Olimp HepaPlus Sport Edition30 caps.
Olimp Labs HepaPlus Sport Edition is a dietary supplement which is a new version of the preparation HepaPlus, designed for sportsmen and physically active people. The product contains a set of B-group vitamins, high-quality artichoke extracts and L-ornithine. The preparation supports proper functioning of the digestive system, especially liver.
People who practice sports, especially those who build strength and muscle mass should especially take care of liver health. Higher calorie needs and higher energy density of meals increases the burden of the digestive system and stimulates the work of the liver and the pancreas. Liver is an organ which plays as many as 500 important functions, out of which one of the main ones is the organism’s detoxification and elimination of harmful metabolic products, i.a. transformation of ammonia into urea in the ornithine cycle.
L-ornithine - is a non-protein amino acid, functioning as a carrier of carbon atoms and nitrogen in the urea cycle, the process taking place in the liver. Urea cycle is a kind of method of “dealing” of the organism with protein, which is built of amino acids providing the organism with nitrogen. The excess of nitrogen in the form of toxic ammonia needs to be excreted from the organism.
The core of the urea cycle is therefore detoxification of the organism from harmful nitrogen transformations. Ammonia is transformed with the participation of carbon dioxide in carbamoyl phosphate, the carbamoyl group of which is transported to ornithine with the simultaneous production of citrulline. Next, arginine is produced, which is a direct precursor of urea. Urea occurs with the simultaneous regeneration of ornithine, which may be again used in the urea cycle.
Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a plant demonstrating positive influence on the liver. It is the source of many active substances, primarily cynarine, caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid. The most important compound that influences the liver is cynarine - phenolic glycoside with clinically proven pharmacological cholagogic, cholepoietic and hypolipidemic effect by the influence on lipid metabolism. Cynarine stimulates regeneration of the liver’s flesh and demonstrates hepatoprotective properties, i.a. in poisonings with alcohol and carbon disulfide.
Artichoke has regenerative and detoxicating influence on the liver. Its preparations demonstrate the activity decreasing the level of cholesterol and triacylglycerols in blood, supporting at the same time the health of the cardiovascular system. Caffeic and chlorogenic acids present in artichoke have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-free radical effect.
B-group vitamins - thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6 - influence proper functioning of the nervous system and condition proper transformations of homocysteine and protect from its cumulation in the plasma, supporting at the same time the heath of the cardiovascular system.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) in the coenzymatic form, it takes part in the transformations of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. It influences the functioning of internal secretion glands and takes part in the processes of production of nervous stimuli in peripheral nerves. One of the implications for the application of vitamin B1 is liver function disorder.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) takes part in the processes of oxidation and reduction, which are important from the point of view of detoxification processes carried out by the liver. Vitamin B2 influences proper functioning of the eyesight, conditioning transparency of eye tissues. Riboflavin is essential for the transformations of vitamin B6 to its active coenzymatic form and for the synthesis of niacin from tryptophan. Deficiency of this vitamin leads to numerous metabolic disorders and skin lesions.
Niacin (vitamin B3), being the component of NAD and NADP, it creates enzymes from the class of oxidoreductases - dehydrogenases, which take part in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids and in the synthesis of i.a. thyroxine and sex hormones. Niacin has properties decreasing the level of total cholesterol and triglycerides and the properties widening blood vessels.
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) forms coenzyme A (CoA), which is a carrier of acetyl groups, essential in many processes taking place in the organism. It demonstrates positive influence on the state of skin, contributing to maintaining its elasticity and improves the structure of epidermis. Vitamin B5 deficiencies may lead to disorders of the functioning of the digestive and nervous system and disorders of the function of adrenal glands.
Vitamin B6 plays an important role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, regulates energy transformations i.a. by the participation in the processes of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. It takes part in the creation of hemoglobin and decreases the level of homocysteine, having protective influence on the cardiovascular system. By taking part in the transformations of lipids and fatty acids being the components of mucous membranes, vitamin B6 supports optimal regeneration of liver cells.
To sum up, Olimp Labs HepaPlus Sport Edition is a complex preparation, supporting proper work of the liver on many layers. The product is recommended to sportsmen, people taking care of health and in order to support regeneration of this organ in high-protein and high-calorie diet, alcohol abuse and as prophylaxis.
