Other studies have suggested that beetroot may also reduce blood pressure, inflammation, and promote healthy circulation and blood flow (2). Beet juice brings a sweet earthy flavor to the juice, including the dark red attractive color.

When it comes to the benefits of celery to the liver cleanse juice, celery was found by research to be beneficial for decreasing the elevation of liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase AST, alanine aminotransferase ALT, and alkaline phosphatase ALP) and blood lipids (3).
- Ginger root: ginger is an excellent digestive aid with many health benefits. Studies have suggested that ginger can improve certain liver enzymes profile and other nonalcoholic fatty liver disease characteristics (4). Ginger brings a very distinct spicy flavor to the juice. If you enjoy the ginger taste, feel free to add another ½ inch of ginger root.

Other studies suggested that carrot juice may improve certain liver functions related to Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (6). Carrots juicing adds sweetness to the liver cleanse juice.

When it comes to a liver cleanse juice, lemon juice was suggested by research to have a protective effect on the liver by reducing the levels of serum ALT and AST liver enzymes as well as triacylglycerol and lipid peroxidation in the liver (7). Adding the lemon juice is a very good way to balance the flavor of this liver cleansing juice, especially the beetroot and celery.

Adding liver cleansing herbs to the liver cleansing juice is one of the best ways to boost its effect. When adding liver cleansing herbs to your liver cleanse juice, the preference is to use alcohol free liquid herbal extracts tinctures.
