Liver protection tablets are beneficial for liver care. They protect the liver, reduce enzymes and repair damaged liver cells. We know that drinking is particularly harmful to the liver. Some people like to take liver protection tablets before drinking. This is a self-deceptive psychological comfort, because alcohol needs to be metabolized by the liver. In order to achieve the effect of liver protection, you should first quit drinking. For people who drink for a long time, you must pay attention to changes in your body.

Is it useful to take liver protection tablets before drinking?

Taking liver protection tablets before drinking is just a kind of "self-deception" psychological comfort for drinkers. Because alcohol needs to be metabolized through the liver, and drugs also need to be metabolized through the liver, if both enter the liver at the same time, it will increase the burden on the liver and damage liver function. Therefore, if you want to protect your liver, the key is to quit drinking. People who drink alcohol for a long time should pay special attention to changes in their bodies. If you experience vomiting, pain in the right upper abdomen, or a thinner, yellower face, you should be careful about liver disease. However, many patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis may not have any symptoms in the early stages. Therefore, people who drink alcohol for a long time should pay attention to regular liver function tests. Before drinking, you can eat some meat or drink milk to use the indigestible property of the fat in the food to protect your stomach, thereby preventing alcohol from penetrating the stomach wall and slowing down the rate at which alcohol enters the blood.

The efficacy and function of liver protection tablets

1. Protect liver and reduce enzymes

It can significantly reduce the increase in serum alanine aminotransferase activity caused by acute and chronic liver damage in animals caused by chemical poisons, and at the same time alleviate the liver cell damage caused by this.

2. Repair damaged liver cells

Liver protection tablets have the functions of promoting the synthesis of liver glycogen and protein in the liver; promoting the synthesis of liver cell DNA and inhibiting the synthesis of extracellular matrix; resisting cell oxidation and aging, and improving the survival rate of liver cells; protecting the integrity of cell membranes and stabilizing organelle membranes; and reducing the inflammatory response of liver cells.

3. Inhibit fibrosis

Liver protection tablets can inhibit fiber proliferation and promote fiber absorption, thereby blocking liver cell fibrosis.

4. Enhance liver detoxification ability

Induce liver drug enzymes, significantly increase their content, promote the synthesis of liver drug enzymes and enhance the activity of liver drug enzymes. Inhibit β-glucuronidase activity and reduce the decomposition of glucuronic acid.

5. Inhibit fatty degeneration of liver cells

This is achieved by lowering blood lipids, promoting lipid metabolism, lowering cholesterol, promoting digestion and absorption, and promoting bile secretion and excretion.
