Pectin and high-amylose maize starch increase caecal hydrogen production and relieve hepatic ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats

How Gut Health and Fiber Can Help Protect Your Liver

A study found that certain fibers, like pectin and high-amylose maize starch, can help protect the liver from injury by producing hydrogen gas in the gut. Eating a fiber-rich diet can help keep the liver safe, and may even reduce the risk of damage during surgery. By understanding the connection between gut health and liver protection, we can take steps to keep our livers healthy.
