| Liver problems? One solution, three choices. |
|
When liver function is compromised...
|
 |
One of the body’s largest organs, the liver, is involved in many vital metabolic and biochemical processes. One of the liver’s main functions is the provision of pathways for the disposal of waste products and the production of antioxidants such as glutathione peroxidase.
|
|
In a recent study, 51% of dogs and 82% of cats with liver problems were reported to be deficient in glutathione.1
|
|
Liver dysfunction often results in a drop in the production of S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which leads to reduced levels of hepatic glutathione.
|
| Preventing the downward spiral of liver damage |
|
Symptoms of liver dysfunction are often vague and subtle (especially in the early stages of liver disease) and its etiology often remains unclear. Regardless of the cause, support of the liver is crucial to ensure optimal health and longevity. The exogenous administration of SAMe is recommended to improve hepatic glutathione levels2 and has been shown to have a direct effect on liver enzymes, bile acids, and total bilirubin.
