There is not a single health problem that the liver is not aware of and cannot assist in resolving.

Hepata*Trope by Scientific Bio-Logics

     

The largest of the internal organs, the liver, "weighs in" at 2.5 to 3   pounds. It is suspended behind the ribs on the upper right side of the abdomen   and spans almost the entire width of the body.

 

The liver removes fatty acids from diet or from deposits by degrading   and oxidizing them when the body must call on fat as a major energy source.   Lipotropic factors such as those found in Hepata*Trope must be active to   prevent abnormal accumulation of fats in the liver. By a process of   transmethylation, these lipotropic agents promote the production of   lipoproteins which transfer the fatty acids out of the liver (2).

   

Hormone conjugation also occurs in the liver. By keeping the liver   healthy, the ingredients in Hepata*Trope aids in this reaction. Estrogen can be carcinogenic if it   is not conjugated. Calcium, protein, mineral, and fat metabolism are all   regulated by components of conjugated estrogen. An unhealthy, fatty or   cirrhotic liver cannot perform these functions efficiently.

   

The ingredients HepataTrope is Targeted to Lipid Metabolism and Liver Function.  

   

In addition to the protective and regenerative Milk Thistle herb,   Scientific Bio-Logics has included in the Hepata*Trope formula specific   vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbs, each of which is targeted to lipid   metabolism and healthy liver function. These nutrients aid the liver and gall   bladder in metabolism of lipids and conjugation of hormones such as estradiol.   Choline, considered one of the B vitamins, functions with inositol as a basic   constituent of lecithin. It is associated primarily with utilization   of fats and lipids in the body. It prevents fats from accumulating in the   liver and facilitates the movement of fats into the cells. Choline combines   with fatty acids and phosphoric acid within the liver to form lecithin. It   improves liver and gallbladder function and helps prevent gallstones (3).   Inositol, like choline, is a constituent of lecithin, which is needed to move   fats from the liver to the cells. High intake of caffeine may create an   inositol shortage in the body (3).

   

Vitamin B-6, is involved in the metabolism of fats and fatty acids,   especially the essential unsaturated fatty acids. Birth control pills increase   the risk of gallstones, which can be caused by oxalic acid toxicity. Vitamin   B-6 detoxifies oxalic acid (7).

   

Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid are used in the synthesis of methionine and   choline.

   

The coenzyme of vitamin B-12 is a carrier of methyl groups and hydrogen   and is necessary for carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Because of its   methyl transfer role, vitamin B-12 is active in the synthesis of the amino acid   methionine from its precursor, homocysteine. The coenzyme transfers methyl   groups from methyl folate, a derivative of folic acid, to homocysteine and   methionine is formed. Because methionine is needed in choline synthesis, B-12   plays a secondary role in the lipid pathway.

   

A choline deficiency that causes fatty liver can be prevented by vitamin   B-12 and the other methyl donors   betaine, methionine folic aced   (3).

   

PABA, para-aminobenzoic acid, stimulates the intestinal bacteria,   enabling them to produce folic acid which in turn aids in the production of   pantothenic acid (3).

   

Pantothenic Acid has clinical application in lipogenesis formation of   cholesterol, formation of steroid hormones and detoxification of drugs (2).   Magnesium is necessary for coenzyme A reaction. The mineral has shown to   enhance enzymatic activity in the liver (4). Vitamin and trace mineral   deficiencies lower coenzyme activity (1).

   

Magnesium in case studies has been credited with dissolving gallstones   (7). Alcohol consumption increases the dietary need for magnesium threefold   (4). Celandine is primarily used as a liver-detoxifying herb for the treatment   of hepatitis, jaundice, cancer, psoriasis, eczema and skin problems (9).

 

Chionanthus is a mild stimulant for the bowels and a tonic that   strengthens or invigorates organs or the entire organism. This herb has a   beneficial effect on the kidneys and liver, including acute and chromic liver   inflammation and cirrhosis of the liver (6). It has been used successfully in   treating menstrual disorders, hepatic derangements, jaundice, enlarged spleen   and jaundice with arrest of menses (5).

   

Black Radish appears to help speed up the flow of bile and has a   detoxifying effect of the liver and spleen (7). Beet Leaves have been found to   increase bile flow as well as to aid in carbohydrate and fat metabolism (7).   Betaine is a source of methyl groups. It is used in the liver for the   detoxification of free radicals and other reactive by-products (7). Methionine   acts as a methyl donor and antioxidant in liver tissues and aids healing and   detoxification of these tissues (7). Its primary lipotropic function is to   prevent excess fat accumulations in the liver by increasing lecithin production   (8).

 

Milk Thistle (silybum marianum) is used in Europe in both   over-the-counter and prescription medications to treat a variety of liver   ailments. According to medical literature published overseas the herb, known   scientifically as silymarin, has been used successfully in treating hepatitis   and reversing liver damage caused by cirrhosis, drugs and toxins (without side   effects).
