The basic unit that makes up starch, glycogen, and cellulose: glucose.

Glucose, organic compound. It is one of the most widely distributed and important monosaccharides in nature, and it is a polyhydroxy aldehyde. Pure glucose is colorless crystals, sweet but not as sweet as sucrose (the average person can't taste the sweetness), soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether.

The aqueous solution of natural glucose has a spin to the right, so it belongs to "dextrose". Glucose has an important position in the field of biology, is the energy source of living cells and metabolic intermediates, that is, the main energy-supplying material of living things.

Plants can produce glucose through photosynthesis. It is widely used in confectionery manufacturing and medicine, and has the effect of protecting the liver, replenishing heat and body fluids, and strengthening memory.

1, protect the liver glucose can promote the detoxification function of the liver.

2, replenish heat energy and body fluids are used for various reasons caused by insufficient food or large amount of body fluid loss.

3, improve hypoglycemia glucose can be used to improve the symptoms of hypoglycemia, when dizziness, blurred vision and other symptoms, oral glucose to improve the symptoms of hypoglycemia.

4, improve dehydration glucose solution is easy to be absorbed by the body quickly, can give the body to replenish enough water, if the body appears to lose water, dehydration and other symptoms, you can take oral glucose solution to replenish water.

5, relieve hyperkalemia glucose helps to reduce the concentration of potassium ions in body fluids, so when hyperkalemia can be taken to relieve symptoms.
