(HEPA PLUS* IN CANADA)

If you’ve read The Healthy Home—the New York Times bestseller written by USANA founder Dr. Myron Wentz and USANA CEO Dave Wentz—you realize that there are so many more toxins in our environment than we ever would have imagined: PTFE from non-stick cookware, BPA from plastics, parabens and chemicals in personal care products,VOC’s from what we use to paint our house or what we store in the garage, and chemicals from our cleaning supplies.

And on top of that, the things we ingest can be laden with chemicals or non-beneficial contaminants—medications, alcohol, pesticides from our produce or trans fats and sugars in our favorite foods. The short story is, you are exposed to a lot of things that were not a part of our original, natural environment.

And all of that stuff gets filtered through your liver.

Your liver is a hard-working and highly effective filtration system (in addition to the many other functions it serves). Think of it as an amped up washing machine. Essentially, it keeps things clean by converting nutrients we consume into forms that can be used by the body and packaging up toxins and wastes into forms that can be eliminated.

And because your liver could be exposed to way more toxins now than ever, giving it some extra support every day is a good idea.

Adding USANA’s patent-pending Hepasil DTX liver support supplement to your daily routine is one of the best choices you can make for aiding your natural detoxification processes.*   In Canada, the product is called HEPA PLUS*

Two Ways Patent-Pending Hepasil DTX™ Liver Support Formula is Superior

Nutritional Hybrid Technology retains potency

Alpha lipoic acid is an awesome nutrient. It’s a fat- and water-soluble antioxidant that also activates our Phase II detoxification systems (in addition to other activities).

It’s also a tricky nutrient. When combined with N-acetyl L-cysteine in particular, another excellent nutrient for liver support, alpha lipoic acid just breaks down and disappears from a formula.

They don’t play nice with each other.

That’s why USANA scientists separated them in our Hepasil DTX tablet by using Nutritional Hybrid Technology, and that’s why it’s patent-pending. By delivering those two nutrients in distinctly separate layers of the tablet, you get all the potency of both because they are not reacting with each other and diminishing their effectiveness!

Clinically Shown to Support Healthy Detoxification and Antioxidant Activity

Hepasil DTX is full of nutrients that are superstars when it comes to supporting liver health and our natural detoxification processes.*

• Milk thistle extract supports liver cell health and scavenges free radicals *
• Choline helps ensure fats don’t get stuck in the liver *
• N-acetyl L-cysteine is a precursor to one of our innate antioxidants, glutathione*
• Alpha lipoic acid is also a precursor to glutathione and it supports Phase II detoxification reactions*
• Patented Olivol® olive fruit extract plus broccoli extract, green tea extract, and turmeric provide excellent antioxidant support, which is crucial for liver health because the detoxification process generates a lot of damaging free radicals*

This unique combination of ingredients has been clinically shown to increase the production of glutathione and overall antioxidant capacity (vitamin C in particular) in the body.

This is important because glutathione supports many aspects of your health. In the liver specifically, it is important because it basically binds to toxin molecules and converts them into forms that can be eliminated from the body.

It’s sort of like packing up the trash so it’s ready to be picked up by the garbage man. Vitamin C also fills a similar role when it comes to supporting healthy detoxification.*

By taking three Hepasil DTX tablets a day for just 28 days, you can help increase these important nutrients in your own body to help ensure your liver is prepared to keep dealing with all the substances you encounter in your life every day.
