Product Basics
"Healthy Liver" is a specialized probiotic shot designed to support your liver during alcohol consumption. It is a 2 oz drinkable supplement that combines high-potency probiotics (60 Billion CFU) with liver-supporting herbs like Milk Thistle and DHM. Think of it as an "armor" for your gut and liver that you take before a night out.
Our formula is simple but powerful.
Probiotics (60 Billion CFU): To break down alcohol byproducts in the gut.
Milk Thistle: To support liver cell regeneration.
DHM (Dihydromyricetin): To help metabolize toxins faster.
Vitamin B3 & Electrolytes: To restore energy and hydration.
Organic Cane Sugar: A small amount (3.6g) to feed the live bacteria so they stay active.

DHM (Dihydromyricetin): To help metabolize toxins faster.

Organic Cane Sugar: A small amount (3.6g) to feed the live bacteria so they stay active.
It has a refreshing, herbal taste with a hint of natural sweetness. Because it is a functional shot packed with herbs and live cultures, it has an "earthy" kick—similar to a strong green juice or a wellness shot you’d find at a juice bar. It is designed to be drunk quickly in one go.
No. Unlike energy drinks that rely on caffeine or synthetic stimulants, "Healthy Liver" is caffeine-free. It supports your natural energy levels using Vitamin B3 and liver support, so you can take it at night without ruining your sleep.
Each 2 oz bottle contains approximately 15 calories, coming mostly from the small amount of organic cane sugar used to keep the probiotics alive.
Yes. Our bottles are made from PET plastic, which is durable, lightweight, and widely recyclable. We chose PET to ensure the product arrives safely without breaking during shipping while keeping the carbon footprint lower than heavy glass. Please rinse and recycle the bottle after your shot.
"Healthy Liver" arrives shelf-stable, so it does not need to be refrigerated immediately upon delivery. However, because it contains live active bacteria, we highly recommend storing it in the fridge if you aren't going to drink it right away. Once opened, you must refrigerate it and consume it within 48 hours.
Because we use fresh, live ingredients without heavy industrial preservatives, "Healthy Liver" has a shelf life of 6 weeks from the date of manufacture. We create our batches fresh to ensure you get the highest count of active live cultures possible.
Yes, "Healthy Liver" is both Vegan and Gluten-Free. We explicitly label our product as a "Veggie Shot" because it contains no animal byproducts. All our ingredients—from the probiotics and organic cane sugar to the herbs like Milk Thistle—are naturally free of gluten and animal derivatives.
No. We understand the importance of safety for those with allergies. "Healthy Liver" is manufactured in a facility that is free from nuts, soy, and dairy, so there is no risk of cross-contamination with these common allergens.
Usage & Routine
"Healthy Liver" is primarily designed to be used when you drink alcohol.
However, because it contains Milk Thistle (known for liver cell regeneration), you may use it for a specific period to improve your liver health markers (such as ALT/AST levels). We do not recommend taking it daily forever.
Our founder, Samir, believes supplements should be functional tools—like a ladder to get you to better health, not a crutch you lean on permanently. Use it when you need it or to reach a health goal, then cycle off.

Yes. For the best protection against alcohol, take it before you start drinking. The live bacteria need to be present in your gut before the alcohol arrives to effectively break down the toxins.
We recommend taking "Healthy Liver" with a snack. While the shot is powerful on its own, having a small amount of food in your stomach helps buffer the absorption of alcohol and gives the probiotics a better environment to do their work.
You have options. You can drink it straight (recommended for the "cool factor" while out), or mix it into a non-alcoholic drink like juice, a smoothie, or water.
Important: Do not mix it directly into an alcoholic cocktail. Direct contact with high-proof alcohol in a glass can kill the live probiotics before they reach your stomach. Drink the shot first, then enjoy your cocktail.

Nothing to worry about—"Healthy Liver" is a natural tool, not a prescription medication.
If you forgot to take it while drinking: Taking it the next morning won't stop the hangover because your liver has already processed the alcohol. However, it is still beneficial to take it the next morning because the Milk Thistle will help regenerate the liver cells that were damaged during the night.
If you are on a "Liver Repair Cycle": simply resume the next day. There are no side effects from skipping a dose.

We recommend sticking to one bottle per day. Each shot contains a potent 60 Billion CFU dose of probiotics. Taking more won't necessarily make it work "better," but it might increase the chance of gas or bloating. One shot is plenty to get the job done.
It depends on your goal.
For Morning Freshness (Immediate): You will feel the difference after just one use. If you take "Healthy Liver" before drinking, you should wake up feeling significantly better, clearer, and more refreshed the next morning.
For Liver Health Stats (Long-Term): If you are taking it to support healthy liver enzyme levels (like ALT/AST), we recommend consistent use for 8 weeks combined with healthy lifestyle choices before re-testing.

Yes, "Healthy Liver" is specifically designed to support the livers of regular social drinkers. However, this product is not a license to abuse alcohol.
While it helps mitigate the biological damage, it cannot neutralize the social negatives of drinking. It does not prevent intoxication or poor judgment. If you feel you may have a dependency on alcohol, we strongly urge you to seek professional help rather than relying on supplements.

It is perfectly safe to take at either time, but the results will be different.
Best (Before Drinking): Taking it before you drink allows the probiotics to coat your gut and break down alcohol byproducts as they are created.
Good (After Drinking): Taking it the next morning acts as a "repair crew." It won't erase the hangover instantly, but the Milk Thistle and vitamins will help your liver recover faster from the stress.

We recommend cycling off. Our philosophy is that supplements should be used to achieve a goal, not to create a new dependency. Once you have used "Healthy Liver" to support your lifestyle or improve your liver markers (typically an 8-week cycle), we encourage you to take a break. You can always return to it during busy social seasons or holidays.
Science & Effectiveness
Most people think of probiotics just for digestion, but ours are different. "Healthy Liver" contains specific strains of bacteria that are capable of breaking down alcohol and its toxic byproduct (acetaldehyde) right in your gut. By neutralizing some of these toxins before they enter your bloodstream, we reduce the workload and stress on your liver, effectively acting as a "first line of defense."
Yes. Our formula is built on established science, not trends.
Milk Thistle is one of the most well-researched herbs for liver support and cell regeneration.
DHM (Dihydromyricetin) has been the subject of numerous studies for its ability to speed up alcohol metabolism.
Probiotics (like L. rhamnosus GG) have clinically documented benefits for gut barrier integrity and immune response. We simply combined these powerhouses into one shot.

A general probiotic is like a "multivitamin" for your stomach—good for general digestion. "Healthy Liver" is a specialist. While it does support digestion, its primary engineering is for alcohol defense. The strains were selected for their ability to survive in an alcohol-rich environment and metabolize toxins, which is something your standard daily yogurt or probiotic capsule is not designed to do.
"Healthy Liver" is a supplement designed to support overall liver function and fat metabolism. However, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, including Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). If you have a diagnosed medical condition, you must consult your doctor before adding this or any supplement to your routine.
No. "Healthy Liver" is a dietary supplement, not a prescription drug. It is designed to support a healthy lifestyle, not to replace medical treatment. If you are currently taking medication for a liver condition (or any other ailment), you must continue following your doctor’s instructions. Do not stop or alter your medication without professional medical advice.
We take safety and science seriously. Our medical guidance comes from Dr. John George, a practicing Gastroenterologist trained at Yale University. Additionally, our standards are maintained by Radha Iyer, our Regulatory & Compliance Advisor, who brings extensive experience from her time with industry leaders like Johnson & Johnson.
Yes, the specific strains we use are among the most studied in the world. We formulate "Healthy Liver" using established probiotic strains like L. rhamnosus GG and L. acidophilus, which have been the subject of thousands of clinical studies validating their safety and efficacy. We chose these specific strains because the science behind them is robust and proven.
Liquid probiotics can be delicate, so we use a method called "overage." We pack significantly more bacteria into the bottle at the time of manufacture than what is listed on the label. This ensures that even as some bacteria naturally decline over time, you are still guaranteed to get the full 60 Billion CFU potency right up until the expiration date.
Yes, the high-potency probiotics in "Healthy Liver" support overall gut health and digestion. However, because we use a powerful 60 Billion CFU dose, some users may experience temporary gas or bloating when they first start. Do not be alarmed—this is normal. It is a sign that the new, healthy bacteria are successfully colonizing your gut and "cleaning house." This usually subsides after a few uses.
No. Under US law, the FDA does not "approve" dietary supplements (that process is reserved for prescription drugs). However, "Healthy Liver" is manufactured in the USA under strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure safety, purity, and quality. We adhere to rigorous standards to ensure that what is on the label is exactly what is in the bottle.
Safety & Medical
"Healthy Liver" is made from natural ingredients and is generally well-tolerated. In extremely rare cases, users may experience temporary gas or bloating, which is actually a positive sign that the probiotics are active and working in your gut. This typically passes quickly. As with any supplement, individual sensitivities vary, so listen to your body.
Please consult your doctor first. While our ingredients are natural, pregnancy and breastfeeding are sensitive times for both you and your baby. Since this product contains potent herbs like Milk Thistle and DHM, we strongly recommend checking with your healthcare provider to ensure it is right for your specific situation.
While the ingredients (probiotics and vitamins) are generally safe, "Healthy Liver" is formulated specifically for adults (21+) to support liver health in the context of alcohol consumption. We do not recommend this product for children or teenagers.
Possibly. Ingredients like Milk Thistle and DHM are powerful and can affect how your liver processes certain medications. If you are taking prescription drugs, please consult your doctor before adding "Healthy Liver" to your routine to ensure there are no interactions.
Many people without a gallbladder take probiotics and liver support supplements to help with digestion. However, because ingredients like Milk Thistle can influence bile production, we recommend consulting your doctor first to ensure it fits your specific digestive needs.
It depends on your specific dietary restrictions. Each bottle of "Healthy Liver" contains 3.6 grams of Organic Cane Sugar. To put that in perspective, that is less sugar than you would find in half an apple. While this is a very low amount, if you are strictly monitoring your blood sugar or insulin levels, please factor this into your daily calculation or consult your physician.
No. "Healthy Liver" is 100% caffeine-free and contains no stimulants. We designed it this way intentionally so you can take it after a night out and still enjoy a restful, high-quality sleep—which is crucial for your recovery. Unlike energy drinks or "hangover cures" that pump you full of caffeine, our formula works with your body's natural rest cycle.
We refuse to cut corners. Our production starts with bottled water of the highest purity and incorporates premium, mostly organic ingredients. We manufacture in the USA following strict Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure every bottle meets our high standards for safety and potency.

Why is it more expensive than a regular soda or water?
"Healthy Liver" isn't a beverage; it's a high-tech functional supplement. You are paying for 60 Billion Live Probiotics (a higher count than most pharmacy supplements), premium Milk Thistle, DHM, and Vitamins, all stabilized in a liquid form. It costs us significantly more to make than a standard drink because we use high-grade, active ingredients that deliver real results.
