23684

Diseases of the liver and biliary system bring many problems to the human body. Usually these pathologies are accompanied by poor appetite, stool disturbances and pain in the right hypochondrium.

For these diseases, doctors recommend taking medications based on herbal raw materials. One such remedy is Holiver. The medicine has a mild and gentle effect on the body, but at the same time it is quite effective.

Pharmacological properties of the drug Holiver

The drug helps to increase the secretory function of hepatocytes, which is manifested by increased bile secretion (moderate choleretic effect) and stimulation of the synthesis of bile acids. Reflexively increases the motor-secretory function of the digestive tract, inhibiting fermentation processes in the intestines. With regular use of the drug, the detoxifying ability of the liver increases. Holiver's action is due to the properties of biologically active substances contained in bile extract (cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids, bile pigments, cholesterol) and extracts of medicinal plants - artichoke (Cynara scolymus) and turmeric (Curcuma longa). Bile acids increase the secretion of bile, which increases the absorption of fats, cholesterol, vitamins A, D, E and K. Bile stimulates intestinal motility and has antiseptic properties. Artichoke has a choleretic and diuretic effect, reduces urea levels in the blood, normalizes metabolism, has hepatoprotective properties, and helps eliminate toxins. Turmeric longa has an antiulcer effect, stimulates the formation of bile in the liver and its outflow, eliminates the feeling of heaviness and flatulence after eating, and regulates the digestion process. Turmeric helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood and also has an antimicrobial effect in intestinal dysbiosis.
