Brief Answer:
Understand the harmful toxins to your liver&avoid

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

1. The very first thing is to understand what is causing your liver to get toxic and try to avoid or limit their use or exposure :
- foods you eat: bad fat/processed,etc
- drinks: alcohol, caffeinated, carbonated, etc
- exposure to chemicals: non natural house cleaning products, smoking, fumes, etc
- medications you might use without prescription like pain killers in large doses

2. Increase water intake to flush off the toxins

3. Take supplements containing the antioxidant silymarine like milk thistle extract

4. Use magnesium supplement

Hope it was of help!
