About Us...

Once upon a time...
Maria met Carrie in an Interferon drug trial program...

"Yippee!
Someone like me!"

They suffered very scary side effects, but they endured and finished the program. The Hep C virus was no longer detectable.

"Yeah! We're cured. It was worth it, let's celebrate!"

Little did they know the wicked virus laid in wait gathering strength and attacked them both again with a new vengeance.

"What is to become of us now? Are there no alternatives?"
But their friendship had grown stronger too. They vowed to never give up! Maria and Carrie set out on a journey to find alternatives. They embraced vitamins and herbs.

"This helps a lot, but it's expensive and complicated. There must be a better way!"
"What if we developed our own combination of vitamins and herbs? They would be high quality and high potency, but low cost and aimed specifically at our Hep C symptoms?"
They spent many months researching and testing to find the right combinations that worked effectively to manage the powerful virus.

EUREKA! Hep Helper was born!
With Hep Helper, improved diets, exercise, and lots of water, they offer affirmations. "We will manage this monster until the cure is real. We will survive and thrive!"

Indeed they did, and so can you! If you have Hep C, love your liver, don't give up! If you know someone with Hep C, love your liver, don't give up on us!
