Pure Encapsulations Liver-G.I. Detox - Formulated to help support gastrointestinal health and function of the liver, an organ involved in detoxification. Silymarin supports the liver by enhancing phase II detoxification enzymes, supporting glutathione synthesis and promoting liver cell functions. With the amino acids glutamine, glycine and taurine, methionine is a lipotropic compound that enhances healthy hepatic function by supporting lipid metabolism and glutathione concentration. Alpha lipoic acid is a water- and fat-soluble antioxidant, which allows it to function in almost any part of the body, including the liver. NAC is a precursor to glutathione, and supplemental NAC increases tissue levels of glutathione. This formula also offers sulforaphane, an important metabolite from broccoli sprout concentrate, along with turmeric, which has a long history of use for providing broad-spectrum support. Artichoke extract is used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve digestive disturbances and increase bile flow, providing aid to the digestive process. Chlorella, the most studied –green food,– is traditionally celebrated for its beneficial health properties.

Why people keep reordering it

Cartilage and connective tissue: Supports the structures that keep joints moving comfortably.
Mobility and recovery: For active bodies and everyday wear alike.
Skin, hair and nails too: Collagen support that shows beyond the joints.

Best suited to: heavy or fatty meals sit badly, want the gut and liver sides in one bottle, testing a direction before committing.

What the research supports

Three capsules a day give 187.5 mg of artichoke leaf extract and 337.5 mg of L-glutamine for the gut lining. The bottle lasts 20 days.

Artichoke leaf trials use 320 to 640 mg a day.

Digestive comfort (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial): Artichoke leaf increases bile flow, which helps break down fat in a meal, and trials at 320 mg and up report less bloating and discomfort afterward.
Bile acids (evidence: limited, from ): Taurine is one of the building blocks the liver uses to make bile acids that digest fat, but there is little human trial work testing that process directly in unstressed people.
Glutathione (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial): NAC and methionine both feed the pathway your liver uses to make glutathione, its main detox antioxidant, though trials showing a clear rise use several times the 150 mg of NAC here.
Liver enzymes (evidence: mixed, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis): Milk thistle's silymarin is thought to shield liver cells from oxidative damage, but trials disagree with each other, and the ones showing benefit generally use several times this extract amount.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

Heavy or fatty meals sit badly: Artichoke leaf is the bile flow ingredient with actual trial support for post meal discomfort, and it is paired here with taurine, which the body uses to conjugate bile acids.
Want the gut and liver sides in one bottle: Glutamine, glycine and taurine work the intestinal and bile end while milk thistle, NAC and lipoic acid work the liver end, a split most single purpose formulas do not attempt.
Testing a direction before committing: Twelve ingredients at modest doses is a reasonable way to learn which lever helps you before paying for a full dose single active.

Look elsewhere if

Persistent or worsening digestive symptoms: Symptoms that keep coming back deserve a proper workup and a cause, not a 20 day bottle of a blend.
Reacts to the daisy family: Milk thistle and artichoke are both in that family and the label rules this out. Plain glutamine, glycine and taurine cover the amino acid side with no botanicals.
Wanting real support for the gut lining: L-glutamine powder at 5 g a day is the dose that research uses. Three capsules here give 337.5 mg.

What to expect

The label asks for three weeks of use before judging it, which is honest. What people report first, if anything, is heavier meals sitting easier within a week or two, which would be the artichoke and taurine. There is no perceptible liver effect to wait for.

How it compares

Compared with a standalone milk thistle capsule: The amino acids and artichoke give this a digestive and bile angle that milk thistle on its own has nothing to say about. The tradeoff: The milk thistle itself is at a fraction of a standalone dose, and 60 capsules at three a day runs out in under three weeks.
Compared with the brand's mineral and pectin antioxidant blend: This one is built for the gut and bile end, with glutamine, artichoke and a much heavier amino acid load. The tradeoff: It drops the selenium, zinc and 1,000 mcg of sulforaphane that the other formula uses for antioxidant defence.
