CORDYCEPS MILITARIS (CORDYCEPS)
Cordyceps is rich in bioactive compounds that have been shown through numerous studies to protect the liver from developing Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or Cirrhosis and improving overall liver function and health by:
Providing hepatoprotective, free radical-scavenging antioxidants, as well as raising hepatic Glutathione levels and lowering lipid peroxide levels, thus protecting against inflammation and degenerative, oxidative damage in the liver.
Lowering total lipid and triglyceride levels, as well as serum ALT concentrations.
Preventing lipid accumulation in the hepatocytes (liver cells).
COPRINUS COMATUS (SHAGGY MANE)
Various scientific studies have demonstrated that this highly nutritious mushroom, full of liver-enhancing compounds such as, polysaccharides, tocopherols, organic and phenolic acids, exerts potent hepatoprotective bioactivities.
Coprinus comatus has also been shown to enhance antioxidant-enzyme activity, which noticeably improves alcohol metabolism and resultant inflammatory responses, thereby preventing and even mitigating liver damage.
LENTINUS EDODES (SHIITAKE)
Shiitake is very rich in antioxidant- polyphenols, which are thought to be the primary bioactive compounds responsible for its hepatoprotective properties.
Research on Shiitake’s protective effects against liver fibrosis has demonstrated that it may inhibit the overaccumulation of hepatic collagen fibrils and suppress the overexpression of genes responsible for protein accumulation in the liver, as well as preventing structural changes and production of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), associated with liver fibrosis.
AGARICUS BRASILIENSIS (ALMOND MUSHROOM)
Potent, hepatoprotective polysaccharides and antioxidants, have been identified in Agaricus brasiliensis.
The polysaccharides have also been shown to provide substantial protection against hepatic mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, as well as lowering ALT levels (a liver enzyme associated with liver damage), thus inducing the production of healthy hepatocytes (liver cells) and tissue.
PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS (OYSTER MUSHROOM)
Oyster mushrooms are loaded with antioxidants, shown to protect the liver cells from damage and even death (apoptosis), associated with inflammation and certain metabolic- pathway disorders or resulting from the intake of a variety of toxins.
Several Scientific studies have also demonstrated that Pleurotus ostreatus decreases blood levels ALT and AST (Liver enzymes associated with liver toxicity, damage or disease), as well as malondialdehyde (inflammatory marker), whilst increasing levels of hepatoprotective, antioxidant-enzymes; superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase.
CBD
CBD activates the endocannabinoid system which helps regulate liver lipogenesis (fat formation) and mediates Insulin resistance, whilst anti-inflammatory antioxidants, found in abundance in CBD, decrease fatty acid oxidation, thus providing protection from Steatosis (fatty liver).
Choline
Choline is an essential nutrient vital for many body functions, such as nerve signaling, as well as liver (helps remove fat from the liver) and muscle functioning. The body can’t make enough choline on its own, so we need to get it from our diet. choline is a newcomer to the nutritional scene. It wasn’t recognized as an essential nutrient until 1998, when a study by the Institute of Medicine discovered that choline deficiency can lead to fatty liver disease and muscle damage.
