Liver Clearing

Renew Formula

A phase-by-phase clearing arc — so the body's own renewal can run clean.

Renew is built around one quiet truth: the body is always cleaning house. Every day the liver sorts, transforms, and ushers out what it has finished with, the blood carries it, the lymph drains it, and the skin and channels of elimination move it on. When that arc runs smoothly, you feel light, clear, and steady. When it backs up, everything feels a little heavy — the skin dulls, mornings feel thick, the system runs sluggish. Renew is an arc designed to support that natural clearing and renewal at each stage, so the body's own housekeeping can do what it already knows how to do.

We call it an arc because that is how the herbs work — in sequence, not in isolation. Schizandra and dandelion support the liver's two phases of clearing and the steady flow of bile. Burdock works downstream, supporting the blood, the lymph, and the skin as the body moves what the liver has processed. Reishi sits underneath the whole thing, the grounding adaptogen that helps the system stay calm and resourced while it does the work. Together they read less like a stack of single herbs and more like a complete cycle, phase by phase.

Reach for Renew when you want to support a clean reset — after a heavy stretch, a rich season, a long winter indoors, or simply as a steady rhythm you return to. This is structure-and-function nourishment: it feeds the organs and systems that handle the body's natural renewal. It is not a punishing cleanse — it is the original kind of support, feeding the body so the body can keep itself clean. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

A little goes a long way. These are very potent extracts, and Renew is meant to be lived with daily rather than taken in heroic doses. The aim is a quiet, consistent current of support — the kind you notice not as a jolt, but as a baseline that slowly feels clearer and lighter the longer you keep it.

How it works

The science of Renew

Not buzzwords — the actual biology of the plants in this formula: their compounds, the targets those compounds are measured to engage, and the systems they nourish.

The liver is the central organ of the body's natural clearing, and it does its work in stages — first transforming compounds, then conjugating them for elimination, then moving them out through bile. Renew is composed to support that whole arc. Schizandra has been a first-rank liver tonic in the East Asian materia medica for centuries, prized as a 'five-flavor' fruit; its lignans — the schisandrins and wuweizisu compounds measured in our molecular layer — are among the most-studied constituents in any liver-supporting plant. Dandelion, the bitter green that Culpeper and the Greek-Galenic tradition both leaned on for the liver and the flow of bile, contributes taraxasterol, the sesquiterpene bitters, and the flavone luteolin. Bitterness is not a flaw here — it is the mechanism. Bitter principles are the classical signal for digestive and biliary flow across Western, Ayurvedic, and East Asian practice alike.

Where schizandra and dandelion support the upstream clearing, burdock works the downstream half of the arc — what the blood and lymph carry away. Burdock root is the great 'blood-mover' and skin herb of nearly every herbal lineage on earth: the alterative of the Eclectic and Thomsonian Americans, the depurative of Galenic Europe, a clearing root in both African and East-Asian folk practice. Its arctiin and arctigenin lignans, along with chlorogenic and caffeic acids documented in our data, sit behind its long traditional use for the blood, the lymphatic channels, and the skin — the body's outer mirror of inner clearing. Inulin, burdock's gentle prebiotic fiber, also feeds the gut terrain that the liver depends on.

Beneath all of it is reishi — lingzhi, the 'mushroom of immortality' of the Daoist canon — the adaptogen that keeps the work grounded. Its ganoderic-acid triterpenes and beta-glucan polysaccharides are the measured constituents behind its reputation as a tonic for the body's resilience and immune balance. Clearing is metabolically demanding work; reishi's role in Renew is to help the system stay calm, resourced, and steady while it carries it out. One continuous cycle: transform, move, drain, and stay grounded — each phase supported by plants trusted for it across every culture, and described here only in terms of the systems they nourish.

In practice

Who it’s for, and how to use it

Who it’s for

For anyone who wants to support their body's own renewal as a steady rhythm rather than a crash cleanse — useful after a heavy or rich stretch, at the turn of a season, or simply as a daily current of support for clear skin, light mornings, and a system that isn't running sluggish. Best for those who appreciate bitter, grounding, earthy tonics and prefer to be fed rather than flushed.

How to use it

Start with 1/4 teaspoon of the extract powder stirred into hot water, tea, coffee, a smoothie, or a little food, once daily. You can build up toward 1 teaspoon as you find your level, but begin light — these are very potent extracts and a small amount carries the full arc. Renew rewards consistency: a quiet daily dose over weeks does far more than a large occasional one. The taste is frankly bitter and earthy, which is the dandelion and burdock doing exactly what bitter herbs are meant to do — lean into it, or soften it with something warm.
