What are liver supper supplements? Is there any research on this?

I found popular ones on Amazon.

I tried it because of doing research on my high numbers for Epstein-Barr (aka mono). I found via NIH papers that liver issues are common with mono patients so I figured I could be having that since there were no other obvious blood results.

I had Covid beforehand and when I had extreme fatigue I had the mono tests done. The EBV numbers were off the charts and then I found some NIH paper talking about how it’s thought Covid can reactivate EBV.

My biometrics jumped almost immediately up on my Garmin and stayed there. It was a life changer.

It's funny you mention that—I had Mono over a decade ago and it was a long ordeal for me. Multiple weeks of fatigue and feeling like crap. Mono was way worse than Covid in my instance—but they felt very similar.

What is the active ingredient of that supplement?

Liver Cleanse Detox & Repair Formula - Herbal Liver Support Supplement with Milk Thistle Dandelion Root Organic Turmeric and Artichoke Extract for Liver Health - Silymarin Milk Thistle Detox Capsules https://a.co/d/i9QCiCV

> Pure zinc oxide - Choline -Silymarin Milk Thistle Extract - Beet powder - Artichoke Extract - Chanca Piedra Extract - Dandelion root extract

I imagine it's a typo and probably should say:

liver support supplements

Whoops. Thanks!
