Can a mix of herbs improve mild fatty liver?
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is testing if a combination of four herbs (artichoke, milk thistle, turmeric, and licorice root) can help people with non-alcoholic mild to moderate fatty liver disease (also called metabolic-associated fatty liver disease). It's a randomized trial, meaning participants are assigned to either the herbal mix or a comparison group. This may offer a natural option to support liver health.
