A COMPOSITION COMPRISING THE FERMENTATE OF PUERARIAE RADIX EXTRACT FOR PROTECTING LIVER DAMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition containing the fermented product of a Puerariae Radix extract for protecting against liver damage. The fermented product of the present invention is obtained sequentially by extracting Puerariae Radix by means of water, by treating the same through lactobacillus-derived enzymes, and by sterilizing and drying the same. It has been confirmed that the fermented product of a Puerariae Radix extract has a strong effect in controlling liver damage in a liver damage model. Moreover, a bioconversion technique through intestinal microorganisms overcomes the difference of degrees at which decomposition and absorption are performed by means of intestinal microorganisms, so as to produce a metabolite which can be easily absorbed in the body. Accordingly, the composition can be usefully used as a composition of a food, a medical product, and a quasi-authorized product for treating and preventing liver damage diseases.
