Stress, polluted environment, fast food snacks during the day, eating fatty foods after work, a sedentary lifestyle and alcohol make it difficult for the liver to function. This organ maintains metabolism in the body, is responsible for eliminating toxins, filters blood 400 times a day, cleanses and neutralizes toxic elements.
The liver is the main filter of the body; it needs periodic cleaning of toxins in anyone, even a healthy-looking person. Liver destruction can be hidden and asymptomatic. Liver cells, accumulating fat, cannot cope with the enormous load. Fatty hepatosis occurs.
Symptoms of liver dysfunction:
- Bitter taste;
- Yellow coating on the tongue;
- Allergy, itching, skin rash;
- Yellowness of the eyes;
- Nagging pain in the right hypochondrium;
- Swelling;
- Sweating;
- Headache;
- Severe weakness.
In recent years, the mortality rate due to liver pathologies in Russia has increased by almost 80%. Loading with waste leads to unpleasant diseases:
- Diabetes;
- Disruption of the gastrointestinal tract;
- Malfunction of the thyroid gland;
- Atherosclerosis;
- Diseases of the nervous system;
- Cholelithiasis.
The liver has no nerve endings. It is possible to diagnose its destruction only in the later stages of the disease. More than 80% of such cases end in death. A person cannot live without an organ.
The liver has the unique ability to recover and regenerate, even if only about 10% of healthy cells remain. The most effective way to provide assistance is considered to be taking choleretic drugs.

In the morning from 8 to 14 o'clock drink 1/2 glass of apple juice, after 14 o'clock one water. At 18 o'clock - 2 tablets of Allochol, at 19 o'clock - 25 ml of lemon juice and 50 ml of olive oil.

Cleaning with Allochol according to the scheme for 14 days
Suitable for patients with experience of cleansing with tablets. 2 weeks before the start, you need to exclude allergenic foods from your diet - chocolate, citrus fruits, carbonated sweet water. Also excluded are foods that load the liver - smoked fish, fatty meat, hot spices, pickles, marinades. Overloading the digestive system is not allowed. To clean this way, it is better to wait until autumn. During this period, allergic reactions are excluded, the body is not weakened due to the lack of vitamins, unlike spring and summer.

Advantages of allochol production technology
began producing allochol 50 years ago, and during this time more than 33.5 billion yellow tablets of this drug, known to many people, were produced.
The manufacturing company has made a number of technological changes to ensure the quality of the drug, and today Allochol is produced in accordance with the requirements of GMP standards.
The production technology of the drug consists of mixing dry ingredients, which eliminates the effect of moisture and heat on all ingredients of the drug. In turn, this technology ensures the safety of the active substances of garlic, bile, nettle and the sorption activity of activated carbon.
Since 2009, the company began producing allochol, which differs from the previously produced one in the composition of excipients and shell. The updated Allochol has retained all the quality characteristics and therapeutic effects in relation to the previously produced drug.
Replacing the sugar shell of the drug with a film one made it possible not only to ensure the integrity of the tablet core and protect it from exposure to moisture and light, but also contributes to a faster release of the active components. It is also important that the film shell does not contain sucrose, which allows long-term use of Allochol by patients with diabetes mellitus.
In order to get rid of microbiological contamination, sterilization of plant raw materials included in allochol is carried out using a special method without exposure to temperature and chemicals, which allows preserving the active components.
It is worth noting that for the convenience of customers in 2014, Allochol will be produced in new, more convenient packaging.
Efficiency of application
If the correct dosage is observed, pain in the liver and gall bladder disappears after 7 days. The herbal components of the drug improve the flow of bile, eliminate stagnation and remove deposits of toxins and waste. The effectiveness of liver cleansing with Allochol has been proven in practice. The product accelerates the secretion of bile in 14 days, removes secretions from the body and improves the general condition of the body. It can even be prescribed to pregnant women.
As a preventative measure, liver cleansing with Allochol for 14 days is repeated every six months. 1-3 weeks before the start of the course, it is recommended to follow a diet and drink a lot of water. It is recommended to consume drinks high in vitamins. You are supposed to do exercises every day. Physical exercise intensively removes bile.
Result of the course:
- Normalization of all liver functions, weakness, insomnia, and lethargy disappear.
- Improved hair condition.
- Cleansing of the skin, disappearance of the rash.
- Stimulates the digestive system, weight loss.
- Disappearance of heaviness in the stomach, heartburn.
Contraindications
It is permissible to use Allochol only if there are no contraindications on the list:
- Peptic ulcer, gastritis;
- Stones in the kidneys or gall bladder;
- Hepatitis;
- Pancreatitis;
- Enterocolitis – inflammation of the small and large intestines;
- Exacerbation of erosion of the stomach and duodenum;
- Childhood.
The drug should not be taken on an empty stomach, while drinking alcohol, coffee, or while being treated with alcohol-containing drugs.
Allochol cleaning is not prescribed for people who have an allergic reaction to plants of the Nettle or Amaryllis family. When carrying out a cleaning course over 14 days, the highest dosage of the product falls on the border between the first and second weeks. Testimonies from people indicate the possibility of pain in the abdomen, intestinal colic, and diarrhea at this time. Harmful substances are washed out of the body along with beneficial microelements. You cannot take painkillers. Cleaning will need to be stopped if the temperature rises or if unpleasant symptoms continue for several days.
Liver cleansing is contraindicated in case of cholecystitis - inflammation of the walls of the gallbladder. First, it is recommended to completely abstain from food, include only broths in the menu for the next three days, then gradually return to a normal diet. The course of cleansing with Allochol tablets should begin no earlier than 7 days after the pain symptoms disappear.
Possible side effects
Cleansing with Allochol is usually well tolerated. However, it gives a positive result only if it is carried out after consultation and approval of a gastroenterologist.
Side effects are rare. If, during a course of procedures, severe spastic pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, rashes, attacks of nausea and heartburn occur, an allergic reaction and individual intolerance have developed, cleansing with Allochol is canceled.
To avoid unwanted complications, during and after the procedures you should adhere to a diet excluding fried, fatty and spicy foods. Only natural, light boiled and baked dishes, salads and fermented milk products are allowed.
Compatibility with other drugs
Reviews from doctors confirm the possibility of using Allochol simultaneously with other medications. Cleansing the liver and the entire body will be more effective when taken in combination with vitamin and antimicrobial drugs. When used with antiseptics it acts neutral. In combination with antibacterial therapy, patients recover faster. Simultaneous use with medications containing aluminum hydroxide, cholestyramine, colestipol is prohibited. The drug is less absorbed and its effectiveness decreases.
Allochol is often associated with other similar drugs - Karsil and Cholenzym. The principle of action of each product is different. Allochol performs a choleretic function and indirectly helps cleanse the liver, removing stagnant processes. Cholenzym is recommended for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Karsil is prescribed to restore damaged liver cells and protect healthy ones.
Allohol is a folk remedy recognized by medicine. It has been used for more than 50 years for effective treatment and restoration of the liver, even in severe advanced cases.
Analogues of the drug
The group of choleretic drugs is made from animal, plant, and synthetic raw materials. The modern pharmaceutical market offers universal, complex over-the-counter drugs that perform three main tasks:

Despite the fact that Allohol and other choleretic drugs are included in the over-the-counter list and are safe, it should be remembered that taking them is not a panacea. They can help some, but on the contrary, they will harm others. To prevent this from happening, liver cleansing using Allochol is best done only after permission from a specialist.
