Licorice has been shown to have hepatoprotective effects, including protection against toxins such as carbon tetrachloride, as well as against the excess free fatty acids that accompany non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Alpha-lipoic acid is a water- and fat-soluble antioxidant involved in hepatoprotection and the prevention of cellular damage. It has the ability to alter the redox status of cells and interact with thiols, thereby increasing the glutathione content of the liver.
Silybin is the most active flavonolignan isomer of silymarin. It acts through several pathways, including antioxidant, antilipid peroxidant, antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and liver regenerative mechanisms. It also improves glucuronidation and protects against glutathione depletion. Schizandra, curcumin, and Panax ginseng are also hepatoprotective, supporting detoxification pathways and improving liver function.
