Hepaplus

Uses
Hepaplus (CynaraExtract/L-Ornithine Aspartate/Thiamine/Riboflavin/Niacin/Pantothenic Acid/Vitamin B6 ) is a liver supplement for adults. It may be used to maintain liver health or to treat liver disorders and medical conditions related to digestion. In addition to a wide range of vitamins, it also contains cynara extract (taken from a plant called cynara scolymus or artichoke). This substance is renowned for its hepatoprotective action and has been popularised due to it reportedly improving bile flow from the gallbladder and liver by functioning as a choleretic.

Bile is a type of fluid that the liver produces and it is used to help digest lipids. Increasing its flow can aid the digestive process and may also help to protect against arteriosclerosis and lower cholesterol. Some people think that artichoke extract may even be beneficial in helping protect the liver from chemical toxins, and it has also been used as a digestive aid for patients with dyspeptic disorders. L-ornithine aspartate has been used in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy and it is known to have an effect on the blood ammonia levels. A selection of B vitamins as well as pantothenic acid are also added so as to help proper metabolism.
