Liver Support Supplement UK – BioHep Artichoke & Choline 60 Caps

The liver does the unglamorous work — removing waste products, storing nutrients for timely energy release, and keeping the rest of the system running. BioHep supports it with 4800mg of artichoke leaf per capsule, standardised for a minimum 2.5% cynarin, alongside ten further botanicals, N-acetyl L-cysteine, alpha lipoic acid and silica — with choline carrying the one EU-authorised claim that names the liver directly.

Choline Is the Regulated Ingredient

Most liver supplements rely entirely on traditional herbal use, which is valuable but is not the same category of evidence as an authorised health claim. BioHep includes 85.8mg of choline per capsule, and choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function, as well as normal lipid metabolism and normal homocysteine metabolism.

That is a regulator-assessed claim, and it is the reason this formula is built around choline rather than around a single herb.

The artichoke does the heavy lifting on the botanical side at 4800mg equivalent — by some distance the largest ingredient, and standardised for cynarin rather than sold as an unquantified powder.

How Other UK Liver Supplements Compare

Milk thistle capsules — the default, single ingredient. Milk thistle is the best-known liver herb and there are dozens of own-brand versions. They are typically single-ingredient, carry no authorised health claim, and hold no halal certification. BioHep takes a different approach with artichoke as the lead botanical and choline carrying the regulated claim.

Holland & Barrett liver formulas — varied, not halal. Own-brand liver blends vary widely in composition and rarely publish individual doses. No halal or kosher approval.

Premium detox blends — expensive, often proprietary. Many use "proprietary blend" labelling that hides individual quantities entirely.
