How can I protect my liver, and do I need liver-cleansing products?
Suitable nutrition, activity, a healthy weight and avoiding harmful alcohol, viral and chemical exposures support liver health. A healthy liver does not need cleansing products; some herbs and supplements can damage it. Tests and vaccines depend on health history and exposure risks.

Metabolic health needs a sustainable plan
Choose balanced meals, limit sugary drinks and discuss gradual weight reduction when appropriate. With diagnosed fatty liver disease, follow your assessment and monitoring plan even without obvious symptoms.
Consider medicines and infection
Avoid combining products with the same active ingredient or exceeding recommended doses, and disclose supplements. Discuss hepatitis B vaccination and appropriate testing. Do not share razors or needles, and choose medical or cosmetic procedures with reliable infection control.
When to seek assessment
Yellow eyes, dark urine with pale stool or abdominal swelling needs review. Vomiting blood, new confusion or severe deterioration requires emergency care. Do not delay assessment while trying a cleanse.
