* [[Lecithin]] seems to reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver of people who are being fed long-term through a needle in the vein (parenteral nutrition).
* [[Choline]] : Not getting enough choline may harm your liver.
* [[Milk Thistle]] may protect the liver against toxicity from acetaminophen (Tylenol), alcohol and other drugs. In Europe, milk thistle is reportedly administered to patients when they are given medications known to cause liver problems. There’s a compound in milk thistle that helps the liver regenerate its cells. Called silymarin, it’s a 2,000 year old secret to fighting liver damage.
* [[Dandelion]] : The Australian Journal of Medical Herbalism cited two studies that showed the liver regenerative properties of dandelion in cases of jaundice, liver swelling, hepatitis, and indigestion.
* Globe [[Artichoke]] contains compounds called caffeylquinic acids which have demonstrated powerful liver regenerating effects similar to milk thistle.
* [[Mind/Body Approaches]] : Frequent episodes of anger, irritability, resentment and frustration, directed internally or externally, cause qi to stagnate in the liver and give rise to a range of health abnormalities. ([[Emotional detox]])
* [[Turmeric]] (Curcuma longa) : A popular anti-inflammatory ingredient used in foods as well as anti-inflammatory herbal remedies, turmeric contains curcumin which showed promising potentials in protecting the liver against hepatotoxicty and liver diseases in several animal studies (such as this and this).
* [[Glutathione]] : Without enough of it, your liver cannot protect you from toxins, bacteria, and oxidative stress
*[[Jin Qian Cao]] (Herba lysimachiae) : In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jin Qian Cao, or literally gold coin grass, is used as a diuretic and to clear heat accumulated in the kidney, liver and gallbladder systems. It is also used in jaundice patients and those suffering from stones in their gallbladder, kidneys and bladder. Jin Qian Cao soaked in alcohol is also applied externally as a massage oil to relieve swelling, pain and bruises.
* [[Chanca Piedra]] (Phyllanthus niruri): is the equivalent of milk thistle but grows in the tropics instead of Europe. The herb shows comparable anti-hepatotoxicity effects to milk thistle in preclinical studies such as the one conducted by the University of Malaya. In the animal study, rats given either chanca piedra or milk thistle suffered significantly less carcinogen-induced liver damage than those that weren’t.
