HEPATRON® 85 %

What is Hepatron® 85 %?
The functional component of the product Hepatron® 85 % is betaine. Betaine or trimethylglycine is a methylated derivative of glycine; a bipolar molecule with three methyl groups (CH3). Hepatron® 85 % is the optimized combination of two different betaine sources:
1) Betaine hydrochloride - To fulfill the important function as methyl group donor.
2) Betaine anhydrous - Also for covering the function as a methyl group donor. Additionally, it is able to offer highly effective physiological benefits due to its osmoregulatory effects.
Hepatron® 85 % combines these different sources in the best way, for optimal nutritional and economic advantages in animal production.

Function 1: Methyl group donor
The methyl groups of betaine are removable and thereby Hepatron® 85 % is able to work as a methyl group donor. The donation of methyl groups is important for proper liver function, cellular replication, and detoxification reactions. It also plays a role in the production of carnitine and kidney protection. As a methyl group donor, betaine is more efficient
than choline chloride. Applying Hepatron® 85 %, the addition of choline chloride becomes unnecessary provided that the ingredients supply sufficient endogenous choline to
meet the animals´s requirements. Individual Hepatron® 85 % inclusion rates can be calculated, depending on customer´s diets.

Function 2: Osmoregulation
Betaine accumulates in the cells, stabilizes the water balance and protects the intestinal cells against dehydration!

Support of intestinal stability and functionality
1) Healthy intestinal mucosa
2) Optimum nutrient intake
3) Supporting coccidiostats´effect
4) Drier litter

Positive influence on the carcass
1) Increased breast meat and less abdominal fat contents
2) Decreased drip losses

Less energy requirement for maintaining cell metabolism
1) More energy can be used for extra growth
