Liquid liver fractions have been traditionally used in herbal and naturopathic medicine to support the glandular system, particularly with the belief that "like supports like"—meaning animal liver is thought to nourish and strengthen the human liver and, by extension, other glands. The practice of consuming animal organs for health dates back centuries and is found in various cultures. Proponents argue that since the liver is a nutrient-dense organ, rich in vitamins A, B12, folate, iron, and other micronutrients, its extracts could provide nourishment to the body’s own glandular and endocrine systems.

However, scientific support for this specific application—liquid liver fractions directly supporting the glandular system as a whole—is limited. Most research focuses on the nutritional benefits of liver, particularly in cases of anemia or vitamin deficiencies, rather than any specific effect on glands like the thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary glands. No high-quality clinical trials have demonstrated that liquid liver fractions have a direct therapeutic impact on the glandular system or its functions.

In summary, while the use of liquid liver fractions to support the glandular system is rooted in traditional practice and has a plausible nutritional rationale, there is little direct scientific evidence validating this use beyond general nutritional support.
