OVERLOOKED ‘missing link’ in liver health… hiding in plain sight?
It’s one of the HARDEST-WORKING… yet UNDERAPPRECIATED… organs in your body.
It BEARS THE BRUNT of every drug you take… and every bite of food and sip of drink.
It’s your liver…
But you might not realize how VITAL it is… until something goes wrong with it!
More and more folks are STRUGGLING with their liver health – but these aren’t “boozers” we’re talking about.
You could never touch A DROP of the stuff… and still see the red flag warnings that you’ve got to do something to support your liver.
Fortunately, giving your liver health a nudge in the right direction couldn’t be easier…
But the secret I’m about to share with you has been OVERLOOKED for too long!
Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater
Try to wrap your head around this.
Folks who suffer from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are given antibiotics to relieve their symptoms…
Despite the fact that NAFLD isn’t a bacterial infection!
But since a sluggish liver could allow toxins from infection-causing bacteria to LEAK out into your bloodstream (a.k.a. endotoxemia)… docs prescribe antibiotics to put a band-aid on the situation…
Rather than addressing the ROOT CAUSE!
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you why that’s bad.
Overuse of antibiotic drugs has contributed to the emergence of “superbugs” that RESIST all conventional treatment!
But taking antibiotics for liver issues could do something else.
It could STRIP you of the “good bugs” that could actually PROTECT your liver!
That’s right – your microbiome doesn’t just influence your gut health and stop there.
Researchers are now talking about a gut-liver axis… in which BOOSTING the beneficial bacteria in your gut could help “tune up” your liver health.
Specifically, taking probiotics and probiotic/prebiotic combinations has shown to help SLOW the progression of liver disease…
Specifically regarding 2 of its major hallmarks:
- fat deposits (steatosis)
- formation of scar tissue (fibrosis)
Here’s where this really gets interesting…
Because studies have shown that supporting the gut microbiome ALSO can help SHORE UP the intestinal barrier…
And REDUCE endotoxemia!
Probiotics and prebiotics have also helped IMPROVE lipid profiles… REDUCE inflammation… and lower BMI in NAFLD patients.
Now, you might already be taking a probiotic supplement… or even one of the ones used in studies, like LGG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG)… or VSL #3.
But you could be MISSING OUT on the opportunity to help it work even better…
If you’re NOT combining it with prebiotics.
Prebiotics are dietary fibers that “feed” the beneficial bacteria in your gut… and help promote their growth and reproduction so they can properly colonize your microbiome.
You can kill two birds with one stone by taking a “synbiotic” supplement that combines BOTH of these crucial ingredients… in just the right amounts to be clinically effective.
One option is Florassist Liver Restore by Life Extension.
