Despite the escalating health awareness in our culture, it is unbelievable how very little consideration is given to the liver and its vitality in our considerations about health and disease. The liver is the largest organ in the body, demanding 12% of all your body's energy, filtering over 600 gallons of blood each day, and performing more than 500 different tasks in regulating metabolism. Numerous chronic physical and mental disorders are the direct result of an overloaded liver filled with toxic food fragments, synthetic drugs, fats, chemicals, and environmental toxins.
|
And yet, the environmental stressors placed upon the liver today are beyond compare. Prescription medications, pollution, alcohol, and the daily self-subjection to nutritionally inferior foods leaks into all facets of modern existence, slowly choking the liver until it begins to manifest its deficiencies throughout the body.
Hepato Pure was carefully formulated to breathe life into impaired and damaged liver tissues, restoring vitality, regenerating cellular function, and stimulating growth of healthy new liver cells. Additionally, Hepato Pure's deep cleansing effects upon the liver act as a detoxifier for general and preventative maintenance.

 |
Key-note ingredients in Hepato Pure consist of a trio of cold-processed organic mushroom extracts; Reishi, Turkey Tail, and Shitake mushrooms have been extensively researched for their powerful regenerative effects on the liver, as well as their efficacy in augmenting the body's immune system in times of distress. Other supporting herbal ingredients such as milk thistle, artichoke leaf and turmeric root, compliment this formulation by providing general liver support and stimulating the flow of bile throughout the liver.
Hepato Pure offers a concentrated herbal formulation to all those seeking to restore or support optimal liver function.

| Shitake Mushroom Overview: While Shitake remains one of the oldest and most highly revered mushrooms in Asian pharmacopoeia for its extensive therapeutic value, its emergence in Western science didn't occur until about 1969. Early research studies on Shitake extract administered to mice implanted with Sarcoma 180 (highly malignant cancer cells) demonstrated high rates of tumor inhibition (72% to 92%), and in 60% of the mice the cancerous cells subsided altogether. These studies identified a polysaccharide now known as lentinan, as the key component responsible for the anti-tumor effects. In Japan, Shitake extracts have been utilized for enhancement and support of immune system function in cancer patients during chemotherapy, often resulting in mitigation of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy. Other compelling research shows marked benefits in aggressive protection and regeneration of liver cells. Shitake mushroom is the most widely cultivated mushroom in the world. |
