The present invention relates to an oral galactose composition containing galactose, an antioxidant and a buffer. the oral galactose composition contains 1%-80% by weight of galactose. the antioxidant is selected from vitamin a, vitamin c, vitamin e, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta), sodium bisulfite, flavonoids, polyphenols, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (dtpa) and nta-nitrilotriacetate (nta). the buffer is selected from ascorbic acid buffer, citrate buffer, phosphate buffer, acetate buffer, carbonate buffer and triethanolamine buffer. the oral galactose composition can be applied to detect the individual metabolic capacity of galactose to assess liver function. |
