What's inside Hepaliv?

Hepaliv combines milk thistle extract, Desmodium adscendens extract, rosemary leaf extract, green tea leaf extract, Gymnema leaf extract, kola nut powder, betaine, N-acetyl-L-cysteine and saffron extract, each dosed and disclosed individually on the label rather than hidden behind a generic "proprietary blend".

⚠️ Important: Hepaliv is a food supplement, not a medicine. It should not replace a varied, balanced diet or professional medical advice. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have a health condition, consult a healthcare professional before use.

How does Hepaliv compare with other products?

Many similar supplements on the UK market rely on a shorter ingredient list, or hide individual doses behind a generic "proprietary blend". Here is how Hepaliv's disclosed composition compares with what we typically see across comparable products:

Criteria Hepaliv Average market product
Number of active ingredients 9 Typically 3 to 5
Amino acids included 2 (betaine, NAC) Rarely included
Dosage per ingredient disclosed Yes, all 9 ingredients Often partial or blended
Caffeine content disclosed Yes Not always specified
Money-back guarantee 180 days Typically 30 to 60 days

This comparison reflects the breadth and transparency of the formula's composition, not a claim of superior effectiveness. As with any supplement, individual results vary.

Ingredient breakdown and how each one is traditionally used

🌸 Milk thistle extract – 100 mg

Milk thistle extract, silymarin

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is traditionally used in herbal practice, its main compound silymarin being naturally rich in flavonolignans. [1, 2].

🍵 Green tea leaf extract – 100 mg

Green tea leaf extract, Camellia sinensis

🧬 Betaine – 50 mg

Betaine

Betaine contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Its main job is methylation: it donates a methyl group that helps convert homocysteine back into methionine, which is why it shows up in the homocysteine research. [13, 14]

🧪 N-acetyl-L-cysteine – 50 mg

N-acetyl-L-cysteine

N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, traditionally associated with the body's antioxidant balance. [15, 16]

Frequently asked questions

Are the doses shown per capsule or per day?

The doses listed above correspond to the full daily intake of 2 capsules, as recommended on the label.

Why are most claims presented as traditional use rather than proven effects?

Under the GB Nutrition and Health Claims Register, only a small number of ingredient-effect pairs currently hold an authorised health claim. Betaine is the only ingredient in Hepaliv with such a claim, and only above a higher daily intake than provided here. All other ingredients are included on the basis of their history in traditional herbal practice.
