Liver cleansing juice Ingredients Analysis
Beet
Beetroot is a rich source of a class of antioxidants known as betalains. According to research, beetroot may have a protective effect against oxidative damage to the liver [1].
The health benefits of beetroot don’t stop here. Other studies suggest that beetroot can help to reduce blood pressure, inflammation, and promote healthy circulation and blood flow [2].
Endurance Athletes: There is a growing number of evidence that beetroot juice may also improve performance. One study that had 9 competitive male cyclists consume beetroot juice, found that the juice enhance their performance [3].
Carrots
Perhaps one of the most known non-fruit juice that actually taste great on its own, carrot juice offers a strong nutritional profile shown by research to benefit the liver.
According to research, carrots are rich in Retinoic acid that may have a protective effect on the liver [4]. The data suggests that carrot juice can improve liver functions that may be benefit in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [5].
Celery
Celery is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. For this reason and due to its high availability, you can find celery in many body cleanse and detox recipes.
Specifically to the liver, the research data suggests that celery can regulate elevated liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase AST, alanine aminotransferase ALT, and alkaline phosphatase ALP) as well as blood lipids [6].
Ginger Root
Ginger has a long history of use as a natural remedy for digestive issues such as constipation, bloating, indigestion, nausea and vomiting. When you cleanse your liver, you want to make sure your digestion system works well so it can effectively eliminate any toxins released from the liver during the cleanse.
Specifically to liver, the research data suggests that ginger can improve liver enzymes profile and other nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characteristics [7].
Lemon
There are many reasons to include lemon or lime juice in your liver cleansing juice. The first reason, is that lemon juice can enhance the body’s overall ability to detox and cleanse. Naturally, safely and effectively.
As for the liver cleansing benefits of lemon juice, the research suggests that lemon juice can regulate elevated levels of serum ALT and AST liver enzymes as well as triacylglycerol and lipid peroxidation in the liver [8].
Spinach, Kale & Greens
According to research, the antioxidant activity of spinach may offer an effective way to improve liver function, and even decrease liver damage done by oxidative stress [9].
Kale (and in fact the entire Brassica vegetables) contain unique nutrients and phytochemicals that are suggested by the medical community to induce detoxification, stimulate the immune system and prevent oxidative stress. [10].
Juicing the brassica vegetables, however, may not taste so good in juices. Think about cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi…on a comical side, think about mustard greens… These options may taste much better when you eat them.
Out of the Brassica, kale offers a much better fit for the liver cleansing juice and blends well in this recipe.
If you are not a big fan of spinach or kale, you can use other leafy greens instead. The research data also supports the liver health promoting benefits of leafy greens in general. According to most findings, leafy greens can benefit liver health and modulate fatty acid composition in the liver [11].
Apples & Cloudy Apple Juice
Apples are well known for their many health benefits. Overall health, and more specifically, liver and gallbladder health.
The research data suggests that cloudy apple juice (juice with the pulp) can regulate various liver enzymes, and therefore may protect the liver from damage [12].
Is cloudy apple juice better than clear or pure juice?According to research, it is four times better. A pulish study that tested this exact question, found that cloudy apple juice contains four times more the concentration of polyphenols than the clear juice [13].
For this reason, you may want to keep the pulp when you make the apple juice.
More on apple juice and liver cleansing. In his best-selling book, The Amazing
Liver Cleanse, Andreas Moritz recommended to drink apple juice daily during the liver cleanse. According to Andreas:
Malic acid in apple juice does exceptionally well in dissolving
some of the stagnant bile and making the stones softer…The malic acid in the apple juice softens the gallstones and makes their passage through the bile ducts easy.

Thank you for posting this. Andreas moritz was spot on on the apple juice. I didn’t know I should get the cloudy one. Great article!
Very good recipe.
How often can you drink it? Or consume it?
Hi Abigail, you can drink it as a part of your liver cleanse, or daily.
Great! work. This post is so informative and beneficial. Thanks for sharing such an awesome blog.
i dont have a juicer can i use a blender instead and made it as smoothie
I’m wondering the same thing.
Yes you can definitely use a blender and make a smoothie, depending on the taste and consistency, you may need to add more water and stevia.
how long should I use this juice?, one week, one month ? in order to feel that my liver is clean?
Why haven’t you mentioned when to put the ginger? You left it out
Also, do we peel the skin off the lemon. You mentioned peeling the ginger and beet only.
Do we squeeze the lemon or peel then cut?
Lemon and Ginger are my personal favorite. As you mentioned here, lemon is great as a liver cleanser.
Please encourage your readers to use organic veggies and fruit. Apples and spinach are full of pesticides.
Do you have a fav juicer? I’m tired of buying machines that are sub standard. So many have much more waste then juice as the end product.
How often to drink for fatty non alcoholic liver disease?
I didn’t know that carrot juice also helps in cleansing liver. Thanks for this info.
