"Dose's hero ingredient is curcumin (the main active compound in turmeric), which research shows may support liver function by reducing ALT, one of the enzymes that's used as a marker for liver health, says registered dietitian Jessica Brantley-Lopez. Milk thistle, ginger, and dandelion round out the recipe. Milk thistle has been used by herbalists to treat liver disease since ancient times, but today there's not enough clinical research to prove its efficacy in this realm."
"However, the studies that do exist are encouraging: "There's evidence that milk thistle protects liver health through several possible mechanisms," such as acting as an antioxidant and lowering inflammation in the body, Brantley-Lopez says. Ginger, meanwhile, has shown promise in reducing certain liver enzymes and inflammatory markers in the body. "Liver enzymes are proteins responsible for the proper digestion of food, a healthy metabolism, and removal of toxins from the bloodstream," Brantley-Lopez says, adding that higher liver enzyme numbers point to inflammation and liver damage."
Dose is formulated with curcumin, milk thistle, ginger, and dandelion to support liver function, energy, and digestion. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, may reduce ALT, a marker used to assess liver health. Milk thistle has historical use for liver disease and limited clinical evidence suggests protective effects through antioxidant activity and reduced inflammation. Ginger has shown potential to lower certain liver enzymes and inflammatory markers. Preclinical research indicates dandelion has antioxidant properties. Elevated liver enzyme levels generally indicate inflammation or liver damage, and clinical evidence for herbal efficacy remains limited.
