Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Supplements studied for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Overview
Several supplements show medium-strength evidence for NAFLD. Curcumin (DEX Score 68; medium effect size, very high evidence, medium trust; 19 studies) may reduce liver fat and improve liver enzymes, weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol versus placebo. Artichoke (DEX Score 52; low effect size, high evidence, medium trust) and Garlic (DEX Score 72; medium effect size, high evidence, very high trust) may lower liver enzymes in fatty liver over several weeks. Berberine (DEX Score 72; medium effect size, high evidence, very high trust) may reduce liver enzymes, blood fats, and liver fat content.
Resveratrol (DEX Score 72; medium effect size, high evidence, very high trust) has mixed results—generally no major improvement in liver enzymes or metabolic measures, with some signal for reduced inflammation. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below for supplement comparisons.
