The last time you thought about your liver was probably never, but the liver is actually the unsung hero of the body, especially when it comes to hormonal health. Why? Well, the liver is the body's main detox organ. It's where all toxins are processed and eliminated.
And if you didn’t know, your hormones are processed through our liver! So we need our liver to be working efficiently in order to help keep our hormones balanced - It's where nutrients are metabolised and hormones balanced.
Signs Your Liver Needs Support
How do you know if your liver needs a cleanse? Here's a list of symptoms that may indicate your liver needs a break:
- Mood swings
- Low energy
- Foggy brain
- Irregular cycles
- Poor sleep
- Stressed
- Skin breakouts
The Liver-Hormone Connection
Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate everything from your mood and metabolism to your menstrual cycle and stress response.
Once they've done their job, they don't just disappear - they go to the liver to be broken down.
If the liver is overloaded, thanks to stress, processed foods, alcohol, or environmental toxins, the process slows down and the hormones and toxins get recirculated or linger, causing symptoms like bloating, acne, fatigue, or irregular periods.
Liver-Supporting Nutrients
Supporting your liver doesn't necessarily mean a week-long juice cleanse or a diet of bland food - no, it's about eating fresh healthy food and utilising powerhouse nutrients from nature.
Chlorophyll: Nature's Green Detoxifier
Chlorophyll, the pigment that makes plants green, is a superstar for liver health. It binds to toxins and heavy metals in your body, making it easier for your liver to process and flush them out. Bonus: it's also loaded with antioxidants which help reduce inflammation - a major win for both hormones and your liver.
Take it internally in liquid form and add any green leafy vegetables to your diet - spinach, broccoli, parsley, matcha, kale, coriander (the list is endless).
Milk Thistle: The Liver's Best Friend
This spiky plant has been used for centuries to support liver health. It contains silymarin, a compound known to protect liver cells from damage and boost regeneration. Think of it as a gentle but effective liver cleanser, especially if you are stressed and on a diet high in processed food and alcohol.
Turmeric: The Anti-inflammatory Powerhouse
Turmeric, with its golden orange hue and earthy flavor, is a superhero for your liver. Its active ingredient curcumin reduces inflammation, enhances bile production (important for digestion and detox), and supports the liver's natural detoxification.
The good news? All these powerful liver-supporting ingredients can be found in our Hormone Check Drops. But what makes our drops special isn't just the ingredients - it's how they're delivered.
Unlike pills that need to go through your digestive system (where many nutrients are lost), our sublingual drops are absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the blood vessels under your tongue. This means the active compounds from milk thistle, chlorophyll, and turmeric are delivered in their most bioavailable form - allowing for maximum absorption and effectiveness.
When you place these drops under your tongue, you're getting these powerful ingredients in their most potent form, without any fillers or binders commonly found in pills. The liquid delivery system also means faster results - your liver gets the support it needs quickly and efficiently.
Additional Liver Support Tips
- Stay hydrated - water helps flush out toxins
- Eat fiber-rich food - think veggies, fruits, and whole grains to eliminate toxins
- Limit alcohol and processed foods - your liver will thank you
- Move your body - boosts circulation and helps liver function
