The Caper Bush (Himsra) is a potent hepatoprotective.It inhibits the elevation of malondialdehyde (biomarker for oxidative stress) levels in plasma and hepatic cells. Caper Bush also inhibits the ALT and AST enzyme levels and improves the functional efficiency of the liver.Flavonoids present in the Caper Bush exhibit significant antioxidant properties, as well.

Each herbal ingredient of Liv.52 is analyzed as per the standards set by Pharmacopoeia (IP, BP, EP, and USP)*. A battery of non-clinical toxicological studies (acute, subacute, chronic, genotoxicity, developmental, and reproductive toxicity studies) have further reinforced the safety of Liv.52, with a wide margin of safety. Himalaya's advanced Research and Development (RandD) Center is certified for Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) for following international Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines.

We ensure consistent quality in every batch (as per WHO standards for herbal medicines). Himalaya's manufacturing facility is GMP certified and audited at regular intervals by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and regulatory bodies of several countries.

Considering some trace levels of heavy metals occurring naturally in botanical/plants/food ingredients, many regulatory bodies have defined the permissible limits for heavy metal contaminants in herbal medicines after considering the geographical aspects of such contaminants. In this direction, both WHO and AYUSH have defined the limits of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury) in herbal medicines. We, at Himalaya, follow these guidelines for all our medicinal products and ensure that our products comply with these regulations.
