。On the other hand, tea has been known since ancient times as an elixir for health and prolonging life. Its medicinal effects include caffeine effects, catechin effects, and vitamin C effects. In addition, catechins obtained by fractionating tea components are known to have particular pharmacological efficacy. The effects of tea are of course due to the effects of these individual fractionated components, but it is thought that the overall effect of all the components contained in tea or tea extract appears as the effect of tea.

未然に防げるとともに、その治療にも有用である。[0015] As described above, the liver damage preventive agent of the present invention is administered orally as a concentrate or in the form of a drink, tablet, powder, granule, capsule, or the like. These preparations are manufactured by adding fillers, binders, disintegrants, flavoring agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, etc. to tea extract concentrate or powder, depending on the dosage form of the preparation. It is preferable to manufacture the drug using a manufacturing method for pharmaceutical preparations. The dosage is
Approximately 1,000 to 3,000 m per day in the case of powder for adults
g or, in the case of a concentrated solution, 3 to 10 g in divided doses several times a day. This dose is equivalent to several times the amount of tea we drink daily. Since this extract is a component of tea leaves that is commonly used, it is not toxic, and therefore there is no problem in administering it in doses exceeding the above-mentioned dosage. In this way, liver dysfunction can be prevented and also useful for its treatment.
