The liver is a vital organ responsible for some of the most important biological functions of everyday life. Ignoring your liver health needs can lead to serious health problems and even life-threatening conditions. Conversely, maintaining liver health with proper diet and supplementation can help protect your system and prevent many symptoms commonly related to poor liver health. That is why Revive has upgraded its signature liver supplement with an enhanced formula to provide complete liver care.

Revive’s all-new Liver product replaces the best-selling TUDCA product. The newly launched product is the same quality formula with two new additions - milk thistle and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). NAC is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that aids in overall liver health and detoxification. Milk thistle, which is more commonly known, aids in overall liver health.

Why Maintaining Liver Health Is Important

Let’s back it up and discuss the liver and its functions before diving into the breakdown of NAC and milk thistle for liver health. Your liver acts as a factory in many ways, including: 

• Removing potentially harmful byproducts of certain medications
• Metabolize nutrients from food to produce energy
• Produces most proteins needed by the body
• Prevents shortages of nutrients by storing vitamins, minerals, and sugar
• Produces bile to digest fat and absorb vitamins A, D, E and K
• Produces substances to regulate blood clotting
• Helps your body fight infections by removing bacteria from the blood 

Now that you know more about your liver and why it’s important to keep it healthy, let’s discuss the relativity of both NAC liver supplements and milk thistle liver support. As previously mentioned, Revive’s new Liver formula contains both NAC and milk thistle, and it combines these two ingredients’ natural benefits with the potent properties of TUDCA to support complete liver health. Not only does TUDCA provide many benefits, such as aiding with insulin function, cell regeneration, and eye health, but it also allows you to take advantage of every other supplement to yield greater results from them, including NAC and milk thistle.

Milk Thistle for Liver: Detoxify Your Body

Milk thistle comes from a flowering plant that is closely related to daisies. It is native to the Mediterranean region, and it is mainly used to make a diverse spectrum of natural remedies. Most users of milk thistle use it as a natural method to support liver health, but some people suggest it can also lower cholesterol and help manage type 2 diabetes. The active ingredient in milk thistle, or holy thistle as it is also known, is called silymarin. 

So, is milk thistle good for your liver? While milk thistle has many uses, it is a great addition to Revive's supplement formula because of its scientifically-backed benefits for liver health. There have been numerous studies suggesting milk thistle can support different aspects of liver health. For example, a comprehensive study in 2016 found that milk thistle can improve diet-induced liver damage. 

Researchers theorize that the active ingredient in milk thistle, silymarin, helps the liver by acting as an antioxidant that reduces free radical production. It is believed that this interaction creates a powerful detoxifying effect that, over time, can help promote improved liver health. Despite being relatively new in this part of the world, milk thistle may be a helpful complementary liver treatment to add to your daily routine. So, if you are wondering, “does this milk thistle work?”, the answer is yes.

NAC Liver Support Benefits

N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is the supplement form of cysteine, which is a semi-essential amino acid. Cysteine is found in most high-protein foods, such as chicken, turkey, yogurt, etc. The reason behind adding NAC into the new Liver formula is because it is responsible for replenishing the most powerful antioxidant in your body, glutathione. Glutathione helps neutralize free radicals that can damage cells and tissues in your body. If you’re still not convinced, doctors regularly give intravenous (IV) NAC to people with an acetaminophen overdose to prevent or reduce kidney and liver damage. 

Other NAC benefits include helping with detoxification to prevent or minimize kidney and liver damage, helping with symptoms of respiratory conditions, and boosting brain health by regulating glutamate levels and replenishing glutathione.

NAC and Milk Thistle for Liver

The new Liver formula still includes 300mg of TUDCA with some new additions. It includes 1000mg of milk thistle and 1000mg of the antioxidant NAC per serving, as well as 50mg of Astragin and 10mg Bioperine to help with the uptake and absorption of these individual ingredients. This means you will no longer have to choose between milk thistle or NAC for liver health. Together, all these ingredients combine for natural and powerful benefits that can help support liver health, including the following: 

• Overall liver assistance
• Help promote healthy insulin levels
• Enhanced cell regeneration
• Improved eye health
• Enhanced absorption of every other supplement

These are just some of the benefits of all these ingredients combined, but there is much more that Revive's Liver supplement can do for your overall health. We recommend combining the Liver supplement with Revive’s Kidney and Bergamot for a complete internal support system.

How to Use NAC and Milk Thistle

Revive’s upgraded formula makes integrating these ingredients into your routine easy and convenient. Simply, take the capsules with water once or twice a day, and you will soon be experiencing improved liver health thanks to all the benefits of NAC, milk thistle, and TUDCA.
