Alcohol-induced liver damage
Research has shown that after one consumes alcohol, a toxic compound called acetaldehyde (AH) is formed in the liver. AH generates millions of free radicals which, in turn, attack the liver. B-1, C and N-Acetyl-Cysteine helps protect and defend the body from AH damage. For those occasions when you do decide to consume alcohol, B-1, C, and N-Acetyl-Cysteine is your best nutritional protection.
Acetaldehyde is one of the most common neurotoxins in the lives of tens of millions of people. It is a simple substance: its chemical formula is CH3CHO, yet acetaldehyde insidiously promotes damage to brain structure and function through numerous pathways.
There are four main routes that bring acetaldehyde (abbreviated here as AH) into the human brain. These are alcohol consumption, Candida the yeast syndrome, exhaust from cars and trucks, and cigarette smoking. Ethanol (more commonly known as alcohol) is the chemical contained in beer, wine, liquor and liqueurs responsible for intoxication. These beverages serve as carriers to get ethanol into the drinkers brain, promoting some degree of intoxication. Once in the body, alcohol is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. However, this process takes time and occurs in several steps. The first step occurs primarily in the liver, although other organs such as the brain and kidney can also perform this stage of alcohol detoxification to a slight extent. An enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase converts alcohol into AH. Then another enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase must break the AH down into acetate. Acetate can then serve as a fuel in cellular energy production. (Acetate is a form of acetic acid, the acid that makes vinegar sour.) However, the conversion of AH to acetate does not always occur quickly or smoothly and therein lies the problem.
