Heparol Plus is a combination of nutritional ingredients that will help optimize the functions of heart, muscles, liver and the gastrointestinal tract. Sorbitol and magnesium have laxative properties, thus helping eliminate toxic products from the gastrointestinal canal. Carnitine, betaine, choline and D-panthenol are key metabolites involved in this elimination process. Carnitine is an amino acid derivative which is an essential cofactor in fatty acid metabolism. Betaine is active in relieving gastrointestinal disturbances and together with methionine has a role in the syntheses of carnitine. Panthenol is a precursor of vitamin B5 which is a component of coenzyme A. Coenzyme A is essential in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential vitamin that helps to protect the body against oxidative stress, supports wound healing and helps prevent capillary bleeding.
