Recognizing low toxic therapeutic alternatives is crucial for the management of liver illnesses as a result. Phytochemicals, which are found in plants and fruits, have been shown to have beneficial effects on liver protection, according to numerous scientific research. This has led to the usage of some natural remedies. For their anticipated safety, potential nutritional and medicinal advantages, nutraceuticals have attracted a lot of attention. These were employed as an alternative to modern medications that improve health, boost diet nutrient content, and lengthen life expectancy. Herbs, diverse nutrients, and dietary supplements are important components of nutraceuticals since they help prevent certain diseases and lessen their pathophysiology. Along with other health-promoting actions, it also has immune-stimulating, natural antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, and organo protective properties. In the end, they guarantee a higher quality of life. The goal of the current review was to gather information from studies that looked at a variety of foods that humans frequently consume and that have been shown to have hepatoprotective properties, including grapefruit, cranberries, and grapes, as well as cactus pear (nopal) and cactus pear fruit, chamomile, silymarin, and spirulina.
