Researchers at Jilin Agricultural University and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) in China discovered that magnolia berry (Schisandra chinensis) possesses protective effects against liver damage caused by acetaminophen. In their study, which was published in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines, they focused on evaluating the effects of an ethanol extract of magnolia berry stems on acetaminophen-induced liver damage in an animal model.
In conclusion, this study shows that magnolia berry may help protect against liver damage caused by acetaminophen.
