4YOUR HEPA: powerful substances for the liver
Liver complex with six components
“That’s really getting to me!” – this saying isn’t just a figure of speech, because the liver is the largest and most important detoxification organ in the human body. It has to work hard whenever we ingest potentially harmful substances. These substances include not only alcohol, nicotine, and toxic chemicals, but also sugar and dietary fat. (Excessive sugar and fat consumption can be almost as toxic as alcohol.) No wonder that 25 percent of all people over 40 have so-called “non-alcoholic fatty liver disease” (NAFLD) [1]! While alcohol consumption and high sugar and fat intake are generally not an issue for bodybuilders, they often burden their livers with medications (painkillers or anabolic steroids).
Milk thistle extract and N-acetylstone: a powerful duo
The liver of adults, especially bodybuilders, can therefore benefit from support. One of the best-known plant substances in the context of liver health is milk thistle extract: Milk thistle was valued in monasteries as early as the Middle Ages; its use for digestive problems is well documented [2]. N-acetylcysteine (also called N-acetyl-cysteine or NAC) is at least as popular: This chemical compound was developed in the 1960s to loosen mucus in respiratory diseases and is at least as well-known as Aspirin®. Today, it is known that N-acetylcysteine is primarily deacetylated in the liver and has been shown to have high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential [3].
4YourHepa – synergistic composition
4YourHepa is a six-component dietary supplement. The formula is designed so that the individual components complement each other effectively. The formula includes
- Milk thistle extract,
- N-Acetyl-Cysteine,
- Methionine (an essential sulfur-containing amino acid),
- Choline (an ammonium compound that contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function),
- Betaine (an oxidation product of choline that contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism [4]) and
- Black pepper extract (an alkaloid that increases the bioavailability of orally administered substances).
Application and dosage
The recommended daily dose is 3 capsules. Since each pack contains 90 capsules, one pack lasts for a whole month. The capsules should be taken throughout the day with some water, preferably with meals.
