Optimized Combination
of Betaine Sources.
What is Hepatron® 85%? Function 2: Osmoregulation
The functional component of Hepatron® 85% is betaine. Betaine or Betaine accumulates in the cells, stabilizes the water balance and
trimethylglycine is a methylated derivative of glycine; a bipolar protects the intestinal cells against dehydration!
molecule with three methyl groups (CH3).
Support of intestinal stability and functionality
Hepatron® 85% is the optimized combination of two different Healthy intestinal mucosa
betaine sources:
Betaine hydrochloride - To fulfill the important function as Increased nutrient absorption
methyl group donor.
Support during coccidiosis infections
Betaine anhydrous - Also for covering the function as a methyl
group donor. Additionally, it is able to offer highly effective Less diarrhea and drier litter
physiological benefits due to its osmoregulatory effects.
Positive influence on the carcass
Hepatron® 85% combines these different sources in the best way, for Increased breast meat and less abdominal fat contents
optimal nutritional and economic advantages in animal production.
Decreased drip losses
Function 1: Methyl group donor
The methyl groups of betaine are removable and thereby Less energy requirement for maintaining cell metabolism
Hepatron® 85% works as a methyl group donor. The donation of More energy can be used for extra growth
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.

Many stress factors result in an increased demand for methyl Optimized

groups and betaine is providing them more efficient than combination of
choline chloride. Betaine HCl &
Betaine anhydrous
Applying Hepatron® 85%, the addition of choline chloride
becomes unnecessary provided that the ingredients supply Hepatron® 85%
sufficient endogenous choline to meet the animal´s
requirements.
