Vital Nutrients Liver SupportPromoted as a health product to support liver function, help inhibit arachidonic acid metabolism, and protect liver cells against damage, Vital Nutrients Liver Support is our next product up for review. This product is from an established American company with over two hundred dietary supplements and lots of good product reviews, but is that enough to make us think that this is a successful product? This product includes some of the ingredients that we were specifically looking for in a liver support supplement. Its formula contains Artichoke Extract, Milk Thistle Extract and Choline (Bitartrate) in addition to other active herbs and compounds for supporting liver health. As far as formulas go, this one looks promising. However, it is unclear to us if this formula will actually be effective. Although the ingredients are pure and high quality, some of them are not in the proven clinical doses, and there is no addition of a bioavailability enhancer such as BioPerine® which will affect the overall effectiveness of this product. Vital Nutrients supplements are third-party tested, free of unnecessary ingredients and contaminants and have a 30-day return policy. These are all things that endorse a product, even though the return policy is shorter and less comprehensive than some of its peers. When reviewing this product, we found a few things that just didn’t meet our standards. Read our full review before you buy for a thorough list of pros and cons regarding Vital Nutrients Liver Support. |

Body Ecology LivAmendLivAmend claims to be an effective supplement for supporting the liver, increasing bile flow and helping with bowel elimination. It is one of an extensive range of products from Body Ecology, a whole-body healing approach from Donna Gates that focuses on immune disorders and digestive health, and aims to restore health and vitality via supplements, dietary changes, courses and educational materials. When reviewing this product, we were pleased to see an ingredient list that is at least partially based on science and uses high doses of some of the active ingredients. The 430mg dose of Artichoke Extract is especially high, and more than the amount found in many brands, but 60mg of Milk Thistle Extract is not even a quarter of the amount found in our Editor’s Choice product. Unfortunately, there are no ingredients added to increase the bioavailability of the nutrients to achieve faster results, which also reduces the overall benefits of this product. We think Body Ecology did a reasonably good job in crafting their formula, especially considering that there are no harmful additives, fillers, binders or artificial ingredients. LivAmend does have cGMP certification, but there is no indication of testing done on either the ingredients or the finished product, nor any third-party testing. Additionally, there is only a partial money-back policy, with conditions attached to product returns. These are all elements that inspire customer confidence and could have helped to push this product higher up in the rankings. Continue reading to see why this product made our #3 spot. |
