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

The liver is a large glandular organ, whose functions include storage and filtration of blood, secretion of bile, detoxification of various substances, and conversion of sugars into glycogen, which it stores. The liver is also responsible for processing many vitamins and nutrients into a form that can be utilized by the body, and processing many toxic chemicals for elimination.

Modern living involves daily exposure to substances that are toxic to our bodies, which imposes a heavy load on the liver. Therefore, a healthy liver is critical to well-being. Certain lifestyle risks and medical conditions make it all the more important to ensure that the liver is being maintained at its functional best.

Polyunsaturated polyenylphophatidylcholine (PPC), a mixture of unsaturated phosphatidylcholines (PC) extracted from soybeans, is the major ingredient in HepatoPro. PPC supports membranes and reactivates their enzymes, including phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase, needed for phospholipid regeneration, and thus helps maintain the fluidity and integrity of cell membranes, which is vital to good health.3 PPC also helps promote the breakdown of collagen in the liver. Excess collagen can interfere with normal detoxification processes.4  An accumulating body of research suggests that PPC’s health benefits may extend from the liver to the stomach, pancreas, and cardiovascular system.5-14 Studies show that PPC helps restore depleted SAMe. As a result of increased SAMe levels, glutathione levels are also increased and oxidative stress is reduced.15* There are no known contraindications, side effects, or interactions with other drugs.

Each bottle provides 60 capsules of 98% pure PPC.
