Five of Ayurveda's liver herbs, and nothing else, in one tablet.

1000 Tab: ₹500

Livocure Tablet is an all-herbal liver formula built around Sarpunkha, the herb Ayurveda calls Pleehari, with Bhringraj and Kalmegh, two classic liver bitters, plus Haritaki and Tulsi. It contains no minerals or bhasmas.

The pack describes it for liver disorders such as an enlarged liver (Yakrit-vriddhi), Pandu and Kamala.

Used for

• Sluggish liver (Yakrit-dourbalya)
• Enlarged liver (Yakrit-vriddhi) — traditional use
• Jaundice (Kamala) — traditional use
• Weak digestion & poor appetite

Why the liver struggles

The liver processes nearly everything we eat, drink and take. Fatty change, alcohol, infections and some medicines inflame liver cells and slow the flow of bile; appetite and digestion weaken, and the liver can swell.

In Ayurveda, the liver (Yakrit) is the seat of Ranjaka Pitta and the root of Raktavaha srotas. When aggravated Pitta and Ama clog it, bile flow and digestion falter and conditions such as Kamala and Pandu follow. Bitter herbs (Tikta rasa) that cool Pitta and clear the channels are the classical answer.

Livocure works in 3 ways

• Hepatoprotective (Yakrit-Rakshaka) — Sarpunkha, Bhringraj and Kalmegh each protected liver cells from chemical and oxidative injury in animal studies; Kalmegh's andrographolide is the best studied of them.
• Choleretic & Digestive (Pitta-Saraka & Deepana) — Kalmegh increased bile flow in animal studies, and bitter herbs whet a poor appetite. Haritaki keeps the bowels regular, Ayurveda's first step in clearing Ama.
• Antioxidant & Rejuvenative (Rasayana) — Haritaki's tannins and Tulsi are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; in a review of human studies Tulsi had favourable effects on metabolism and stress.

Key ingredients

• Sarpunkha (Tephrosia purpurea, whole plant) — 120 mg. Traditionally used for an enlarged liver and spleen and in Ayurvedic liver preparations. Its flavonoids (quercetin, rutin) and triterpenoids are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and its extract lessened arsenic-induced liver damage in rats.
• Bhringraj (Eclipta alba, whole plant) — 60 mg. Best known for hair, Bhringraj is also a classic liver herb (Yakrituttejaka). Its coumestans, such as wedelolactone, are hepatoprotective in experimental models, and in an early study its alcoholic extract protected against chemical (CCl₄) liver damage.
• Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata, whole plant) — 30 mg. The 'king of bitters'. Its diterpene andrographolide protects liver cells by curbing oxidative stress and inflammation (NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways) and increased bile flow in animal studies — more potently than silymarin. Ayurveda uses it for Kamala and poor appetite.
• Haritaki (Harad) (Terminalia chebula, fruit) — 30 mg. The first of the Triphala fruits and Ayurveda's classic Anulomana: it keeps the bowels regular. Its tannins (chebulagic and chebulinic acids) are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective in laboratory studies.
• Tulsi (Holy basil) (Ocimum sanctum, whole plant) — 30 mg. Holy basil is used for cough, cold and fever (Kasa, Pratishyaya, Jwara). A systematic review of 24 human studies found favourable effects on immunity, metabolic markers and stress, with no significant adverse events reported.
