Meet Dr. Rustgi
Founder & Formulator, Dr. VR’s Liver Detox & Cleanse
Professor. Hepatologist. Innovator.
With more than three decades devoted to the science and care of the liver, Dr. Vinod K. Rustgi has become one of the most respected voices in hepatology and gastroenterology. As a Professor of Epidemiology and Pathology & Laboratory Medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers University, he has spent his career at the intersection of research, patient care, and medical innovation.
Dr. Rustgi previously served as the Medical Director of Liver Transplantation at the University of Pittsburgh’s world-renowned Starzl Transplant Institute, one of the foremost centers for liver medicine. Over the years, his leadership and research have helped shape modern treatment approaches for liver disease — including pivotal work in the antiviral therapies that led to the cure for Hepatitis C.
Today, Dr. Rustgi continues to advance liver health as a clinical leader, researcher, and educator, focusing on outcomes in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other chronic liver conditions. His work has been featured in top medical journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Transplantation, and he has co-authored five books and more than 80 peer-reviewed articles.
“This supplement is the culmination of decades of clinical experience,” says Dr. Rustgi.
“I created it to give people a safe, effective way to support their liver, improve metabolism, and restore balance — whether they’re managing fatty liver, recovering from alcohol exposure, or simply aiming for better long-term health.”
Dr. Rustgi earned his MD and MBA from Johns Hopkins University and completed his training at Baylor College of Medicine, Georgetown University, Stanford University Medical Center, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). A former member of the Governing Board of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), he remains deeply involved in advancing hepatology education and outcomes research.
With Dr. VR’s Liver Detox & Cleanse, he brings that lifetime of knowledge directly to you — combining time-tested herbal remedies with modern clinical science to help your liver heal, function, and thrive.
