Wei Kang immediately opened his eyes and looked carefully at the side effects of this abandoned stomach medicine.
"Contains a weak chemical component that can greatly stimulate the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, thus promoting alcohol metabolism in the liver."
"But the content of this chemical component is only one thousandth, which is too low. The side effects were not reflected in clinical trials. Only this component was detected and recorded."
Wei Kang chuckled and opened the system panel.
At this moment, he has been upgraded to Lv6 on the panel.
Level: lv6
Host: Wei Kang
Points: 566
Wei Kang is quite satisfied, this upgrade speed is relatively fast.
It was only about 400 during the new drug launch. Recently, more than 200 people have been added. After subtracting the 100 points used, there are still more than 500, which means that at least 5 side effects can be extracted.
After points are accumulated, the level will be improved, but after points are consumed, the level will still be retained.
Suddenly, a window pops up in the system.
"After the host upgrades to lv10, it can spend 1,000 points to draw a lottery."
"The prizes are divided into five categories: black, white, silver, gold, and color, and are drawn randomly."
Wei Kang was overjoyed. The system points seemed quite valuable and could also be used for lottery draws.
Originally, he thought it was quite easy to get points, and he soon had hundreds of points, and the side effects were only extracted once 100 times, so he felt that the points were quite abundant.
It turns out that most of the points are used in draws, so it’s no wonder. As expected, the system’s original intention is to let him keep gaining points and find ways to let him consume points. Anyway, it won’t let him have too many idle points.
I don’t know what levels and types these colors, gold, silver, white, black, and colored, represent respectively?
Wei Kang rubbed his hands happily, a little eager to try.
Are you really looking forward to the lottery after you reach 1,000 points?
What surprises will there be then?
It's almost impossible to wait.
He was suddenly reluctant to use points to extract side effects.
If you want to save it, use it for lottery draws.
However, they have already found exciting side effects, and they are not short of the 100 points.
It's better to extract it first.
Anyway, the points are growing very fast, and it will take at least a month to reach the goal of 1,000 points.
"System, extract this side effect of promoting alcohol metabolism in the body and create new drugs."
Soon, the system panel emits a soft light.
A prescription is slowly displayed below.
This prescription is still magical. As usual, it changes the proportion of raw materials based on the original prescription and adds some additional ingredients to produce a new chemical ingredient that can greatly stimulate the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. active.
According to scientific explanation, the amount of alcohol a person drinks depends on the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in the body.
Because the main component of wine is ethanol, after a person drinks alcohol, 90% of the ethanol is decomposed into acetaldehyde through alcohol dehydrogenase, and acetaldehyde is metabolized into water and carbon dioxide many times under the action of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, thus making it safe Excreted from the body.
If these two enzymes lack activity in the human body, drinking alcohol can easily lead to alcohol poisoning. If the activity is very strong, alcohol in the body can be metabolized quickly, making it less likely to get drunk.
If a person drinks a lot, it means that the two dehydrogenases in his body are fully functional and highly active, which allows ethanol to be decomposed as quickly as possible and acetaldehyde rarely accumulates in the body.
For people who drink little alcohol, generally speaking, the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in the body lacks activity and cannot metabolize acetaldehyde in the body in a timely manner, resulting in the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the liver.
Acetaldehyde is very harmful to the liver. It can combine with protein molecules in liver cells, causing liver metabolic disorders. It can also cause glutathione in liver cells to decrease, leading to liver cell necrosis, etc., and finally lead to alcohol-induced alcoholism. Hepatitis, alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic cirrhosis can even lead to liver cancer in severe cases.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase, abbreviated as ALDH, plays a vital role in human body's alcohol metabolism.
It is encoded by 7 different genes. Only ALDH1 and ALDH4 can metabolize acetaldehyde. They exist in the cytosol and mitochondria respectively. Only ALDH1 in the cytosol has greater activity and plays an important role in alcohol metabolism. The ALDH4 activity in mitochondria is only 1/10 of the former.
This chemical component in the prescription can greatly stimulate the activity of all seven gene types, so the ability to metabolize acetaldehyde is greatly enhanced. Not only acetaldehyde converting enzyme, but also ethanol converting enzyme was greatly activated.
"Sent!"
Wei Kang stood up excitedly and walked back and forth in the laboratory.
If this was made into a hangover medicine, wouldn't it be the most powerful hangover medicine?
As long as you swallow this medicine before drinking, everyone can drink it without drinking.
"Hahaha!"
He laughed heartily.
He couldn't help but think of the times when he and Sun Chengren participated in wine parties, and often had to drink a lot of liquor. He didn't know that drinking was harmful to the body, but it was a pity that he had to integrate into this wine table culture.
If there had been such a hangover medicine, his chances of suffering from liver cancer would have been greatly reduced.
Fortunately, now that there is such a hangover medicine, the livers of Chinese people can be saved.
Wei Kang's thoughts began to spin rapidly.
He began to collect information on some health products on the market that could relieve hangover and protect the liver.
Because what he wants to do is not medicine, but health care products, he naturally needs to understand the formulas of his competitors and learn from them.
Most of the health care products on the market only have the function of regulating the body and have no therapeutic effect, so basically all the active ingredients are stuffed into the formula.
For example, Swisse, the most famous kangaroo country, liver protection tablets, which include main ingredients such as turmeric essence, artichoke and milk thistle. Milk thistle can protect liver cells and repair damaged liver cells, thereby playing a detoxifying effect. , turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, can prevent various hepatitis diseases, and can also help improve diseases such as fatty liver and cirrhosis.
These ingredients are mainly purified from some medicinal plants and are not drugs. In most cases, they have no side effects.
Of course, the effects are relatively weak, and long-term use is required to achieve the claimed preventive and relieving effects.
"Very good, now these ingredients are mine."
Wei Kang couldn't help but nodded and added these ingredients into his own health product formula without any ceremony.
The specific ingredients and dosages are readily available online and are very detailed. He improved it himself, added the hangover medicine ingredients provided by the system, mixed them together, and soon made an enhanced version of the liver protection tablet formula. .
The main functions are to relieve hangover and detoxify, repair damaged liver cells, prevent and improve fatty liver and cirrhosis.
In short, in order to achieve the best health care function, Wei Kang has not hesitated to add many liver-protecting, nourishing, detoxifying and antioxidant functions.
In order to work as quickly as possible, he also made it into capsules, so that when swallowed, it can be quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and is gentler.
After he was done, he proudly admired his results.
"Oops," he suddenly slapped his head: "How could I forget this? What if this hangover medicine is so effective and people start drinking alcohol after taking it? Then I will have to take the blame?"
"No, I'm not going to take the blame. I have to find a way to relieve hangover without turning the person who takes it into an alcoholic."
"By the way," Wei Kang had an idea: "In addition to having to socialize, everyone drinks mainly for the pleasure of being drunk. Being in a daze can build up courage and experience the feeling of being like a fairy."
"Then why don't I just add some refreshing ingredients to this medicine, so that the more people drink, the more awake they will be, thereby losing the pleasure of drinking. I think everyone will not drink again and again, and become a big drunkard. Hehe! "
"And the following warning must be written in important places on the packaging:"
"Drinking alcohol is harmful to health. This product can only be taken in urgent cases. Do not drink alcohol after taking it, otherwise the manufacturer will not be responsible for any consequences."
"It must have the right effect and not make people drink too much. Haha."
"I'm such a clever little kid."
Wei Kang smiled happily.
