Probiotics for fatty liver disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a probiotic supplement (a mix of helpful bacteria) can improve liver health in people with fatty liver disease linked to metabolic syndrome. It may help lower liver enzymes and reduce fat buildup in the liver.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
