Help if you go a little overboard at Christmas

IF the festive season means too much alcohol, too much rich food and not enough sleep, it's a good idea to give the long-suffering liver a treat. A.Vogel Milk Thistle Complex can help you face the New Year in better shape. If the liver can't cope, problems such as headaches, bloating, fatigue, constipation and nausea are likely to be the result. Milk Thistle Complex is a remedy to help an over-worked liver. It helps detoxify the liver, so quelling the more unpleasant effects of over-indulgence. To survive a big night out, ideally take Milk Thistle Complex before going out, on returning and again in the morning. It will still help if not taken until the morning after. The five herbs in Milk Thistle Complex are Globe Artichoke (Cynara), Milk Thistle and Dandelion, with support herbs Boldo and Peppermint. Milk Thistle Complex is also a tonic that can be taken as the New Year begins as it can help restore the liver to its proper function. The liver is the detoxification centre of the body and performs many vital functions. It converts food into useable energy units for the whole body.
