With the change of lifestyle, the increase of entertainment and communication, bad living habits such as long-term heavy drinking, the number of patients with alcoholic liver disease is increasing year by year, and about 70% of patients with alcoholic liver disease have industry characteristics.

Many business people, salespersons, businessmen and other groups are high-risk groups of the disease.

Although there are more and more patients with alcoholic liver disease, because alcoholic liver disease has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, many people do not pay attention to it in life.

In fact, if the early alcoholic liver is not treated in time, it will progress to moderate to severe alcoholic liver, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, fatigue, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal distension and other systemic symptoms, which will increase the risk of liver cancer.

Glutathione is an inherent endogenous substance in the human body, which is formed by condensation of γ-glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine.

Glutathione widely exists in various tissue cells of the human body and plays an important role in maintaining cell functions.

Under pathological conditions, endogenous Glutathione decreases, and timely supplementation of exogenous Glutathione can restore the activity of Glutathione enzymes, thereby protecting normal cells.

Glutathione participates in various biochemical reactions such as transport, metabolic storage, and defense:

1. Participate in important metabolic processes in the body (such as tricarboxylic acid cycle, glucose metabolism, amino acid transport, etc.).

2. Participate in the metabolism of compounds, drugs and hormones (such as insulin, estrogen, prostaglandin).

3. Participate in the synthesis and repair of DNA, RNA and protein.

Glutathione has multiple mechanisms of action to protect liver cells:

1. Anti-hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury

2. Anti-oxidative free radical damage (inflammatory damage)

3. Antagonize exogenous poisons

4. Promote bile acid metabolism

5. Participate in liver transmethylation and transpropylamino reactions

6. Participate in amino acid transport

7. Participate in the regulation of sugar metabolism and DNA synthesis

8. Maintain the immune function of cells

Glutathione helps the liver process toxins and wastes, enhancing the liver's immunity and repair function.
