formulas are traditional springtime favorites. Burdock •
Red Clover Compound, LVR Cleanse and Milk Thistle Compound
make an excellent spring cleaning trio.
3 Easy Ways To Love Your Liver!

This formula contains herbs known as alteratives that support
healthy liver and skin function. It is a wonderful first step
formula for a well-rounded spring cleanse.
2. LVR Cleanse
A powerful blend for cleansing, this formula contains herbs
traditionally used to support liver function. LVR Cleanse
is a good follow-up to Burdock • Red Clover Compound
to enhance your cleansing experience
3. Milk Thistle Compound
Milk Thistle Compound is recommended as a final step after
using LVR Cleanse or any other cleansing program to maintain
health. It contains herbs that support liver function. Useful
