Dandelion is a superb source of antioxidants that assist in protecting against oxidative stress and cellular damage. A number of these antioxidants found in dandelion have a protective effect on the liver.
Dandelion polysaccharides have been demonstrated to protect the liver from damage as a result of toxic levels of acetaminophen, a frequently used medicine for pain relief.1✅ JOURNAL REFERENCE
