How to boost your liver health – from herbal elixirs to post-drinking kits
KICKING booze can help you sleep better, have more energy and improve your mental health.
Plus you save some cash and gain a sense of achievement.
Going alcohol-free also helps your liver, which is regenerative and will heal itself in the long run.
Reducing your intake of sugar and processed food will help your liver health too.
And here are three other ways to ease pressure on your liver . . .
HERBAL ELIXIR
FORMULATED over a 20-year period, de-liver-ance can quickly reduce blood toxins by 42 per cent to detox the liver.

It claims to be able to reverse and reduce the risk of fatty liver.
It contains a large list of potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory herbs, including seanol, which comes from algae, ginseng, astragalus and turmeric.
They are mixed with peppermint, honey and water.
It comes in individual 22ml bottles and you knock back up to three a day.
It is brown and it doesn’t taste great, with a minty, sludgy, herbal flavour, but it really does pick you up.
I took one on a night out and it definitely stopped me getting as drunk.
Another bottle perked me up the next morning.
I think it’s a great natural product.
GLUTATHIONE
GLUTATHIONE is a nutrient present in the liver, heart and virtually all cells in the body.
It helps eliminate toxins, plays an essential role in supporting immune health and is vital in building and repairing tissues.
Great for those living in polluted cities.
It neutralises free radicals and reactivates vitamins C and E.
POST-DRINKING KIT
DESCRIBED as a hangover prevention product, Yeti & The Fox is designed for when you drink alcohol.
It consists of three capsules that are taken at different points of the evening.
The tablets replenish your glutathione levels as you drink, boosting liver function and increasing energy.
It also contains the amino acid L-cysteine which, according to research, relieves alcohol-induced ailments such as nausea, headache and anxiety.
It works. I felt so much better after a night out than I normally would. My head was clearer, my stomach less hideous.
