Life Extension HepatoPro, polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine, 900 mg, Supports a Healthy Liver and detoxification, Protects Against oxidative Stress, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, 60 softgels

This product combined with TUDCA provides excellent liver protection during a pro hormone cycle. This is a great price compared to other ppc products. This is polyunsaturated ppc. Web MD says polyunsaturated ppc is used to treat liver problems. Swanson has ppc at a great price on Amazon but is not polyunsaturated so I am using Life Extension Hepatopro. Phosphatidylcholine 420 mg 200 Sgels by Swanson Premium Polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC). Phosphatidylcholine is produced in the liver through a process involving SAMe. Supplementing alcohol-treated rats or baboons with PPC during alcohol feeding prevents the depletion of SAMe (Aleynik 2003). In rats, PPC treatment accelerated regression of preexisting fibrosis (Ma 1996). In a baboon study, none of the animals fed 2.8 g PPC per 1,000 calories (about 2 g daily per 20 kg body weight) developed fibrosis or cirrhosis, even after 6.5 years of alcohol feeding, whereas 10 out of 12 untreated baboons developed fibrosis or cirrhosis (Lieber 1994). In addition to preventing alcohol-induced oxidative stress, PPC stimulates the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of liver collagen (Lieber 1994). Among humans, two years of treatment of alcoholic cirrhosis patients with 4.5 g daily of PPC resulted in favorable changes in two blood parameters of liver damage, bilirubin and liver transaminases, among certain subgroups. Fibrosis, however, continued to progress, leading the authors to conclude that while PPC is effective in preventing liver damage among animals, it is less effective among humans with long histories of drinking (Lieber 2003) Life Extension Suggestions Polyenylphosphatidylcholine (PPC): 1800 - 2700 mg daily 2 pills a day combined with Aegis, TUDCA and Fish Oil should give me the protection I need for my liver on a pro hormone cycle. Does anyone know if polyunsaturated ppc is better than ppc?

I knew for a while that the Patricia Kane protocol involved her expensive phosphatidylcholine. I didn't understand why hers was more expensive, so I didn't take it, until I finally learned why hers was different (something about liposomes) and took it, and wow... it is much better. Really helped me to detox mold/biotoxins. However, it's expensive. I was looking for another one that cost less. This one seemed good since it's also a good form of PC. I read about it on limbic retraining site. It is great. Helps me detox. I take 1-2 of these and 4 bodybio PCs a day, during intense biotoxin detox treatment.

There are cheaper alternatives, but seems to be better quality than others. Does it help with liver function? Who knows?

Not sure how to write this review... i took this supplement because my latest lab result showed "fatty liver".. I DONT drink so i figure my diet had to change... i have changed my diet but adding this supplement has tremendously slowed down my hairloss to almost none...i also do NOT feel bloated after eating a heavy meal.. this supplement is intended to help support the liver but does so much more..at least for me... my skin is also much more clear and glowing... definetly works... a little pricey but so far so good. I have another blood work and ultra sound for my liver in 2 months.. I will keep taking and see if my "fatty liver" goes away or is minimized.

You get the same thing from lecithin. This carries a premium price because it is highly refined.

I started taking Hepatopro three weeks ago because I wondered if my metabolism has been progressively slowing down due to age and intake choices. And so far I've lost 7 lbs! And if that's what I CAN see, I wonder how and where else Hepatopro is working in my body. I know at the very least it is feeding my self esteem.

Before I was recently cured of Hep. C Liver Disease, I used this product, along with European Milk Thisle (Life Extension), and several other products which by the grace of God, kept he disease in check until approved for medical medicine. There is no guarantee that any products or medicine will provide a cure, but, one must at least try.

This is the only polyunsaturated product I can find. It was recommended to get this brand since the others are a waste of money.The potency per softgel is the highest and the product is basically without any other ingredients. However, the softgels leak and get coated with what I assume is lecithin bleeding through. Also while I think it is the best product, I also feel it is very high priced.
