What is HEP
Introduction
HEP-40 is a natural cholesterol-lowering product that is ideally suited as a dietary supplement. The product is a low molecular weight chitosan that has been shown to be more effective than any other natural product in lowering cholesterol.
 
The active ingredient is HEP-40, an acronym that stands for: enzymatically hydrolyzed polychitosamine with a molecular weight of approximately 40,000 Daltons. This product is derived from food grade chitosan—a fiber that is obtained from the exoskeletons of shellfish, that has been highly deacetylated.
 
HEP-40 provides a safe approach to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels for those people who are at the high end of the normal range. It reduces LDL-C levels without negatively impacting HDL-C (good cholesterol), and can delay the need for pharmaceutical drugs. It is ideally suited for long-term, continuous use.
