Liver Damage Relief

Liver Damage Relief

Antrodia camphorata mushroom mycelium powder helps protect against alcohol-induced liver damage. When tested in mice over 6 weeks, the mushroom supplement significantly reduced key markers of liver injury. It also decreased inflammation scores by nearly 50% compared to untreated mice and reduced fatty buildup in liver tissue by over 20%. Importantly, the mushroom performed similarly to silymarin, a well-known liver protective drug, but is natural and can be used as a food supplement.
