Tracy Xiao (Nutritionist & Dietitian) says:
“The liver is responsible for detoxifying harmful substances such as alcohol, for metabolism, and nutrient storage, so maintaining its health is crucial. Major factors that affect liver health include excessive alcohol intake, high saturated fat and sugar consumption, being overweight, and long-term medication use.
As a nutritionist, I guide clients to protect their liver by limiting alcohol intake, maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants (e.g. from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains), and supporting a healthy weight.
Key nutrients that can assist liver function include B vitamins (for energy metabolism), vitamin C and E (for antioxidant protection), and amino acids from adequate protein intake.
Some evidence-based herbs—such as milk thistle (silymarin) and turmeric (curcumin)—may also support liver function, but I advise clients to discuss these with their healthcare professional, especially if on medication.”
The main takeaway? Lifestyle first, then targeted support where needed.

Liver Supplements Checklist
- Maintain good hydration.
- Take supplements with food (especially foods containing fats such as avocado) to support absorption of fat-soluble compounds (e.g. silymarin).
- Use cycles. In some cases, it is beneficial for the liver to take a rest from supplementations. Consider cycling your supplements, (e.g. 8-12 weeks on, 2 weeks off). Always check in with your health care professional.
- Always check for interactions, especially if you take medications (statins, anticoagulants, etc.).
Tips for Smarter Liver Support
- Lifestyle is foundational, supplements are secondary. Diet, weight, sleep and limiting toxins are first line.
- Moderate alcohol, saturated fat & sugar. These are major stressors on liver function.
- Choose purity and quality. Use high quality TGA approved supplements. Ask our Qualified team for their recommendations.
- Prioritise adequate sleep. Restful sleep supports detox, hormone balance and regeneration. Your liver works better when your whole system is rested.
- Monitor key markers. Use blood work (ALT, AST, GGT, bilirubin) and health metrics to measure benefit.
