PRICE: $10.95 for each 60 capsule bottle (1/2 gram per capsule) Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is proud to offer a customized herbal blend (Liver Support Formula) which has been formulated to help cleanse and strengthen the liver - especially livers which have been damaged by disease or heavy alcohol consumption.  Click on these links: Milk Thistle Extract COA and Dandelion Root Extract COA, to view the Certificates of Analysis of the two potent extracts utilized in this blend. These vegetable-derived capsules (both Kosher and Halal certified) are filled by hand with a manual encapsulation machine, not with a high speed automatic machine, and thus, only pure, unadulterated herbal extracts are in the capsules. Capsules produced with high speed machines in herbal remedy and vitamin "factories" contain several other ingredients, including preservatives because so many bottles of product are produced at one time, and lubricants to ensure that the machines will run faster and more efficiently. Check their labels! Barlowe's capsules are unadulterated! Also, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs is one of the very few manufacturers that still pack their products in glass whenever possible, even though glass is more expensive.  Barlowe believes that chemicals can leach out of plastic containers and contaminate the contents, and that the use of glass is much better for the environment. Liver Support Formula contains two potent and very highly concentrated herbal extracts which are reknowned for cleansing and nourishing the liver. The first, Dandelion Root (Taraxacum Officinale),  has been utilized for centuries to combat jaundice and other liver and gallbladder problems, and to remove poisons from the blood. It also stimulates the kidneys to enable rapid removal of toxins. The genus name "Taraxacum" is derived from the Greek words  "taraxos" meaning "disorder" and "akos" meaning "remedy". In this formula, Barlowe's Herbal Elixirs uses a high priced, very powerful Dandelion Root Extract which has been standardized to a minimum of 20% Taraxasterols - the most biologically active ingredients in the root. The second herbal remedy found in Liver Support Formula is Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum) Extract. The extract used has been standardized to a minimum of 80% Silymarin and is the most potent Milk Thistle available. Milk Thistle has been utilized since Greco-Roman times as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, but particularly for liver problems. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, physicians widely used Milk Thistle to relieve congestion of the liver, spleen and kidneys. Today, several scientific studies suggest that Silymarin, the active ingredient in Milk Thistle, protects the liver from damage caused by alcohol, viruses, toxins and certain drugs such as acetaminophen. The use of Silymarin is widely recommended for the prevention and/or treatment of many liver disorders including viral hepatitis, fatty liver and damage caused by long-term alcohol abuse.
