HepaGlycyrrhizic™ promotes healthy liver function.
HepaGlycyrrhizic™ is a combination of several key plant-derived ingredients which have been shown to exert many benefits in the nutritional
support of liver disease including: antihepatotoxic effects, immune-enhancing actions, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-viral, and potentiation of interferon.
Usage and Indications:
The formula can be taken as a maintenance dose for persons who want to maintain a healthy liver or as a nutritional dose. For persons who want to reduce
their level of liver enzymes and protect their liver from further damage caused most commonly by cirrhosis, hepatitis, prescription medications, alcohol and other diseases.
Here is a partial list of uses for HepaGlycyrrhizic™:
- Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E
- Cirrhosis To protect and restore the liver from:
- Stress
- Prescription medication
- Alcohol and drug use
- Pesticides
- Preservatives and Additives
- Environmental toxins
- During and after treatment using Interferon or Chemotherapy
- Cleansing
- Inflammation of all types (including hot arthritis)
- Gallstones and Kidney Stones
- To promote energy
Directions:
Shake the bottle well before each use! Add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon to 2-4 ounces of water (or juice) daily.
The formula may be diluted in more liquid if the taste is too sweet.
Maintenance Dose:
To promote healthy liver function - add 1/4 teaspoon (1.15 grams) to 2-4 ounces of liquid and consume daily.
Treatment Dose:
To lower liver enzymes and protect the liver from future damage - add 1/2 teaspoon (2.3 grams) to 2-4 ounces of liquid and consume daily until liver enzymes are lowered, then follow with maintenance dose.
*1 bottle = 100 day supply for the maintenance dose and 50 day supply for the treatment dose.
Warning: As with any THING that contains glycyrrhizin, make sure to monitor blood pressure regularly while using this product.
Not to be taken by pregnant or lactating women. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Keep out of reach of children.
What is Glycyrrhizin?
The most studied plant for its anti-viral and anti-hepatotoxic effects is licorice root (glycyrrhizic acid or glycyrhhizin).
The medicinal use of licorice in both western and eastern medicine dates back several thousand years and licorice continues to
be one of the most popular components of Chinese medicine. Licorice exerts many pharmacological actions beneficial in the
treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis, including: Antihepatotoxic effects Immune-enhancing actions Anti-inflammatory Anti-cancer
Anti-viral ( viral hepatitis) Potentiation of interferon Antiviral effects acting as a choleretic Clinical studies with a
glycyrrhizin-based product in Japan have shown excellent results in the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis.
This formula has been shown to improve liver function and lower levels of liver enzymes.
Ingredients:
This formula, consists of 200 mg of glycyrrhizin,
100 mg L-cysteine and 2,000 mg of Glycine.
Glycine and L-cysteine modulate Glycyrrhizin's actions. Glycine has been shown to prevent the
aldosterone effects of Glycyrrhizin, while L-cysteine aids in the liver in detoxification reactions. These quantities are administered
in the product, HepaGlycyrrhizic™. The formula has demonstrated results in treating chronic hepatitis due to either B or C viruses.
With either virus, approximately 40% of users will have complete resolution. Glycyrrhizin is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
The goal is to achieve a high level of Glycyrrhizin in the blood without producing large side-effects.
Because Glycyrrhizin products
may cause water retention, hypertension, hypokalemia, and suppression of the rennin-aldosterone system, monitoring blood pressure is essential.
L-Cysteine is an Amino Acid that helps support healthy liver and promotes healing.
L-Cysteine helps to detoxify harmful toxins and protect
the body from radiation damage. It is one of the best free radical destroyers, helping detoxify the liver by binding with potentially harmful
substances there. It helps to protect the liver and brain from damage due to alcohol, drugs, and toxic compounds in cigarette smoke.
L-Cysteine also has anti-aging effects on the body-reducing the accumulation of age spots. It also promotes healing after surgery and severe
burns, and promotes burning of fat and building of muscle.Because of its ability to break down mucus in the respiratory tract, L-cysteine is often
beneficial in the treatment of bronchitis, emphysema, and tuberculosis. It promotes healing from respiratory disorders and plays an important role in the
activity of white blood cells, which fight disease.
Methionine and L- cysteine have a protective effect on glutathione and prevent depletion during toxic
overload. This, in turn, protects the liver from the damaging effects of toxic compounds and promotes their elimination.
Glycine is an Amino acid that supports detoxification and improves liver and kidney function. Several amino acids are used to combine with and neutralize toxins.
Of these, glycine is the most commonly utilized in detoxification. Patients suffering from hepatitis, alcoholic liver disorders, carcinomas, chronic arthritis,
hypothyroidism, and excessive chemical exposure are commonly found to have a poorly functioning amino acid conjugation system. Even in apparently normal adults,
a wide variation exists in the activity of the glycine conjugation pathway. This is due not only to genetic variation, but also to the availability
of glycine in the liver. Glycine and other amino acids used for conjugation become deficient on a low-protein diet and when chronic exposure to
toxins happens that results in depletion.
Supplementation with glycine, however, has been shown to support healthy kidney and liver function as well as nervous system health.. In another human trial, glycine, acting as an inhibitory amino acid, had neuroprotective effects. Glycine has also been shown to maintain healthy cytokine production during times of metabolic stress.
