To those of us that live the lifestyle, no sport is as great as bodybuilding. However, the bodybuilding lifestyle can be hard on such critical organs as the liver, heart, prostate gland, and kidneys. The demands of increased eating, aggressive supplement choices, and a rapid gain in mass can all have an impact on the body’s organs. As well, skin health and the prevention of acne is an important concern for many bodybuilders, as hormone levels tend to increase which in turn can wreak havoc on the skin.

It makes a lot of sense to take care of your health and the Liver & Organ Defender helps you do that no matter if you are on a cycle, post cycle or just want overall health support.
Ingredient Profile
Liver Support
The liver weighs in at a little over 3lbs. At roughly the size of a football, it’s the largest vital organ in the body and regulates hundreds of chemical actions. Compared to the average person, bodybuilders put a great deal of stress on their liver due to aggressive supplement use and a higher than normal protein intake. The liver still must filter everything despite the increased stress. Liver and Organ Defender promotes liver health and function with a comprehensive ingredient complex that goes beyond anything offered by the competition.
N-Acetyl Cysteine – 1000 mg
N-Acetyl-Cysteine, also known as NAC, consists of the amino acid Cysteine with an acetyl group attached, which improves absorption and stability. Once consumed, NAC metabolizes into glutathione, which is known as one of the most powerful antioxidants. NAC scavenges free radicals and detoxifies the liver.
Milk Thistle Powder – 600 mg
Milk Thistle is an herb with extensive use in traditional medicines as a treatment for various liver disorders. Milk Thistle has become one of the most well-known and effective ingredients for supporting liver health and function. The active ingredient in Milk Thistle is called Silymarin and has potent antiviral and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Twin Tiger ™L-Glutathione – 30 mg
Glutathione consists of the amino acids glutamine, glycine, and cysteine and, as said above, is considered one of the powerful antioxidants. It helps to detoxify toxins in the liver as well as the entire body. The combination of NAC, Milk Thistle, and Glutathione sets Liver & Organ Defender apart from the competition because while other products may have one or two of these ingredients, they do not have all three.
Heart Support
The importance of a healthy heart is obvious. After all, your heart is largely responsible for keeping you alive, from pumping blood to oxygen transport to immune system health and function. Some of the side effects of aggressive supplementation include high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. This means you should work to lower cholesterol and blood pressure to improve heart health. A great first step is to use the Liver and Organ Defender!
Hawthorn Berry Powder – 1100 mg
Hawthorn Berry has a long history of use in traditional medicines due to its high content of phytonutrients such as tannins, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, and phenolic acids. Recent research has shown an ability to treat arrhythmias and congestive heart failure.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid – 400 mg
ALA is a potent antioxidant that’s made by the body primarily in the mitochondria. ALA decreases oxidative stress which is related to heart disease and helps lower cholesterol.
Garlic Extract – 300 mg
Garlic has a long medicinal history as well as a culinary one. In recent years people have used Garlic as a solution to the common cold, but it also helps lower high blood pressure and reduce high cholesterol.
Dimagnesium Malate – 250 mg
Magnesium is an especially important mineral that’s involved in hundreds of functions such as supporting calcium absorption and bone health. It’s especially important to bodybuilders and athletes because it’s involved in nerve transmission, muscular contractions, and heart health. This version blends Magnesium with Malic Acid, which plays a role in the ATP energy system.
Coenzyme Q10 – 25 mg
Approved to treat heart failure in Japan since 1974, Co-Q10 found mainly in the mitochondria and is a part of the ATP energy system that also acts as an anti-oxidant. Up to 95% of the energy needs of the body are generated by the ATP energy system and the heart is no exception. In fact, the heart, liver, and kidneys all have a high demand for energy. They also have naturally high concentrations of Co-Q 10. Along with supporting energy metabolism, Co-Q10 helps lower high blood pressure and supports heart health.
Prostate Support
The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system and mainly responsible for helping to make semen. The primary health concern that’s associated with the prostate is enlargement which can lead to prostate cancer, therefore it makes a lot of sense to do everything you can to support prostate health.
Saw Palmetto - 1,000 mg
Saw Palmetto is native to the Southeastern United States and has a long history in the treatment of urinary tract problems. Today, Saw Palmetto is one of the most common herbs used to support prostate health.
Kidney Support
The kidneys are among the body’s most important vital organs and are mainly involved in filtering waste products from the blood. Additionally, the kidneys help regulate blood pressure. The extra stress put on your kidneys by the lifestyle habits of extreme bodybuilders means it makes sense to use Liver and Organ Defender for optimal kidney support.
Cordyceps Sinensis - 500mg
Cordyceps is a mushroom used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as an overall health tonic. Mushrooms are a fungus; Cordyceps originates on caterpillars that live in the mountainous regions of China. Recent use has been to alleviate fatigue, fight stress, and support kidney health.
Skin Support
Everybody wants clear, healthy skin. Not only does healthy skin look good, but it’s also a sign of good health. It should go without saying that a good complexion sets a strong visual example that can enhance the stereotyped image of bodybuilding as an unhealthy lifestyle. Additionally, hormones play a key role in acne problems, which is an unpleasant skin condition at best. Liver and Organ Defender helps promote healthy skin and reduce the problems commonly associated with acne.
Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate – 300 mg
Zinc is one of the most important minerals because it plays a key role in testosterone production, protein metabolism, and immune system health. Additionally, Zinc fights acne and supports overall skin health.
Selenium Glycinate Chelate – 70 mcg
Selenium is an important trace mineral that helps reduce the appearance of scars caused by acne, increase the skin’s elasticity, and protect the skin from the negative effects of oxidative stress.
