Sofcanis Hepatique

Specifications

• Properties

  SOFCANIS Hépatique is a Silybin-phospholipid complex, associated with vitamin E and Zinc.
  
  Silybin is the substance of choice for supporting liver function:
  
  - through its direct anti-oxidant action,
  - by stimulating the regeneration of liver cells thanks to its ability to facilitate protein synthesis,
  - by helping to normalize the level of liver enzymes,
  - by its ability to selectively increase the hepatic level of glutathione and to oppose the production of lipid peroxides,
  - by its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties which help inhibit collagen synthesis,
  - by stimulation of the production of bile salts and their influx.
  
  The bioavailability of Silybin is maximized by its complexation with phospholipids (Phytosome® technique), including phosphatidylcholine which has its own hepato-protective action: this choline reservoir is a natural constituent of bile, which emulsifies lipids and allows their hydrolysis, thus opposing hepatic steatosis.
  
  Phosphatidylcholine is capable of being selectively incorporated into hepatocyte membranes and making them more resistant to lipid peroxidation. Its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis properties are added to those of Silybin.
  
  Vitamin E, likewise, protects the phospholipids of cell membranes from lipid peroxidation by forming stabilizing complexes that prevent very destructive chain reactions. This anti-fibrosis activity acts in synergy with those of Silybin and phosphatidylcholine and has been validated in human practice.
  
  Zinc is present for its ability to contain oxidative stress by maintaining an appropriate level of cellular metallothionein involved in the elimination of free radicals.
  

• Use

  In dogs: support for liver function in cases of chronic liver failure.

• Manual
