Fatty Liver? How to Pamper Your Metabolic Engine Naturally

← Back to the blog

What Is Happening Exactly?

Fatty liver (or hepatic steatosis) occurs when an excess of fat accumulates in liver cells. This can cause mild inflammation that prevents it from filtering toxins correctly. It's like a car filter getting clogged with dust: the car still runs, but it doesn't run smoothly.

How Can We Help It? The Power of Nutritional Therapy

At the pharmacy we work with high-quality laboratories that offer specific solutions for each phase of liver health:

The Nutergia Option: Protection and Detox

• Ergyepur: Ideal if you're looking for a deep cleanse. It combines milk thistle and artichoke with marine trace elements to protect cells from oxidative damage and facilitate detoxification.
• Ergytaurina Detox: If your liver is highly overloaded (due to medications or pollution), this product helps optimise the most complex toxin elimination pathways.

The Therascience Option: Dynamic Support

• Physiomance Hepatoboost: A blend of plants such as desmodium and rosemary that acts as a genuine "accelerator" of hepatobiliary drainage, helping to reduce inflammation and improve heavy digestion.

Diet: Your Best Medicine

For these supplements to take effect, we need to give our liver a "holiday" through our diet:

• More colours on your plate: Bitter-tasting vegetables (endive, chicory, artichokes) help produce more bile.
• Healthy fats: Prioritise extra virgin olive oil and avocado, eliminating saturated fats and pastries.
• Say goodbye to sugar: White sugar is the fuel of fatty liver; try replacing it with natural alternatives or reducing consumption.
• Smart hydration: Drinking lemon water or dandelion infusions helps the natural purification process.

Our Pharmaceutical Advice

Every person is different. If you'd like to know whether an Ergyepur treatment is better for you or if you prefer the support of Hepatoboost, come and see us. We'll analyse your case to help you recover your energy and get your liver shining again!

Why Is It Vital to Reduce Inflammation and Eliminate Toxins?

The liver is the central laboratory of your body. When it's inflamed (fatty), it can't perform its more than 500 vital functions. Reducing inflammation isn't just a matter of aesthetics or digestion; it's about cleansing the blood.

When we eliminate accumulated toxins:

• Energy improves: A clean liver metabolises nutrients better, eliminating chronic fatigue.
• Defences are strengthened: 70% of the immune system depends on good metabolic function.
• Radiant skin: Many skin problems (acne, spots, itching) reflect a saturated liver that can't eliminate waste.

♂️ Liver Health in Men: The Danger of Abdominal Fat

In men, fatty liver is often associated with the accumulation of visceral fat (the classic "belly"). This fat is metabolically active and highly inflammatory.

• The risk: It can affect testosterone levels and increase cardiovascular risk.
• The solution: Products like Physiomance Hepatoboost from Therascience are ideal here for their direct action on fat drainage accumulated through carbohydrate-rich diets or alcohol consumption.

♀️ Liver Health in Women: The Role of Hormones

A woman's liver has an extra job: recycling hormones. If the liver is overwhelmed, it cannot eliminate excess oestrogen, which can cause menstrual irregularities, breast swelling or migraines.

The Key Point: Menopause

With the arrival of menopause, the risk of fatty liver multiplies. Why?

• Drop in oestrogen: Oestrogen protects the liver; when it disappears, the body tends to accumulate fat more easily in the hepatic area.
• Metabolic change: The metabolism slows down and processing sugars becomes harder.
• Specific support: At this stage, Ergyepur from Nutergia is a lifesaver, as it helps protect liver cells from this sudden hormonal change and makes it easier for the body to adapt without becoming inflamed.

Conclusion: An Act of Self-Care

Looking after your liver is the best investment you can make for healthy ageing. Whether you're a man concerned about your performance or a woman going through menopause, at the pharmacy we have the Nutritional Therapy solution that fits you.
