Nature’s Sunshine LIV-J, stock number 1011, is being discontinued. If it’s your usual liver-support supplement, Nature’s Sunshine recommends Liver Cleanse Formula, stock number 1010, as the replacement.
The reason for the change goes beyond choosing another liver formula. According to the Nature's Sunshine, Liver Cleanse Formula builds on LIV-J’s herbal approach while extending support to bile flow, fat digestion, and normal elimination.
Why Liver Cleanse Formula?
Nature’s Sunshine describes LIV-J as focusing mainly on herbs traditionally used to support liver activity and bile movement. Liver Cleanse Formula keeps that general approach but brings more of the digestive process into the picture.
That connection matters because the liver, gallbladder, and intestines work together. The liver makes bile, the gallbladder stores and releases it, and bile helps your body digest fats. The manufacturer recommends Liver Cleanse Formula as a broader blend that supports these connected functions rather than concentrating mainly on the liver.
What’s in the replacement?
Liver Cleanse Formula includes red beet root, dandelion, parsley, yellow dock, blessed thistle, chamomile, and other herbs traditionally used for liver and digestive support.
It’s a different blend from LIV-J, so don’t assume the ingredients or serving directions are the same. The recommendation is based on their related uses, not on the formulas being identical.
What should I know before switching?
Follow the directions on your new bottle. Nature’s Sunshine’s current directions for Liver Cleanse Formula are one capsule with a meal three times daily.
If you used LIV-J on a healthcare professional’s recommendation, check with them before changing formulas. This is especially important if you have a liver or gallbladder condition or take medication.
