Essential phospholipids are vital for cell and liver health. 2
Essentiale® Extreme contains a high concentration of 300 mg of essential phospholipids (EPLs) in each
capsule. 1 EPLs are the building blocks of every cell in your body forming the membranes around them. 2
The organ that is subject to more membrane damage than any other is the liver. Cell membrane damage is
associated with low EPL levels, leading to poor liver function. The use of chronic medicine, certain diseases
along with food and alcohol overindulgence can all have an impact on your liver health. 3 Therefore EPLs are
vital for cell and liver health and play a major role in your body’s detoxification process. 2
Essentiale® Extreme 2 capsules 3 times a day. 1

Essentiale Extreme is not intended to treat or cure liver disease and should be used in conjunction with lifestyle modification and health care professional consultation when necessary.
