The liver plays a very important part in the metabolism of fats, in the production of the lipo proteins (molecules associated with proteins and fatty acids) and in the burning of fats to produce energy. Finally this organ converts excess food and calories into fat, which is then stored in the fat tissues of the body, causing an increase in weight and obesity.

Hercampuri is a medicinal plant, used as a blood purifier and to stimulate the production of bile, as well as to reduce body fat.

Clinical trials using Hercampuri have shown a strong tendency to act as a hypocholesterolemic (a reducer of cholesterol), possibly due to the quantity of bitter principles it contains. Potent bitters, containing iridoid glycosides, stimulate bile secretion and the production of stomach acids, thereby improving digestion and encouraging the reduction of blood cholesterol.

Hercampuri is also a blood detoxifier that helps to eliminate lipids in the blood, as well as improving circulation, and due to its diuretic action, can be used to normalize blood pressure.

Completed studies suggest that Hercampuri improves liver functions and reduces excess fat; which implies that it can be used to help control weight. Hercampuri helps to energize the liver by balancing the metabolism and improving circulation.

The best-known components of Hercampuri are: Eritaturin (bitter substance of the glycoside type), amarogentin, sugars, gentianic acid, sugars, volatile oils, mucilage tannins and hemicellulose.

An extremely important component is saponines, substances that act on cholesterol at level of the intestinal tract, forming an insoluble compound and restricting the absorption of cholesterol into the blood stream.

Hercampuri also contains mucilage tannins, which increase the metabolism and encourage the bitter properties to intensify the production of bile, and, together with the enhanced liver functions, limit the absorption of cholesterol into the body.
