Yes, Analiv is helpful in hepatic encephalopathy which is a brain disorder that causes a decline in the functioning of the brain due to the accumulation of ammonia caused by liver damage. Analiv works by promoting the synthesis of glutamine in our body which is an amino acid that binds with ammonia, this binding results in the formation of a complex which is non-toxic in nature and easily removed from the body by kidneys in urine. Thus Analiv helps in inactivation or detoxification and removal of these harmful excessive levels of ammonia which restores its balance in our body.

Analiv contains L-ornithine l-aspartate which is a hepatoprotective agent. It works by promoting the synthesis of glutamine in our body which is an amino acid that binds with ammonia. This binding results in the formation of a complex which is non-toxic in nature and it is easily removed from the body by kidneys in urine. Normally, liver maintains the normal levels of ammonia in our body but to due liver damage caused by any medical condition affects this function which results in high levels of ammonia in our body (hyperammonemia ). These high levels of ammonia are harmful for our body which causes complications such as hepatic encephalopathy. Thus Analiv helps in inactivation or detoxification and removal of these harmful excessive levels of ammonia which restores its balance in our body.
