Feel Lighter, Clearer, More Like Yourself
Built to support the heavy-after-meals feeling, everyday energy, and your liver’s own antioxidant defenses — the three things people actually notice.
Milk thistle, artichoke and dandelion are all recognised by Europe’s herbal medicines committee for supporting liver function and easing the heavy, bloated feeling after meals. Habba Liver Complex puts all three in one dropper — alongside NAC, choline and glutathione.
Milk thistle seed — the most-researched botanical in liver science — as a 330 mg 10:1 extract, the equivalent of 3,300 mg of raw seed.
NAC and L-glutathione feed the antioxidant system your liver leans on every day, so it isn’t running the shift short-handed.
Choline, dandelion root and artichoke leaf support the routes your liver uses to process fat and move what it filters.
A liquid dropper instead of a handful of capsules — flexible dosing, nothing to swallow, thirty seconds and done.
Most supplements tell you what’s in the bottle. Almost none tell you what your liver actually does with it. So here’s the biology — the four jobs your liver runs every day, where each one falls behind, and what the research says about supporting it.
Detox Runs In Two Phases — And The Second One Is Where People Fall Behind
Your liver clears compounds in two steps. Phase I uses cytochrome P450 enzymes to break things apart — and the fragments it produces are frequently more reactive than whatever you started with. Phase II then neutralises those fragments by binding them to a carrier molecule so they can be safely shipped out. Glutathione conjugation is one of the three main Phase II routes. When Phase I runs hot and Phase II can’t keep pace, reactive intermediates hang around. Which is why the useful question isn’t “how do I detox” — it’s “is my Phase II keeping up.”
Glutathione Is The Workhorse — And Cysteine Is What Limits It
Your liver carries glutathione at 5–10 millimolar, among the highest concentrations of any tissue in the body. It builds it from three amino acids. As Shelly Lu’s 2009 review in Molecular Aspects of Medicine lays out, exactly two things determine how much gets made: the activity of one rate-limiting enzyme, and the availability of cysteine. Cysteine is the scarce one. That is the entire reason NAC exists as a supplement — it’s a cysteine donor, feeding the step that actually constrains the system.
Fat Can’t Leave Your Liver Without A Wrapper — And Choline Is The Wrapper
Your liver doesn’t burn every fat it handles; it exports most of it, packaged into VLDL particles. The outer shell of that particle is phosphatidylcholine, which your body builds from choline. Li and Vance showed in the Journal of Lipid Research that when hepatic phosphatidylcholine drops, VLDL secretion is impaired and fat accumulates in the liver instead. This has been known since 1932, when Best and Huntsman produced fatty liver in animals by doing nothing but removing choline from the diet. It’s also why the Institute of Medicine set choline’s intake recommendation on the criterion of preventing liver damage.
Whatever Your Liver Clears Still Has To Leave The Building — That’s Bile
Once Phase II has neutralised something, it doesn’t simply vanish. Conjugated compounds carry a charge and can’t drift back across membranes, so they have to be actively transported into bile, which carries them into the gut and out. Bile is also how you digest fat — which is why a liver running behind and that heavy, bloated feeling after a big meal so often turn up together. Europe’s herbal medicines committee recognises artichoke leaf for “dyspepsia with a sensation of fullness, bloating and flatulence,” and dandelion root for “mild digestive disorders… and slow digestion.”
Six ingredients. Thirty studies. Every source linked — open any one and read the abstract yourself.
Thirty human studies. More than 2,500 patients. Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials published in Annals of Hepatology, Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Phytotherapy Research and BMC Gastroenterology — the journals hepatologists actually read.
And three of our six ingredients go further than “studied.” Milk thistle, artichoke and dandelion each carry a formal monograph from the European Medicines Agency, the body that regulates medicines across the European Union. Milk thistle seed is recognised there, in writing, to support the liver function.
Almost nothing on a supplement shelf can say that. Most brands ask you to trust a label. We’d rather hand you the citations.
Silymarin is the most-studied botanical in liver research, and the evidence is not thin. A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis in Annals of Hepatology pooled 26 randomised controlled trials covering 2,375 patients. Silymarin significantly reduced ALT and AST versus control, and improved hepatic steatosis on imaging (odds ratio 3.25).
In a 48-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial run at a teaching hospital in Kuala Lumpur and published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 22.4% of patients on silymarin improved their liver fibrosis score by at least one point, against 6.0% on placebo (p = 0.023). Adverse events were no different from placebo.
Europe’s Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products formally recognises milk thistle seed “to support the liver function” (monograph EMA/HMPC/294187/2013).

Your liver’s daily defense runs on glutathione. As Yuan and Kaplowitz describe it in Molecular Aspects of Medicine, glutathione is a major antioxidant that guards cells by scavenging reactive oxygen and nitrogen species — and its depletion is a recurring feature across liver injury.
Cysteine is the rate-limiting building block your body needs to make glutathione, and NAC is a cysteine donor. In a randomised trial published in Hepatitis Monthly, three months of NAC significantly lowered serum ALT in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, compared with vitamin C (p = 0.014).

Choline’s link to the liver isn’t a marketing angle — it’s how the recommendation was written. When the US Institute of Medicine set choline’s Adequate Intake at 550 mg a day for men and 425 mg for women, the criterion it used was the prevention of liver damage, assessed by measuring serum ALT.
Corbin and Zeisel, writing in Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, put it plainly: “Hepatosteatosis and liver cell death occur when humans are deprived of choline.”
And most people don’t get there. An analysis of 16,809 participants in the NHANES national survey found only 10.8% of Americans aged two and over reach the Adequate Intake — and among adults, just 6.6%.

Dandelion has been used as a digestive bitter for centuries, and that history is formally recognised: Europe’s Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products lists dandelion root as a traditional herbal medicinal product “for the relief of symptoms related to mild digestive disorders (such as feeling of abdominal fullness, flatulence, and slow digestion) and temporary loss of appetite” (monograph EMA/HMPC/212895/2008).
A 2025 review in Pharmaceuticals found dandelion’s hepatoprotective effects well demonstrated across laboratory and animal models — protecting against liver damage from alcohol, carbon tetrachloride and paracetamol — with the authors noting that large human trials are still to come. It earns its place here on regulator-recognised digestive use and a deep preclinical record.

In a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial of 100 adults with ultrasound-diagnosed fatty liver, published in Phytotherapy Research in 2018, two months of artichoke leaf extract lowered ALT, AST, total bilirubin and APRI score against placebo, with improvements visible on liver ultrasound. No side effects were reported in either group.
The EMA recognises artichoke leaf for “the symptomatic relief of digestive disorders such as dyspepsia with a sensation of fullness, bloating and flatulence” (monograph EMA/HMPC/194014/2017). Its active, cynarin, is a bitter compound traditionally associated with bile flow — which is why it pairs with dandelion here.

Glutathione is the antioxidant tripeptide your liver stores in higher concentration than any other tissue — the molecule it spends to neutralise what it processes.
In an open-label, multicentre pilot study published in BMC Gastroenterology, 29 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease took oral glutathione for four months. Mean ALT fell from 68.9 to 58.1 IU/L (p = 0.014), alongside reductions in triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids and ferritin.
We include it directly, next to NAC — one supplies the finished molecule, the other supplies what your body builds it from.

Take 2 full droppers once daily, straight or in water. No pills to swallow, no timing rules. This first week is about building the routine — most people find morning with breakfast is easiest to stick to.
Your body now has a steady daily supply of milk thistle, NAC, choline, dandelion, artichoke, and glutathione. Botanicals like these work best with consistent daily intake, not occasional use. Keep the bottle somewhere you'll see it.
Supplements work alongside your habits, not instead of them. Pair Liver Restore with the fundamentals — water, sleep, fewer late nights, moving your body. This is where the routine starts feeling automatic.
Liver support is a long game. Most customers on our subscription plan are here for the consistency — one bottle arriving each month so you never have a gap. Check in with your doctor about bloodwork if you want to track how you're doing.
Straight answers on dosing, timing, safety, and what this formula will and won’t do.
Two full droppers (2 ml) daily, ideally with food. Hold under the tongue for about thirty seconds, then swallow. Each bottle is a 30-day supply. Consistency matters more than timing — pick a moment in your routine and stick to it.
Some people notice easier mornings and lighter digestion in the first couple of weeks. The published trials on these ingredients typically run 8 weeks to 12 months, so give it a consistent 8–12 weeks before you judge it. That’s also why the guarantee runs 60 days rather than 14.
Yes — this is a daily supplement, not a rulebook. Plenty of our customers take it precisely because they still want a glass of wine with dinner. To be clear about what it is and isn’t: it supports your liver’s everyday function. It doesn’t undo heavy drinking, and nothing sold in a dropper does.
Because the biggest reason supplements stop working is that people stop taking them. Liquid means no horse-pill to swallow, no capsule shell, and you can dial the dose drop by drop if you’re sensitive to something new. Two droppers takes about thirty seconds.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist first. Milk thistle (silymarin) can interact with medications processed by the liver’s cytochrome P450 enzymes, and NAC can interact with nitroglycerin. That’s not a reason to avoid it — it’s a reason to have a thirty-second conversation with someone who knows your prescriptions.
Skip it if you have gallstones or a bile-duct obstruction — milk thistle, artichoke and dandelion are all contraindicated there. Skip it too if you’re allergic to plants in the daisy family (ragweed, marigold, chamomile, echinacea), since all three belong to it. If you have an existing liver condition, are pregnant or nursing, or are under 18, check with your doctor first.
These ingredients are generally well tolerated. A small number of people notice mild digestive changes in the first few days — taking it with food usually settles that. The formula is gluten-free and non-GMO, with no artificial colours or sweeteners.
