Phyllanthus amarus is an Indian herb that has been used for more than two thousand years by Ayurvedic practitioners in support of the liver. The active constituents contained in Phyllanthus have been shown to inhibit the surface antigens of some viruses. Milk thistle seeds (Silybum marianum) contains flavonoids that exhibit a hepatoprotective effect, as well as being involved in phase II liver detoxification by preventing the depletion of glutathione. Dandelion root (Leontodon taraxacum) has been used worldwide in the support of liver and gallbladder function. The body uses Dandelion root to increase the production of bile in the liver and in supporting its release from the gallbladder. Dandelion is believed to have originated in Central Asia where it was used as a liver "tonic".

In clinical practice, Phyllanthus Complex is used in liver detox programmes, to help protect the liver from the negative effects of alcohol and drugs and indeed diminish the side effects of a hangover.
