3. What is good for nourishing and protecting the liver?
The liver likes to eat sugar. Most people don't know that sugar is an important substance to protect the liver.
Each gram of glucose can provide about 70% of the energy needed by the human body. If a person is in a state of lack of energy for a long time, it will affect the liver function. Sugar can also synthesize a substance called hepatic glycogen, which is stored in the liver to prevent the damage of toxins ingested into the body to liver cells.
Vitamin A can resist liver cancer, and the liver is the "warehouse" for storing vitamins. When the liver is damaged, the ability of the "warehouse" to store vitamins will also decrease.
Studies have shown that vitamin A can protect the liver and prevent and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the liver. It can restore normal tissue function and help chemotherapy patients reduce the recurrence rate of cancer.
B vitamins are like oil depots in the body, which can accelerate the metabolism of substances and convert them into energy, not only refuel the liver, but also repair the liver function and prevent fatty degeneration of the liver, thus playing a role in preventing fatty liver. People who love to drink especially need to drink more.

Tihengjian brand Gan Yang tablets are synthesized from trace element selenium, and the immune function of patients with liver disease is generally low. The most obvious manifestation is that it is difficult to completely remove the virus in the body, and the disease is easy to recur.
Selenium is a powerful immunomodulator, which can enhance the immune function of the body and improve the disease resistance of the liver, thus helping to prevent the recurrence of liver disease. In addition, the enhancement of immune function is beneficial to improve various symptoms of patients with liver disease. For example, selenium supplementation for patients with hepatitis A and hepatitis B can greatly improve symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue and dull complexion in a relatively short period of time.
