When should Hepatogen be used to support liver function in dogs and cats?
In both cats and dogs, the liver plays a central role in toxin management, nutrient metabolism and overall body balance. When this organ is called upon for prolonged periods, or when an evolution becomes worrying, targeted support can help boost its natural defense capacities. This supplement has been designed to respond to these situations, providing active ingredients recognized for supporting liver function and helping the body to better cope with internal aggressions.
The liver can be compared to a miniature purification plant: it continuously filters, transforms and eliminates. Silybin, derived from milk thistle, acts as a real shield for liver cells. It helps limit oxidation, promotes the production of new proteins and supports cell regeneration, as if helping a weakened wall to rebuild itself brick by brick.
When combined with phospholipids, as in this veterinary supplement, silybin becomes more easily assimilated. These phospholipids integrate into the membranes of liver cells, reinforcing their resistance like an extra layer of insulation. This combination also contributes to better fat management, helping to protect liver cells against lipid accumulation.
The formula is completed by vitamin E and zinc, two key players in the fight against oxidative stress. They act synergistically to neutralize free radicals and preserve the integrity of cell membranes, helping to support balanced liver function over the long term.
Because chronic inflammation can slow down repair mechanisms, a curcumin-phospholipid complex and a gastro-protective superoxide dismutase reinforce the whole. This combination encourages the production of glutathione, a major antioxidant in the body, and helps promote liver comfort during periods of fragility.
Compatible with the diets of animals suffering from cardiac or renal insufficiency, this supplement is easy to integrate into daily life. The tablets are generally taken spontaneously, and can be mixed with food if required. For an alternative approach, Hepagreen Dog & Cat can be used to combine liver support and digestive support in synergy.
