HepatoPro (Polyunsaturated Phosphatidylcholine)
900 mg, 60 softgels
Item Catalog Number:
00656

Phosphatidylcholine is an integral part of all cell membranes and essential for their structural and functional integrity. An extract from soybeans called PPC (polyenylphosphatidylcholine) has been shown to enhance cell membrane function throughout the body. PPC has strong antioxidant, cytoprotective, and fluid-regulating effects.

It is believed that PPC’s beneficial effect is based on its ability to be incor-porated into liver cell membranes to help restore its structure and the functioning of corresponding enzymes.4 This results in an increase in membrane fluidity and transport activity across the membrane.

PPC also appears to have antioxidant properties, which means it may reduce oxidative stress (cellular changes that generate free radicals), may help protect the liver by modulating its immune response and may help ameliorate the effects of blood supply restriction or reperfusion.

PPC is also incorporated into blood lipoproteins, helping to extend its benefits beyond the liver to promoting arterial health.
Mounting evidence suggests that PPC supplementation beneficially supports the critical process of reverse cholesterol transport. This process is a well-documented function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that involves the transport of cholesterol from the arterial walls to the liver for processing.5

Research also supports PPC’s critical role in helping to reduce LDL oxidation.6 In fact, a growing body of research shows that PPC can help maintain healthy lipoprotein profiles in those already within normal range.7

HepatoPro contains 100% pure PPC (polyenylphospha-tidylcholine). Each 900-mg PPC softgel is well-absorbed when taken orally and has no known contraindications, side effects, or drug interactions.
