Feeding the Liver vs Supporting Detox: The Missing Piece in Liver & Hormone Health

January 30, 20262 min read

If you’ve learned that beef liver helps feed the liver, the next question is obvious:

What actually supports detox?

This is where many people get stuck — and where frustration often begins.

Nutrients alone don’t complete detox. Your liver also needs functional support to safely process, protect, and eliminate toxins and hormones.


Feeding the liver vs supporting detox

Think of it this way:

  • Beef liver provides raw materials

  • Detox support helps the liver do its job

For detox to work well, the liver relies on:

  • Phase I & II enzyme activity

  • Adequate bile production and flow

  • Antioxidant protection

  • Gut support to finish elimination

This is where targeted support can make a meaningful difference.

RevitaZen+™ Complex

Detox pathways, bile flow & antioxidant support

RevitaZen+ supports the liver, kidneys, and colon using clinically studied botanicals.

Key ingredients and what they do:

  • Milk thistle (silybin)
    Supports glutathione production and liver cell protection

  • Artichoke leaf extract (cynarin)
    Supports bile production and flow — critical for hormone and toxin elimination

  • Black cumin seed oil (thymoquinone)
    Provides antioxidant support and helps balance inflammation during detox

VMG+®

Methylated B vitamins for detox & hormone metabolism

VMG+ pairs beautifully with beef liver — or works as an alternative for those who don’t tolerate organ meats.

Why it matters:

  • Provides methylated B vitamins (B6, methyl-B12, methylfolate)

  • Supports methylation, a key pathway for estrogen clearance

  • Supports energy during detox

Beef liver contains B vitamins naturally, but VMG+ offers:

  • Consistent dosing

  • Active forms

  • No excess vitamin A or iron

EO Mega+®

Liver protection during detox

Detox creates oxidative stress. EO Mega+ helps protect liver cells while detox pathways are active.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Support for liver cell membranes

  • Support for metabolic health

PB Restore® + PB Assist+®

Completing detox through the gut

Detox isn’t complete unless toxins and hormones leave the body.

These products support:

  • Healthy gut bacteria

  • Proper bile recycling

  • Reduced estrogen reabsorption

    pr restore - pro, pro,postbiotic with bacteriophages


Putting it all together: complete liver support

  • Beef liver → nutrient foundation

  • VMG+ → methylation & hormone clearance

  • RevitaZen+ → detox pathways & bile flow

  • EO Mega+ → liver protection

  • PB Restore → elimination

They don’t compete — they complete each other.

Supporting the liver works best when done:

  • In the right order

  • With hormone awareness

  • With time for the body to adapt

Jumping into detox without preparation can backfire — especially for women.

That’s why structured approaches, like a 90-Day Reset, focus on:

  • Foundational nutrition first

  • Gentle daily detox

  • Hormone-aware nutrition

  • Gut and liver support together

If you’re not sure what level of support you need, the best starting point is still clarity.

👉 Begin with the hormone assessment if you think it is hormone-related or the detox assessment.
