Product Overview
HepataGest is a multi-mineral, nutritional, amino acid, and botanical support of healthy liver phases 1, 2, and 3 with Theobroma Cacao Powder.*
Detoxification occurs in two sequential steps: Phase I and Phase II. Phase I P450 enzymes convert toxins into water-soluble intermediates; Phase II conjugation enzymes transform these intermediates into compounds that can be excreted via the kidneys or bile.
Phase I intermediate metabolites can be 60 times more toxic than their fat-soluble precursors. These water-soluble intermediates combine with oxygen, creating free radicals that cause extensive damage to the liver and other body cells. A balance of Phase I and Phase II enzymes is crucial for efficient and safe detoxification processes.
This complex system converts and biotransforms toxic fat-soluble molecules into non-toxic, water-soluble molecules for rapid excretion. Complex nutrients and botanical co-factors specific to each phase are necessary to ensure accurate conversion.
Inadequate Phase II liver detoxification is standard in cases of long-term xenobiotic exposure, where nutritional factors required for conjugation are depleted. The slow release of these toxins into the bloodstream is a significant factor in developing chronic disease.
Essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids provide nourishment to the body in this phase and may be supportive in the repair of damaged tissues. Specific amino acids support Phase II conjugation enzymes, while plant polyphenols provide intense antioxidant support to neutralize damage caused by Phase I-created intermediate metabolites.
The liver and gallbladder protective and restorative botanicals included in this formula may assist with ongoing decongestion and repair. One container of HepataGest lasts for one month and provides an economical and efficient approach for hepatic biotransformation and gentle detoxification.
