Solaray Total Cleanse Liver provides beneficial antioxidants like NAC, Selenium, and Vitamin C, which contribute to general health and detoxification. However, the key 'Liver Blend' is proprietary, obscuring crucial ingredient dosages, which hinders a full assessment of its targeted liver support capabilities.
Solaray Total Cleanse Liver aims to support various aspects of health including immunity, anti-aging, skin health, metabolism, and detoxification, primarily through its blend of L-Glutathione, N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), Selenium (Selenomethionine), Vitamin C, and a proprietary 'Total Cleanse Liver Blend.' While NAC, Vitamin C, and Selenium are well-known for their antioxidant and supportive roles in detoxification and immune function, the 25mg of L-Glutathione is a very low dose, and its oral bioavailability is often debated. The main concern lies with the 635mg 'Total Cleanse Liver Blend' which hides the specific quantities of its ingredients. This lack of transparency means consumers cannot verify if the herbal components (e.g., milk thistle, dandelion, artichoke extract, often found in liver support formulas) are present in clinically effective doses. Online reviews often praise the Solaray brand generally, but for this specific product, the effectiveness for 'liver cleanse' is hard to quantify without knowing the blend's constituents. Competitors like LifeSeasons Puri-T offer clearer ingredient breakdowns for similar goals, providing a more reliable assessment of their liver-supporting components. The price per serving of $0.69 is reasonable for a multi-ingredient supplement, but the lack of transparency in the core blend reduces its overall value proposition for its primary stated goal.
- Contains N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), a potent precursor to glutathione, and strong antioxidants like Selenium and Vitamin C, which are beneficial for overall health and detoxification processes.
- Selenium is provided in the well-absorbed Selenomethionine form, contributing effectively to antioxidant defense and immune function.
- The primary 'Total Cleanse Liver Blend' is a proprietary blend, meaning individual ingredient quantities within it are not disclosed, making it impossible to ascertain if the liver-specific herbs are present in efficacious doses.
- The L-Glutathione dose (25mg) is very low and likely offers minimal direct benefit due to poor oral absorption, despite the inclusion of NAC which supports endogenous glutathione.
- The lack of transparency in the proprietary blend means consumers cannot make informed decisions about the specific herbal components and their dosages, potentially leading to underdosing of key liver-supportive ingredients.

Categories
Selenium 72.0
The product provides 100mcg of Selenium in the well-absorbed Selenomethionine form, which is a good daily dose for antioxidant support. However, some alternative products offer higher concentrations (e.g., 200-300mcg) for more intensive supplementation.
Gluthathione 70.0
While the direct L-Glutathione dose (25mg) is quite low and potentially ineffective orally, the inclusion of 200mg of N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is excellent, as NAC is a highly effective precursor that stimulates the body's natural production of glutathione, providing significant indirect glutathione support.
Goals
Immunity 75.0
The inclusion of Vitamin C and Selenium, both well-known for their immune-boosting properties, along with NAC which supports glutathione essential for immune cell function, provides good foundational support for immunity.
General Health 70.0
With a combination of essential antioxidants like Selenium and Vitamin C, plus the glutathione-supporting NAC, the product offers a good basis for overall cellular health and protection against oxidative stress.
Anti-Aging 68.0
The antioxidant powerhouse ingredients (NAC, Selenium, Vitamin C) combat oxidative stress, a major contributor to cellular aging, providing a supportive role in anti-aging efforts, though direct anti-aging claims are broad.
