9 Liver Myths That Could Be Ruining Your Health (And What Really Works)
By Sabrina C.
Last Updated Sep 30, 2025
When I first went to see Dr. Josh, I thought I needed a liver cleanse.
I was bloated, tired, foggy, and fat around my belly, and social media had me convinced that my liver was clogged.
So I did all the things. I bought the teas. I tried the flushes. I drank the apple juice and olive oil. (I even pooped out these gross green blobs 🤢) But, none of it worked. In fact, I actually felt worse.
When I told Dr. Josh about it, he said: “Your liver is not dirty…it does not need a cleanse”
He examined me, looked over my bloodwork and what he explained next was a masterclass on liver health. It blew my mind and completely changed the way I think about my body.
I actually started taking notes on my phone while he talked, because everything he said made so much sense. Here are my notes:
SUMMARY: Common "liver flushes" could actually be doing more harm than good. Instead, you should be focusing on improving the quality and the flow of your bile. Here's what doctors, researchers, and your own liver wish you knew before trying another dangerous flush or "detox" scam.
UPDATE: Ultra Liver is a new doctor-formulated liver supplement that’s currently going viral in the US and Canada. That means it could sell out again at any time. SELL OUT RISK: HIGH
1. Your "Liver Flush" Isn't Flushing Anything
1. Your "Liver Flush" Isn't Flushing Anything
Those green "stones" people pass after drinking olive oil, fruit juice and Epsom salts? They're not gallstones. They were never in your liver. When you mix oil and fruit juice in the digestive system, it sets off a chemical reaction called “saponification” that creates soap stones that are actually made out of the olive oil and fruit juice you drank. These brutal cleanses stress your digestive system, dehydrate you, and can trigger dangerous gallbladder attacks.
2. You Don’t Have A “Clogged Liver”
2. You Don’t Have A “Clogged Liver”
The liver is a solid organ, not a tube or a pipe. There’s nothing inside it to “flush.” What really matters is the quality, consistency, and the flow of the bile that your liver makes. Bile is the liquid your body uses to digest fats and carry toxins out. When it gets thick like molasses, it clumps up and can’t do its job. Thick, sticky bile causes bloating, stubborn belly fat, low energy, and digestive problems. You need to restore bile quality from the inside out with the right nutrients, not shock your system with dangerous flushes.
3. No Gallbaldder? Your Liver Is Working Overtime…
3. No Gallbaldder? Your Liver Is Working Overtime…
When the gallbladder is surgically removed (cholecystectomy)...your liver still makes bile but has nowhere to store it. So, after cholecystectyomy bile drips constantly into your gut even when you're not eating. And when you DO eat, there's often not enough bile ready to break down fats properly. The result? Worse bloating, poor fat breakdown, and constant digestive distress.
4. Detox Teas Don't Help
4. Detox Teas Don't Help
Most “detox” teas are laxatives. They will make you poop, but they don't fix a bile quality problem. They make it worse. In fact, many detox products deplete the specific nutrients that the liver needs to produce healthy bile. You feel "cleaned out" for a day, then the sticky bile problem gets even worse. Your liver doesn't need a flush, it needs support.

5. Sugar Cravings? Afternoon Crashes? Trapped Fat? That's Your Liver Too
5. Sugar Cravings? Afternoon Crashes? Trapped Fat? That's Your Liver Too
When bile flow slows, your liver can’t break down fats as well. That makes it harder for your body to use fat for energy. Instead, more of it ends up stored…especially around your belly, hips, and thighs. Toxins that should be flushed out start floating through your blood, causing brain fog, exhaustion, and intense sugar cravings. It's not a diet problem, it's a bile flow problem. Fix the bile, release the trapped fat . Fix the bile, fix the energy crashes. It all starts with restoring healthy bile quality and flow.
6. NAC Is A Liver Nutrient
6. NAC Is A Liver Nutrient
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) boosts glutathione levels so powerfully that it can rapidly detoxify the liver and save someone's life if they’ve been poisoned. It’s used in the ER very day. And if those trendy liver flushes actually worked, hospitals would use THOSE instead. But they don't. They use NAC because its scientifically proven to detox the liver.
7. TMG + Taurine: The "Bile Thinner" Combo Almost Nobody Knows About
7. TMG + Taurine: The "Bile Thinner" Combo Almost Nobody Knows About
TMG (Trimethylglycine) keeps bile thin and flowing smoothly. Taurine helps your liver produce healthy bile acids and move them where they need to go. Together, they're a one-two punch for restoring bile quality. When bile flows properly again, digestion smooths out. Bloating disappears. Sugar cravings drop. And trapped fat finally gets released.
8. "Proprietary Liver Detox Blends" Are A Red Flag!
8. "Proprietary Liver Detox Blends" Are A Red Flag!
See "proprietary blend" on a liver supplement? That's code for "we're hiding something." Companies use mystery blends so they don't have to tell you the actual amounts of each ingredient. Which usually means you're getting tiny, worthless doses buried in cheap filler herbs. Real liver support requires specific nutrients in clinically researched doses, not marketing tricks.
9. Your Liver Is The Only Organ That Can Regenerate Itself. The Right Nutrients Speed It Up!
9. Your Liver Is The Only Organ That Can Regenerate Itself. The Right Nutrients Speed It Up!
Your liver is incredibly resilient. It’s the only organ in your body that can actually regrow when part of it’s removed. But to do that, it needs the right nutritional support. Instead of shocking your system with dangerous cleanses, give your liver the building blocks it's begging for: NAC, TMG, Taurine, Milk Thistle, and Artichoke at therapeutic doses.

Meet The Doctor Busting The Dangerous Myths About Liver Flushes
His name is Dr. Joshua Levitt.
Dr. Josh is a board-certified naturopathic physician who owns and runs one of the most respected holistic medicine practices in New England with his wife, Amanda.
His education and training in integrative medicine have earned him the trust of physicians in every specialty…many of whom he calls friends.
But Dr. Josh got fed up watching patient after patient fall for dangerous liver flush scams online.
He watched people drink bath salts. He treated people who ended up in emergency rooms after "cleanses" triggered gallbladder attacks. He saw countless patients waste their hard earned money on detox teas and other “solutions” that made their problems worse.
So he decided to do something about it.
Instead of pushing harsh cleanses, Dr. Josh developed a completely different approach: "No-Tox" Nutrient Therapy.
Rather than shocking your system with dangerous flushes, you simply give your liver the specific nutrients it needs to restore healthy bile quality and flow naturally.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many capsules do I take per day, and when should I take them?
Take two capsules with breakfast every morning. It's best to take Ultra Liver with food, especially a meal containing some fat, because this signals your liver to release bile which is exactly when these nutrients can work most effectively. Don't take them on an empty stomach. Consistency matters more than anything else, so make it part of your morning routine.
Can I take Ultra Liver with my other supplements or medications?
Ultra Liver is generally safe to take with most supplements. However, if you're on prescription medications, especially blood thinners, diabetes medications, blood pressure meds, or thyroid hormones, consult your doctor first. NAC can interact with certain medications, and Berberine affects blood sugar metabolism. Never assume supplements are safe just because they're "natural." Always check with your healthcare provider if you're on any prescription drugs.
I've had my gallbladder removed. Will Ultra Liver help me, or is it too late?
Ultra Liver may be especially important for you. After gallbladder removal, your liver works overtime trying to manage bile flow without a storage reservoir. Bile drips constantly into your digestive tract instead of being released in controlled bursts when you eat. This makes bile even thicker and more sluggish over time, causing worse bloating, fat storage, and digestive distress. Ultra Liver provides the exact nutrients (TMG, Taurine, NAC) your liver needs to keep bile thin and flowing properly post-surgery. Many people with gallbladder removal report this is the first thing that's actually helped their digestion feel normal again.
I'm eating clean and exercising, but I can't lose weight—especially around my belly. Could my liver be the problem?
Yes, and here's why: When bile is thick like sludge, you don’t process fats as efficiently. This results in metabolic and hormonal changes that increase fat storage, especialy around your belly, hips, and thighs. Poor quality bile also slows toxin clearance, which disrupts hormones that control appetite and fat storage. Fix the bile, fix the fat storage. That's why people often notice stubborn weight finally coming off after 60-90 days of consistent bile support.
Can I take more than 2 capsules per day for faster results?
For most people, 2 capsules per day is plenty. But some like to start with a short “loading phase” to kickstart results. Taking 2 capsules twice daily (morning and evening with food) for the first 2–3 weeks can help saturate your system with key nutrients before returning to the standard 2-capsule daily dose. Always listen to your body, and if you have any medical conditions or take prescription medications, check with your healthcare provider before increasing your dose.
Does Ultra Liver contain any animal products?
No. Ultra Liver contains no animal ingredients and is in a plant-based veggie capsule.
Does Ultra Liver need to be refrigerated?
No. But it is really important to keep Ultra Liver in it’s original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not move your capsules into a pill box or other container. There are ingredients in Ultra Liver that are very sensitive to moisture so plase keep in the original container with the desiccant inside and keep the bottle tightly closed.
I'm pregnant or breastfeeding. Can I take Ultra Liver?
Do NOT take Ultra Liver if you're pregnant or breastfeeding without your doctor's explicit approval. While the ingredients are generally considered safe, pregnancy and breastfeeding create unique nutritional needs and considerations. Some ingredients like NAC and Berberine require medical supervision during pregnancy. Always consult your OB-GYN or midwife before taking any supplements during pregnancy or while nursing.
Will Ultra Liver make me go to the bathroom more often or cause diarrhea?
Unlikely. Most people actually notice improvements in comfort and consistency of their bowel movements with Ultra Liver. Occasionally, people report mild, temporary loose stool in the first few days of using Ultra Liver, which generally resolves within a few days. If diarrhea is significant or persists beyond a week, reduce or discontinue taking Ultra Liver until it resolves.
I have a sensitive stomach. Will Ultra Liver upset my digestion?
Ultra Liver is designed to improve digestion, not upset it. However, if you have a very sensitive stomach, start with 1 capsule per day for the first week, then increase to 2 capsules once your body adjusts. Always take it with food and never on an empty stomach. NAC can occasionally cause mild nausea in sensitive individuals if taken without food, but this is rare and easily avoided by following directions.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Ultra Liver?
You can. Ultra Liver was formulated to help your liver process and clear toxins more efficiently… including alcohol. Taking it while drinking (or after) will give your liver extra support when it needs it most. That said, alcohol itself is not good for your liver. You can think of it like pouring gas on a fire you’re trying to put out. So while the best way to protect your liver is to keep your drinking to a minimum…Ultra Liver can help your body recover and maintain healthy bile even if you enjoy an occasional drink.
How is Ultra Liver different from milk thistle supplements I can buy at the drugstore?
How is Ultra Liver different from milk thistle supplements I can buy at the drugstore?
What exactly is in each capsule? Can I see a full ingredient list?
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
Ultra Liver is made from natural ingredients and is generally well-tolerated. However, some people may experience:
Mild digestive changes in the first few days (usually temporary)
Slightly looser stools as bile flow improves (resolves quickly)
Serious side effects are extremely rare. If you experience severe stomach pain, allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), or any concerning symptoms, stop taking Ultra Liver immediately and contact your doctor. Some people who are allergic to plants in the ragweed family might also be allergic to milk thistle.
