help reduce fluid retention. However, it is now known that a certain amount of fluid retention is part of having a normal pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Therefore sodium restriction is NOT recommended in pregnancy. If you think you use a lot of salt, it would be a good idea to discuss this with your physician. Choose your food wisely The following table shows some interesting differences in the sodium content of some foods.

Try to get in the habit of considering the sodium content of the meal as a whole. Ask yourself if there is a lower-sodium alternative. For example, if you use canned instead of fresh tomatoes in a recipe, you could add less salt than called for by the recipe.

Fresh or frozen corn would be a lower-sodium alternative to canned or creamed corn and would thus be a better accompaniment to high-sodium meat such as ham. Does the sodium content of the water supply vary? The sodium content of the water supply varies from one area to another.

Some bottled water has sodium compounds added as well. Check the ingredients on the bottle. However, the level of sodium may not be listed. What about softened water? Hard water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium.

A water softener replaces these minerals with sodium. Softened water, therefore, contains more sodium. If you have a softened water supply in your home, the taps from which you take your drinking water should not be hooked up to the softener. Some quick tips to help reduce the sodium in your diet:.

In some cases, a person may have no symptoms at all yet his or her liver may already have suffered significant damage.

The good news is that many liver diseases can be prevented, managed or in some cases even cured, but early identification is critical so it is important that you ask your doctor for a liver test. Liver tests are blood tests used to help determine the health of your liver and your bile ducts.

Liver tests are used to guide your healthcare provider, along with your history and physical examination, in the diagnosis and management of your liver disease. These tests measure the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood, how well the liver is performing its functions, or measure enzymes that liver cells release in response to damage or disease.

Your healthcare provider will be able explain your results and what they mean. Alanine Aminotransferase ALT and Aspartate Aminotransferase AST These are liver enzymes normally found in liver cells that leak out of these cells and make their way to the blood when liver cells are injured.

The ALT is considered to be a more specific indicator of liver inflammation as AST is also found in other organs such as the heart and muscles. In acute injury to the liver, as in viral hepatitis, the level of the ALT and AST may be used as a general measure of the degree of liver inflammation or damage.

In chronic liver disease, this is not the case, for these enzymes may be entirely within the normal range even in the presence of cirrhosis liver scarring. Alkaline Phosphatase This is the most frequently used test to detect blockage obstruction in the biliary system. Elevation of this enzyme may be found in a large number of disorders such as gallstone disease, alcohol-related liver disease, drug-induced inflammation of the liver, primary biliary cholangitis PBC , and biliary tumors.

Although this enzyme is found both in the liver and bile, and leaks into the bloodstream in a manner similar to that described for the ALT and AST, alkaline phosphatase is also found in other organs such as bone, placenta, and intestine.

Bilirubin Test Bilirubin is a pigment formed primarily from the breakdown of a substance called heme found in red blood cells. It is taken up from the blood, processed, and then secreted into the bile by the liver.

A damaged liver cannot process bilirubin properly which leads to high level of this pigment in the blood. Albumin Test Albumin is the main protein which is made by the liver. Although there are many factors which can affect the level of albumin circulating in the blood, chronic liver disease causes a decrease in the amount of albumin produced, and therefore the level of albumin in the blood is reduced.

Blood clotting factors are proteins made by the liver. When the liver is injured, these proteins are not produced normally. Highly specialized tests may be used to indicate more specifically the presence of certain liver diseases.
