"Every year when the festive season rolls around, the calendar quickly fills up with WhatsApp group drinks, family dinners, and work parties. Throughout the Christmas period we are encouraged to eat, drink and be merry, and it seems to start earlier each year. While letting our hair down and making memories with loved ones can be wonderful, all the alcohol and rich food can take its toll on our bodies - especially the liver."
"'Tis the season of over-indulgence and a hard time for the liver. Is there any evidence for the many supplements that claim to help? And what does work? As we prepare for the party season, experts share their top tips for protecting your liver."
During the festive season social calendars fill with group drinks, family dinners and work parties, encouraging more eating and drinking. The trend toward earlier and more frequent celebrations increases exposure to alcohol and rich food.

Numerous supplements claim to support liver function, but robust evidence for many such products is lacking. Practical protective measures can reduce liver stress during the party season. Specific tips focus on moderating alcohol, choosing less rich foods, staying hydrated, and allowing recovery time between heavy indulgences.
