Why it’s good for detoxification

The liver’s detoxification reactions require amino acids, making adequate dietary protein important.

Haddock provides high-quality protein and selenium.

Selenium contributes to antioxidant enzymes that help protect cells from oxidative damage.

Leeks and garlic provide organosulphur compounds, while cannellini beans provide fibre.

This combination supports both liver nutrition and subsequent digestive elimination.
