Why Formula Depth Matters When Single-Ingredient Liver Supplements Don't Cover the Whole System
Most liver products lean on one ingredient at a token dose. Ours stacks five clinically-referenced actives across cellular protection, bile flow, antioxidant defence and fat metabolism — each dosed at or above the ranges used in published research.

|---|---|---|---|
| Formula Depth | ✓ 5 dosed actives per serving (8 caps) NAC, TUDCA, Milk Thistle, Choline, Zinc — one system, one label | ✕ Usually 1 ingredient Addresses one pathway (e.g. antioxidant OR bile flow, not both) | ✕ 8–15+ herbs, trace amounts each Breadth over dose — most ingredients sit well under studied levels |
| Cellular Protection | ✓ N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) 1,200mg Within the 600–1,800mg/day range used in randomized liver-enzyme trials | ✕ Often absent, or NAC dosed under 600mg Below the range shown to improve liver enzymes in trials | ✕ Rarely included at an active dose Antioxidant amino acids aren't the focus of herbal detox blends |
| Bile Flow & Cholestasis Support | ✓ TUDCA 600mg Sits within the 500–750mg/day range studied for liver enzyme and bile flow support | ✕ Uncommon as a standalone product Rarely paired with cofactors that support its uptake | ✕ Almost never included TUDCA is a bile acid with clinical research behind it, not a typical "cleanse" herb |
| Antioxidant & Detox Pathway Support | ✓ Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) 20:1 extract, 400mg Extract-equivalent to ~8,000mg raw milk thistle, supporting Phase I & II detox pathways | ✕ Standardized to 150–300mg silymarin Often below the 200–400mg silymarin range most studied | ✕ Low-ratio extract, diluted with dandelion/artichoke Milk thistle content diluted across many other herbs |
| Methylation & Fat Metabolism | ✓ Choline (as Choline Bitartrate) 400mg — 72% DV Supports lipid transport out of the liver, a key cofactor most liver blends skip | ✕ Not typically included Single-ingredient products don't address fat metabolism cofactors | ✕ Rarely included, or under 50mg Detox blends focus on herbs, not methylation nutrients |
| Enzymatic Cofactor Support | ✓ Zinc (as Zinc Glycinate) 10mg — 90% DV A well-absorbed chelated form supporting liver enzyme function and immune defence | ✕ Not typically included Outside a single-ingredient product's scope | ✕ Rarely included, or in poorly-absorbed oxide form Token inclusion for the label, not functional support |
| Best For | ✓ Daily liver protection, detox pathway & bile flow support One stack covering cellular, antioxidant and metabolic pathways together | ✕ Isolated support for one specific pathway Good if you only need one mechanism covered | ✕ General "cleanse" framing Not formulated around dosed, evidence-referenced actives |
