How it works
Reheptin Tablet is a combination of beneficial nutritional supplements including Metadoxine, pyridoxine, Folic acid, L-Ornithine L-Aspartate and Silymarin: Metadoxine works by eliminating alcohol from your body and reducing the toxic effects of alcohol. Pyridoxine is essential for maintaining various important functions in the body including glucose and amino acid metabolism, production of red blood cells, proper functioning of the nervous system, etc. Folic Acid is essential for the production of certain vital components that are necessary for the maintenance of normal body functions. L-Ornithine L-Aspartate works by facilitating the process of detoxification and regeneration of liver cells affected by liver problems caused due to various factors. Silymarin acts as a liver cell protectant and prevents liver damage.
