Liver Defense Herbal Tonic is a thoughtfully formulated supplement designed to help maintain and protect one of your pet’s most vital organs: the liver. The liver not only filters and neutralizes toxins from the bloodstream, but also plays a central role in digestion, fat metabolism, and nutrient processing. Over time, in response to medication, environmental exposure, or age, the liver can become overburdened and less efficient—compromising your pet’s overall health.
Our formula features two powerhouse herbs: organic milk thistle seed and dandelion root. Both herbs are rich in antioxidants, which neutralize harmful free radicals to protect the liver cells. Milk thistle, rich in silymarin, can support the repair and regeneration of damaged liver cells. Dandelion root complements this action by stimulating bile flow, supporting fat digestion and the excretion of waste. Together, these herbs help sustain healthy liver enzyme activity, promote detoxification, and support healthy digestion and metabolism.
Ideal for daily use in pets with ongoing liver concerns, pets on long-term medications, seniors, or any animal that could benefit from gentle but effective liver support.
Animal Essentials’ Liver Defense stands apart with its simple, clean formulation of organic, whole herbs traditionally used to support healthy liver and gallbladder function. Made without fillers, preservatives, or unnecessary additives, each ingredient is selected for its role in promoting natural detoxification, metabolic balance, and promoting healthy liver function. Whether your pet needs long-term liver support or help recovering from toxin exposure, Liver Defense delivers herbal care with clarity and intention.
