In cancer friends and fitness circles, the health food "Glutamine" (Glutamine), which is very popular, can cause liver toxicity! A female fitness player of about 35, a foreign woman, was admitted to the doctor due to abdominal pain and whites of her eyes for three consecutive days. The doctor followed up and found that the fitness player had taken "Samic acid" powdered health food for three weeks. Both liver function checks and imaging examinations showed that the liver function of this candidate had been damaged, and yellow on the whites of her eyes was caused by jaundice, which may be the hepatotoxic reaction caused by Samic acid.

2020 Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology From Bed to Bench) published a case of liver injury caused by using saminic acid for the first time. A woman listened to the advice of a fitness instructor and took 10 grams of health food containing saminic acid every day, which was equivalent to taking 170 mg of pure saminic acid a day. As a result, she suffered abdominal pain, yellow eyes, drowsiness, diet, nausea, vomiting, swelling, chills, yellow skin color, dark urine, etc.

During the period of consumption of saminic acid, she did not take any other health food, nor had special diet plans, and had no history of other diseases in the past.

The female candidate was diagnosed eight days after the symptoms appeared. After stopping taking sashimi acid for two weeks, the symptoms finally changed. This is the first case study report showing that a large amount of "sashimi acid" may cause hepatotoxicity and cause harm to liver health.

What is "limethic acid"? What are the benefits?

"Samic acid" is a member of the amino acid family. Our body itself produces Samic acid, which is very rich in the blood.

samic acid has the main functions as follows:

‧Aid in the production of protein in the body.

‧Supports the operation of the tract system.

‧Supports the operation of the immune system.

‧Provides nourishment for white blood cells, etc.

‧Protect oral and esophageal mucosa.

In the 2023 Joint Cancer Summit Forum, Guo Wenhong, attending physician at the Breast Medicine Center of National Taiwan University Hospital and executive director of the Breast Medicine Association, pointed out that according to the 2019 International Cancer Supportive Care Association and Oral and Breast Tumor International Association (MASCC/ISOO) Institute Published clinical treatment guidelines: If patients with cervical cancer undergo chemotherapy and discharge, they should take cephalaic acid or rinse their mouths with cephalaic acid, which can help protect the oral mucosa. Even if oral mucositis occurs, it can reduce the seriousness of the disease. This is a great blessing for cancer patients who undergo chemotherapy and discharge.

Basic studies have also found that breast cancer or other patients who are receiving treatment with Paclitaxel (commonly known as Pacific paclitaxel) may help prevent neuropathy.

These natural foods contain samoyl acid

Many natural foods, such as beef, pork, chicken, duck, milk, eagle, cheese, etc., or vegetables such as raw celery and kale, all contain samoyl acid.

Will cancer friends and people suffer from too much saminic acid?

Scientists have discovered a long time ago that samic acid can nourish the growth of cancer cells. Previous studies have shown that when the concentration of samic acid and samic acid synthetase is relatively high, it may increase the chance of transfer and recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Once cancer friends take too much saminic acid, or continue to take saminic acid health foods regardless of whether they have symptoms, over time, it may not only cause side effects such as hematuria, skin color changes, lower back pain, etc., but may also cause other cancer recurrence.

In addition to cancer friends, which other ethnic groups should be paid attention to?

‧Participants with liver and kidney diseases, taking saminic acid health foods may worsen the symptoms.

‧A rare disease, patients with Reye syndrome are not suitable for taking saminic acid health foods.

‧Some elderly people have deteriorated their kidney function and the dose may need to be reduced.

‧People who suffer from mental illness or have a history of incurable diseases should be noted. Some studies believe that taking saminic acid health foods may cause malignancy and use should be done with caution.

What drugs and foods may have interactions?

Foreign scholars remind that when taking saminic acid health foods, the internal ammonia concentration may increase. When taking the permeable drug "Lactulose" at this time, the effect of lactulose will be discounted.

If you are a patient with cancer of the brain and are receiving treatment of chemical drugs Doxorubicin (commonly known as small redberry), Methotrexate (cancer removal) or 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), taking saminic acid health foods may enhance the effect, while side effects of chemical drugs may reduce.

Dosage and time recommendations

Huang Mengjuan, Academic Committee of the Cancer Hope Foundation and Director of Nutrition Department of Zhonghe Cong Hospital Affiliated to Kaohsiung Medical University, reminded that cancer friends generally hear that lyamic acid can repair the oral mucosa, but routine supplementation of lyamic acid is related to blood tumors again. It is recommended that the dosage of the drug is limited to 0.5 grams/kg/day. You can eat it after multiple mouthwash to relieve symptoms, but only the symptoms are used for short-term use and should not be supplemented routinely.

Important ginger:

Cancer patients must ask the doctor before taking saminic acid health foods, especially those who are undergoing chemical treatment. Never take saminic acid without consulting the doctor to avoid interfering with the course of treatment and negative effects.
