6 Popular Supplements That Can Damage Your Live
Do You Need a Liver Detox?One of your liver’s major jobs is to filter toxins from your bloodstream, but that doesn’t mean that those toxins get stuck in there or that you need to do anything to clean them out.
“The liver naturally excretes toxins in things like bile, which gets passed in bowel movements,” Lim says. Mansouri agrees that there’s absolutely no reason to do a cleanse or take special supplements for the sake of better liver health. “‘Liver detox’ is such a misleading term used by the wellness industry to sell their products. Our liver’s job is to detoxify and filter harmful substances from our body, and it does it very well. We don’t need any supplements to support this [process]. In fact, some of these supplements can harm the liver, cause liver failure and even death in severe cases.”
