2938.Systemic Conditions related to Kidneys, Liver & Gall Bladder 6) Fatty Liver Disease

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an umbrella term for a range of liver conditions affecting people who drink little to no alcohol. As the name implies, the main characteristic of NAFLD is too much fat stored in liver cells.

NAFLD is increasingly common around the world, especially in Western nations. In the United States, it is the most common form of chronic liver disease, affecting about one-quarter of the population.

Some individuals with NAFLD can develop nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an aggressive form of fatty liver disease, which is marked by liver inflammation and may progress to advanced scarring (cirrhosis) and liver failure. This damage is similar to the damage caused by heavy alcohol use.

# Symptoms

NAFLD usually causes no signs and symptoms. When it does, they may include:

Fatigue

Pain or discomfort in the upper right abdomen

Possible signs and symptoms of NASH and advanced scarring (cirrhosis) include:

Abdominal swelling (ascites)

Enlarged blood vessels just beneath the skin's surface

Enlarged spleen

Red palms

Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)

The recommended supplements for fatty liver disease are: Organic Spirulina, Vitamin D3, & Platinum Turmeric.

1. Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae known for its high protein level and dense nutrient content. It is one of the world’s most well-known health supplements and has been consumed for centuries. One natural remedy that has gained attention for its potential benefits in managing fatty liver is organic spirulina. Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is rich in nutrients and antioxidants. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids that contribute to its potential health benefits. When it comes to fatty liver, organic spirulina is believed to be beneficial due to its ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the liver. It contains phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to have hepatoprotective effects. Additionally, spirulina has been found to have lipid-lowering properties, which may help in reducing the accumulation of fat in the liver. Furthermore, organic spirulina has been shown to improve liver function and enhance the body's natural detoxification processes. It aids in the removal of toxins and harmful substances from the liver, promoting overall liver health. While organic spirulina shows promise in supporting liver health and managing fatty liver disease, it is important to note that it should not replace medical treatment or a healthy lifestyle.

Our Organic Spirulina Powder is rich in essential amino acids lysine, methionine, cysteine, threonine, and phenylalanine which are crucial for supporting regular body functions. Furthermore, Spirulina has very high levels of iron, beta-carotene, and B vitamins. Spirulina is the perfect addition to your favorite smoothies and smoothie bowls.

2. Vitamin D3

Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the liver. This condition is often associated with obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Research suggests that vitamin D3, a form of vitamin D that is synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight, may play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of fatty liver. One of the key mechanisms through which vitamin D3 exerts its effects on fatty liver is by promoting the expression of genes involved in fat metabolism. Studies have shown that vitamin D3 supplementation can increase the expression of genes that facilitate the breakdown of triglycerides, the main type of fat stored in the liver. By enhancing the breakdown of triglycerides, vitamin D3 may help reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver, thus alleviating fatty liver disease. Moreover, vitamin D3 has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of fatty liver disease and is believed to contribute to the progression of the condition. By modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation, vitamin D3 may help mitigate the damage caused by fatty liver disease. Another important aspect of vitamin D3's role in fatty liver disease is its potential impact on insulin resistance. Insulin resistance, a condition in which the body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin, is closely linked to the development of fatty liver. Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D3 may improve insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing the risk of fatty liver and its associated complications.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, adults take one (1) softgel capsule daily or as directed by a health care professional. Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct light.

3. Platinum Turmeric

Platinum Turmeric, called curcumin, has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties are believed to play a crucial role in reducing liver inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key factors in the development and progression of fatty liver disease. Additionally, curcumin has been found to enhance the breakdown and clearance of fat from the liver, thus potentially reversing the fatty liver condition. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of Platinum Turmeric in reducing liver enzyme levels, improving liver function, and decreasing liver fat accumulation. Moreover, curcumin has been shown to have protective effects against liver damage caused by toxins and alcohol. However, it is important to note that while Platinum Turmeric shows promise in managing fatty liver disease, it should not be considered a standalone treatment. Lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, adopting a balanced diet, regular exercise, and limiting alcohol intake, are also crucial for the management of fatty liver.

Our Platinum Turmeric blend contains various forms of turmeric, glucosamine, Boswellia extract (frankincense), piperine, and several other highly beneficial natural extracts to keep you at your best. 

Natural extracts have been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to remedy illnesses. We harness and advance these natural extracts in modern times for optimal bioavailability and effectiveness.

Suggested Use: Take two (2) capsules once a day as a dietary supplement. For best results, take 20-30 min before a meal or as directed by your healthcare professional.
