LV-GB Complex™ - 90 capsules

LV-GB Complex™ is designed to provide nutritional support for the liver and gallbladder.* We typically think
of the heart and the brain as the most critical organs in the human body, but the liver is no less crucial. The
short list of things the liver is responsible for includes detoxification, protein and fatty acid synthesis, blood
sugar regulation, hormone balance and healthy digestion. Because the liver supports almost every other
organ and tissue system in the body, healthy liver function is essential for optimal vitality and wellbeing.
One of the key processes of the liver is the production and excretion of bile, a substance that helps
break down fats for digestion. (Bile, itself, does not digest fat; it breaks fats into tiny droplets, giving the
enzymes that do digest fats more surface area upon which to work, which makes them more effective
and efficient.) The liver produces bile, but bile is primarily stored in the small, pear-shaped organ known
as the gallbladder. Besides being a storage tank for bile,
the gallbladder also helps to maintain healthy bile flow: the
presence of dietary fat stimulates the gallbladder to release
bile at the appropriate time and in the appropriate amount.
Individuals who have had their gallbladder removed still
produce bile, but its secretion may not always be wellmatched to the timing and amount of fat in their meals.
Certain nutrients are known to help keep bile flowing
smoothly and efficiently. This is important because
stagnation of bile may result in problems with digesting
fats and, over the long term, may potentially result
in compromised gallbladder function. The blend of
ingredients in this formula includes the amino acids taurine
and methionine, beta-carotene, ox bile and inositol, which
promote bile flow and aid the liver in its elimination of
fatty substances.*
Other active ingredients include vitamins B6 and B12, and an herbal mixture consisting of milk thistle,
artichoke and powdered beetroot, all of which support the liver’s detoxification process and promote
bile flow.* Milk thistle is a well-researched herb shown to foster regeneration of liver cells and aid in the
flow of bile to promote healthy gallbladder function.* Artichoke strengthens the bile ducts and the gut.*
Beetroot is an excellent source of betaine, which supports optimal digestion of essential fats and fatsoluble vitamins.* (Beet kvass, a traditional Eastern European beverage made from beets, has long been
used as a digestive tonic for this reason.)
