Why It Works
  • The artichoke leaves in this drink are a good source of cynarin, a compound that has been shown to support liver health. Cynarin has been shown to increase bile flow, which helps to remove toxins from the liver. It has also been shown to protect the liver from damage caused by free radicals.
  • The parsley leaves in this drink are a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the liver from damage. Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells. Free radicals can be produced by a variety of factors, including exposure to toxins, pollution, and UV radiation.
  • The lemon juice in this drink helps to improve digestion and absorption of the nutrients in the drink. Lemon juice is a good source of citric acid, which helps to break down food and make it easier to digest. Citric acid also helps to increase the absorption of vitamins and minerals from the drink.
