Resveratrol
Sourced from grapes and berries, Resveratrol activates key liver enzymes like AMPK and SIRT1. This activation signals the liver to ramp up its fat-burning processes (fatty acid oxidation) and helps convert stored white fat into metabolically active brown fat. By enhancing mitochondrial function within liver cells, Resveratrol improves the organ's energy efficiency, allowing it to process fats more effectively. This not only supports the liver's detoxification workload but also contributes to a higher overall metabolic rate, aiding in weight management and metabolic health.

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea Extract)
Primarily valued for its high concentration of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and caffeine, Camellia Sinensis significantly boosts liver fat metabolism. EGCG enhances the activity of fat-burning enzymes within the liver, promoting the breakdown of stored triglycerides for energy. It also helps inhibit enzymes that create new fat. Caffeine synergistically stimulates the central nervous system, increasing calorie expenditure. Together, they enhance the liver's ability to oxidize fats and support a higher metabolic rate, making the liver a more efficient fat-processing center.
3
Genistein
This potent isoflavone, found in soy, acts as a natural regulator of fat metabolism in the liver. Genistein activates PPAR-alpha receptors, which control genes responsible for fatty acid transport and oxidation (beta-oxidation). By turning on these pathways, it instructs liver cells to break down fatty acids more efficiently for fuel instead of storing them. Additionally, Genistein helps reduce the synthesis of new fatty acids and triglycerides within the liver, preventing fat accumulation. This optimized fat utilization directly supports liver health and metabolic function.
4
Chlorogenic Acid
Abundant in green coffee beans, Chlorogenic Acid supports liver fat metabolism through several key actions. It helps modulate glucose absorption and utilization in the liver, preventing excess sugar from being converted into fat (lipogenesis). More crucially, it enhances the activation of AMPK in liver cells. When AMPK is activated, it signals the liver to increase fat burning for energy (fatty acid oxidation) and simultaneously decreases the production of new fat and cholesterol. This dual action helps reduce liver fat content and supports a healthier metabolic profile.
5
Choline
This essential nutrient (often grouped with B-vitamins) is critical for liver function, particularly fat transport. Choline is a primary component of phosphatidylcholine, a key building block of cell membranes and, importantly, Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDL). VLDL particles are how the liver packages triglycerides (fat) to be shipped out into the bloodstream for use by other tissues as energy. Without adequate choline, fat accumulates in the liver (contributing to fatty liver), impairing its function. By ensuring efficient fat export, choline keeps the liver clear and supports its metabolic and detoxification roles.
6
Silymarin (Milk Thistle Extract)
This potent antioxidant protects liver cells from damage by toxins and free radicals. It supports the liver's natural detoxification pathways and may help reduce inflammation. By improving overall liver health and function, Silymarin aids the organ in more effectively processing fats and supporting metabolic processes essential for energy production.
7
Betaine
Betaine acts as a methyl donor, crucial for liver cell function and fat metabolism. It helps prevent fatty buildup in the liver itself (hepatic steatosis) by promoting the export and breakdown of fats. A healthier, less fatty liver functions more efficiently in detoxification and metabolic processes, including fat utilization for energy.
8
Berberine
Berberine activates AMPK, an enzyme often called the "metabolic master switch." This activation improves insulin sensitivity, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and enhances the liver's ability to manage fat storage and breakdown. By improving metabolic function, Berberine supports the liver's role in fat metabolism and energy balance.
9
Molybdenum
This essential trace mineral is a vital component of key liver detoxification enzymes, particularly sulfite oxidase and aldehyde oxidase. These enzymes help neutralize and eliminate harmful toxins and metabolic byproducts. By supporting efficient detoxification, Molybdenum reduces the liver's toxic burden, allowing it to focus more energy on metabolic functions like fat processing.
10
Glutathione
Often called the body's "master antioxidant," Glutathione is crucial for liver detoxification. It directly binds to toxins (conjugation) making them water-soluble for excretion. It also protects liver cells from oxidative stress during fat metabolism and toxin processing. Adequate Glutathione levels are fundamental for optimal liver detox capacity and metabolic efficiency.
