How Akusam Tablet works
Akusam 400mg Tablet contains S-Adenosyl L-Methoinine Disulfate Tosylate, also known as SAMe, a nutritional supplement, that can restore Glutathione concentrations in the liver and also improves liver damage. SAMe is also involved in many biochemical reactions in the human body that regulate the growth, death and differentiation of hepatocytes (liver cells).
