Liver diseases are a worldwide medical problem because the liver is the principal detoxifying organ and maintains metabolic homeostasis.
Hepakom is a food supplement containing Phosphocomplex®, choline and vitamin E.
It is designed for normalizing liver function, protects the liver by preventing the entry of toxic substances and helps repair damaged liver cells.
Phosphocomplex®- is the bioavailable Silybin, the primary active flavonolignan in silymarin extract from milk thistle seeds.
In Phosphocomplex®, the phospholipid complexation of Silybin occurs with phosphatidylcholine, which is an important emulsifier in the gastrointestinal tract and improves the capacity of the Silybin to cross the lipid-rich bio-membranes and reach circulation, resulting in enhanced bioavailability.
Through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, the Silybin contained in Phosphocomplex® has the capacity to protect and normalize liver functions, also promoting the production of glutathione.
Choline – helps to transport fat away from the liver, thereby maintaining healthy liver functioning. An adequate choline intake helps maintain a healthy liver.
Vitamin E – directly removes reactive free radicals and stops reactions of lipid peroxidation,regulates ALT and AST levels and reduces liver fat accumulation, fibrosis and inflammation.
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Alpha lipoic acid – helps to restore intracellular antioxidants.
