Hepa+

USANA Nutritional Hybrid Technology

A healthy lifestyle coupled with a supplement such as USANA’s HepaPlus with the unique InCelligence Detox-Support Complex is a great way to maintain healthy liver function and balance the body’s natural detoxification processes.

The liver is the body’s second largest organ and the largest gland. Everything we eat, breathe and absorb through our skin is filtered through the liver, which performs many complex functions crucial for life. It manufactures many important proteins; assists in the conversion of fats, amino acids, vitamins and minerals into more usable forms; makes important structural components, including cell membrane compounds; filters toxins from blood; and stores certain vitamins and minerals, including iron and B12.

HepaPlus was formulated to provide a unique blend of antioxidants to help support healthy liver function.

Milk Thistle Extract

Used as a natural remedy to support liver health for over 2,000 years, milk thistle is used by the liver to protect against oxidative stress. Additionally, it stimulates liver detoxification pathways and has strong antioxidant properties thought to help strengthen and protect liver cells. As an antioxidant, milk thistle helps increase the amount and the activity of several antioxidant enzyme systems that are involved in the detoxification process, such as SOD (superoxide dismutase) and the glutathione peroxidase system. The active phytochemicals in milk thistle may also stimulate protein synthesis in liver cells, which helps to regenerate them.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha lipoic acid is easily transported across cell membranes to provide support to the important enzymes both inside and outside the cell. As ALA is both water- and oil-soluble, it is thought to help regenerate both water- and oil-soluble antioxidants.

Turmeric Extract

Turmeric, the powdered root of the plant Curcuma longa L., is a member of the ginger family native to India and Southeast Asia. It contains curcumin and related compounds known as curcuminoids, which have significant antioxidant properties.

Choline

Choline is an essential nutrient related to the water-soluble B-complex vitamins. It is synthesised in the body, as well as consumed in the diet, and is necessary for the function of every cell. Choline plays a major role in membrane structure and integrity, lipid and cholesterol transport, and brain function. It is a constituent of phosphatidylcholine, which is a component of cell walls and membranes. Choline is also involved in fat and cholesterol metabolism and transport, and aids in fat metabolism and transport away from the liver.
