The natural way to protecting your liver

Phyllanthus Nuri

This is a long-studied herb that have been shown to contain many medicinal properties, and one of them worth noting is its effect in liver protection. Researchers have discovered the main backbone behind this miracle plant is a compound called Corilagin. 

A year 2007 study conducted in liver-induced damage mice showed that proteins isolated from this herb brought the liver back to almost normal conditions. This suggests an ability of this herb to protect our liver tissues, and if liver is damage, this herb can stimulate the liver to repair itself.

There are other studies involving this herb as an alternative treatment to Hepatitis B, a viral liver infection. Although the evidences are not conclusive, the findings suggest augmented results when extracts of this plant are taken in combination with medicinal treatment.

In Malaysia, extracts of this plant can be found in the form of a tablet called Hepar-P. This is a product manufactured by Nova Laboratories Sdn Bhd. Make sure to grab a bottle the next time you stop by Farmasi Alpha USJ1 Mydin Mall.
