Optimizing cellular levels of glutathione in the body, making detoxification of the liver possible and enhancing the immune system

Stimulate regeneration of the damaged liver cells

Use of antioxidants to combat the effects of free-radicals generated by the virus

Reduce inflammation

Slow viral replication

Replace all of the inflammation-damaged liver cells

Regulate immune function/prevent auto-immune problems
