Used in the treatment of liver diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis, where it helps improve liver function and delay disease progression. It acts by protecting liver cells from damage, reducing bile toxicity, and promoting bile flow.

Also studied for its neuroprotective properties in conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and ALS due to its ability to reduce cellular stress and prevent apoptosis.

Applied in research on retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, to help preserve vision by protecting retinal cells from oxidative stress.

Additionally, used in some formulations to support mitochondrial function and reduce oxidative stress in metabolic disorders. Commonly available in tablet or capsule form, absorbed in the small intestine, and helps lower elevated liver enzymes.
