Optimal Organ Health

HTLT Liver Support is the most comprehensive liver and organ support product on the market.  Don't just take our word for it.  We let our products speak for themselves!

500mg TUDCA  |  1000mg Inositol  |  700mg Alpha Lipoic Acid 

TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid Sodium)

TUDCA is recognized as one of the most impressive agents for liver support.  TUDCA has been shown to protect the liver, treat cholestasis, rehabilitate the liver when damage has occurred, reduce stress to any cell’s endoplasmic reticulum, reduce insulin resistance, serve as a neuroprotective agent, and decrease cholesterol.*

Inositol

Inositol plays a role in insulin signaling and may improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin in some cases.  Inositol has been shown to help lower triglyceride levels in the blood, increase HDL levels, and help with high blood pressure and blood sugar issues.*

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

Alpha-lipoic acid is a vitamin-like chemical called an antioxidant.  The antioxidant properties of alpha-lipoic acid have been linked to several benefits, including lower blood sugar levels, reduced inflammation, reduced liver size, slowed skin aging, and improved nerve function.*

Milk Thistle Extract (80%)

Milk Thistle contains silymarin, a group of compounds said to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Milk thistle has been found to help detoxify the liver, improve liver function, prevent cholesterol, rebuild liver cells, and remove toxic substances from the liver.*

Choline

Low levels of choline has been shown to accumulate fat in the liver.  Choline has been shown to help in the transport of fat and cholesterol, energy metabolism, and cell/nerve signaling.*

Selenium

Selenium has been shown to help body processes work correctly, as well as increase the action of antioxidants in the body.  Selenium has also been shown to aid in the stimulation of the thyroid.*

Beet Root Extract

Beet root contains antioxidants that help protect the liver, as well as enhance the liver's ability to function.  Beet root has also been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce triglycerides in the blood, and fight fat deposits in the liver.*

Burdock Root Extract

Burdock Root, best when used with Dandelion Extract, is full of antioxidants that are effective at protecting and enhancing the liver.  Burdock Root has also been shown to remove toxins from the blood.  Lastly, Burdock Root has been shown to stimulate the Lymphatic System, the body's way of "draining" and "detoxifying" blood and other cells.*

Dandelion Extract

Dandelion Extract, best when used with Burdock Root, has been shown to help cleanse the liver via reduction of oxidative stress on the liver, allowing the liver to heal.*

Zinc

Zinc plays a vital role in all types of systems in the body.  For organ health in particular, Zinc has been shown to reduce inflammation of the liver and other organs.  Zinc has also been shown to reduce bad cholesterol levels, allowing the liver and other organs to function more efficiently.*

BioPerine

BioPerine as a patented ingredient has claimed increased absorption of Selenium and other nutrients through thermogenesis.  BioPerine has also shown inflammation reducing benefits.*
