Overview

Liva Guard Forte contains several well-regarded ingredients for liver support and antioxidant defense, such as Silymarin, Coenzyme Q10, and a diverse range of carotenoids. While the inclusion of essential vitamins and minerals at reasonable doses (`Selenium`, `Zinc`, `Vitamin E`, `Vitamin D3`) adds to its overall health benefits, the efficacy of some key ingredients for liver specific benefits (e.g., Silymarin) is at the lower end of the clinically effective range based on the 'one softgel daily' recommendation. The lack of specific dosages for Milk Thistle Extract (Silymarin source) as a standardized extract, and for N-Acetyl Cysteine, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Dandelion Root, and Artichoke Extract, makes it difficult to ascertain their true contribution to the product's effectiveness. The high dose of Vitamin D3 and E are also noted.

The Good

Provides comprehensive antioxidant support.

Includes key liver-supportive ingredient (Silymarin).

Contains essential vitamins and minerals at generally good doses.

The Bad

Dosages for some key liver-supporting ingredients are not explicitly disclosed, possibly indicating underdosing.

Very high doses of Vitamin D3 (5000 IU) and Vitamin E (1100% DV), which could lead to accumulation over time or interaction with pre-existing conditions/medications.

High dose of Lycopene (85mg) is above commonly studied efficacious range, though side effects are rare.
