Dog oil contains high content of unsaturated fatty acids (ALA - omega‐3; linoleic acid - omega‐6), along with many polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants such as epicatechin, catechin, gallic acid...
This is considered a group of biochemicals that reduce inflammation, fight oxidation, and protect the liver from oxidative damage.
Walnut extracts, walnut oil, or walnut supplements all have the ability to reduce liver fat, reduce lipotoxicity (fat-induced liver), hepatitis, and improve insulin sensitivity, thanks to the effect of the immune regulation mechanism and balancing the intestinal microbiome.
Walnut oil also reduces ALT, AST, MDA and increases SOD, GSH‐Px activity, while reducing inflammation through the TLR4/NF‐κB signal line in liver tissue when tested on mice with liver damage caused by alcohol.
Scientific mechanism of walnuts for the liver:
Strong antioxidants: Polyphenols and omega‐3 fatty acids help increase enzyme activity such as GSH‐Px, SOD, CAT; and reduce MDA - a substance that indicates the level of liver tissue oxidative damage.
Reduces inflammation: Thanks to inhibiting cytokines TNF‐α, IL‐6 and the signal line NF‐κB/TLR4, it helps limit the progression of hepatitis and fatty liver disease.
Regulates blood lipids - liver fat: By reducing cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL‐C and increasing HDL‐C, it contributes to reducing metabolic pressure on the liver.
Impact on gut microbiota: Supplementing walnut oil helps increase beneficial bacteria such as Blautia, Collinsella, indirectly supporting the liver through the intestinal axis‐gan
Dogs have the ability to improve blood lipid receptors, especially reducing LDL-C and total cholesterol, an important factor in supporting healthy liver.
A study in the elderly shows that consuming cashews or walnuts about 20-30 g per day helps reduce the risk of NAFLD, thereby supporting clean liver and more effective operation
You should eat 20-30g of walnuts per day (about a small handful, equivalent to 1⁄4 cup).
It is best to eat whole grains, walnut oil or polyphenol standardized extract, which are all effective.
Time of use: Adding to breakfast helps kick-start the process of antioxidation and lipid metabolism throughout the day, although many new studies focus on taking it at any time.
