APPLICATION OF 2,4-DIHYDROXYBENZOIC ACID OR ISOMER THEREOF IN RELATED DISEASES OR CONDITIONS CAUSED BY IRON OVERLOAD

摘要

Disclosed is an application of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid or an isomer thereof in foods, health products or medicines for treating or preventing related diseases or conditions caused by iron overload. The isomer of the 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid is selected from 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The design is reasonable, and direct administration of the 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid and isomer thereof is employed to achieve the aim of directly reducing the "iron ions" in the non-protein complexed iron in cells, so as to quickly remove excess iron from the body to achieve the purpose of treating various related diseases (especially diabetes) caused by iron overload.
