ICF Epato 1500, 32 Tablets, Dog

A phytotherapeutic product  containing silymarin and MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides). Silymarin is obtained from the plant Silybum marianum (milk thistle) and works through various mechanisms:

• it stimulates the production of SOD, an enzyme that protects the lipids of the cell and ribosomal membranes
• it prevents the disorders that normally occur in the case of liver degeneration caused by oxidative stress
• it increases the removal/distribution of reduced and total glutathione, thereby improving the detoxifying capacity of the liver
• it increases the synthesis of ribosomal RNA and in this way increases and improves the regeneration of the liver
• it normalises lipidaemia
• it inhibits COX-2, an enzyme that transforms arachidonic acid into prostaglandin (PGE 2), and reduces inflammation

An important role in the composition of Epato is played by MOS produced by breaking down the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This also yields beta-glucans, which improve
the production of T- and B-lymphocytes and macrophages and stimulate the immune system. These are resistant starches that can easily enter the large intestine in an intact form, where they are readily fermented by „good“ bacteria such as Bifidobacterium. Other microorganisms, such as eubacteria or clostridia, are not able to make use of the oligosaccharides. This preferential fermentation pattern therefore offers many benefits in supporting beneficial intestinal bacteria!
For the reasons stated, Epato is:

• excellent for primary and secondary liver diseases
• it helps the liver during long-term therapy with antibiotics and antifungals
• it helps the liver during therapy against leishmaniasis and ehrlichiosis
• the increasing cellular response boosts the appetite
• it helps in managing antiepileptic medicines, because it prevents self-intoxication
• it reduces inflammation of the liver
• it contains MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides), which help the liver in its cleansing function
• it normalises lipidaemia, cholesterol and triglycerides
• it increases the detoxifying capacity of the liver

It has no side effects

How to use Epato:
