Hepatocytes
Hepatocytes are a type of liver cells, the main functional units of the liver, and make up about 80% of all liver cells. They last for about 150 days. Their plasma membranes contain distinct sets of proteins and lipids.
Hepatocytes play a key role in protein synthesis, nutrient metabolism, defense against toxins, alcohol processing, and the metabolism of pharmaceuticals.
A critical mass of functional hepatocytes is thus essential to meet the daily requirements of proper liver function. This is ensured by the regeneration ability of the liver, which allows the replacement of lost hepatocytes by creating new healthy hepatocytes.
ProHumano+ HepatoDefense Capsules combine silybin and phosphatidylcholine, substances that support the regeneration of the liver cells. One ProHumano+ HepatoDefense capsule contains 108 mg of silybin and 216 mg of phosphatidylcholine.

The liver is responsible for over 500 essential functions, the main ones being in the body’s metabolic processes.
