Dandelion
Dandelion root enhances bile flow, thus improving conditions such as liver congestion, bile duct inflammation, hepatitis, gallstones, and jaundice. Dandelion increases bile flow by affecting the liver directly to cause an increase in bile production and flow to the gallbladder, and exerting a direct effect on the gallbladder by causing a contraction and release of stored bile. Dandelion’s hepatic tonic effect may be attributable to the high choline content.
Milk Thistle
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used since Greco-Roman times as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, particularly liver problems. Several scientific studies suggest that active substances in milk thistle (particularly silymarin) protect the liver from damage caused by viruses, toxins, alcohol, and certain drugs such as acetaminophen (a common over the counter medication used for headaches and pain; acetaminophen, also called paracetamol, can cause liver damage if taken in large quantities or by people who drink alcohol regularly.)
Many professional herbalists recommend milk thistle extract for the prevention and/or treatment of various liver disorders including viral hepatitis, fatty liver associated with long term alcohol use, and liver damage from drugs and industrial toxins such as carbon tetrachloride.

The best source of vitamins and minerals is from food. Although there is nothing wrong with taking a multivitamin, if individuals eat well, taking a basic multivitamin will not be necessary. In addition, some synthetic vitamin components can cause toxic build up in the human body and cause several health problems. Vitamin overdose have been linked to liver problems, weakened bones, and premature mortality. Individuals who decide to take multivitamin supplements should be wary in purchasing the right multivitamin or dietary supplement. Several health claims promoted by many health companies are doubtful and baseless. Many of multivitamins out in the market contain lycopene, a substance that is thought to prevent certain kinds of cancer. But many cancer specialists oppose this claim.
Subsequent studies conducted by the Food and Drug Administration show that the potentially protective role of lycopene might be contradictory of inconclusive. There are no solid evidence that exists that tomatoes prevent lung, breast cancer, cervical or uterine cancer. While there are very limited evidence that lycopene can reduce the risk of prostate, gastric, and ovarian cancer. The FDA study adds that it’s possible that tomatoes and lycopene could be helpful in preventing more advanced stage cancer, but may have no effect on the earlier-stage.
Despite many health warnings, the quest for the right multivitamin still uncontrollable. Individuals who decide to take multivitamins should consult doctors to know the right amounts of vitamins and minerals that should be consumed. Side effects and drug interactions that may occur while taking medical supplementation should also be known. Understanding the health benefits and possible adverse effects of multivitamins can lead to improved overall health.
