I recently chatted with a dietitian, and she recommended Liv52 to help me gain weight and potentially ease liver issues. I'm currently taking two tablets a day. Is it truly safe to use Liv52 for this purpose?

Liv52 contains plant based extracts. It has general antioxidant and liver protective properties. Liv52 is generally safe to take but you should consult a physician to undergo some liver function tests to be on the safer side.
