Product Description
Your daily choices have a significant impact on your liver, and your liver affects your overall health. Conditions such as diabetes or obesity place additional strain on this vital organ. Regular intake of high-quality essential phospholipids helps strengthen the cell membranes of liver cells.
Essentiale® Max is a plant-based medicinal product used to support liver health. It has regenerative and protective properties, helping to restore liver function and reduce subjective symptoms such as loss of appetite or a feeling of pressure in the upper right abdomen caused by liver damage resulting from an improper diet, exposure to toxic substances, or hepatitis.
What does Essentiale® Max contain?
The active substance consists of phospholipids derived from soya beans (Phospholipidum essentiale) containing (3-sn-phosphatidyl)choline.
Each capsule of Essentiale® Max provides 600 mg of essential soya phospholipids, the highest available dose per capsule.
This formulation supports liver regeneration and may reverse liver damage by inhibiting fatty degeneration and fibrosis. In addition, phospholipids help stabilize cell membranes, prevent lipid peroxidation, and inhibit collagen synthesis.
