Therapeutic Category : Lipid Lowering & Anti-obesity
Actions
The botanicals in Lophat tablets synergize to lower blood lipids by acting at two principle sites, namely, the intestines and
the liver.
In the intestines, psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid and guggula-resins sequester bile acids and thereby reduce sequestration, micelle formation & absorption of dietary lipids.
In the liver, soluble psyllium fibers, Lasuna (allicin) and Amla impede hepatic lipid biosynthesis. Kutki, an established cholagogue, enhances diversion of hepatic cholesterol pool towards conversion to bile acids & enhances biliary excretion, which in turn being sequestered by psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid and guggula-resins in the intestines, are not re-absorbable in the colon are excreted through fecal excretion causing a net drain of cholesterol & lipids from systemic circulation.
