Comparing two supplements for fatty liver disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two different supplements—essential phospholipids versus a combination of betaine HCL and L-glutamic acid—to see which one works better for people with fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver). The goal is to find a safe and effective way to improve liver health.

This study tests whether a supplement called betaine can reduce liver fat and damage in people with a type of fatty liver disease that includes inflammation. Half of the participants will receive betaine, and half will receive a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient).
This trial tests whether a probiotic mixture can improve liver health in people with moderate fatty liver disease (MASLD). It looks at how the probiotic affects liver fat, inflammation, and metabolism.
This trial studies whether a supplement called glycine (an amino acid) can help improve fatty liver disease. It involves taking the supplement daily and doing MRI scans to see if the fat in your liver changes.
This trial tests whether eating a plant-based diet can improve liver health and reduce exposure to harmful chemicals in people with fatty liver disease. If you qualify, you may be asked to follow a plant-based diet and have your liver health monitored over time.
This study is testing whether a natural supplement called Calculus Bovis Sativus can improve fatty liver disease in people who have fat buildup in their liver but not significant scarring. It aims to see if the supplement is safe and effective for treating this condition.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics plus making lifestyle changes can improve fatty liver and metabolic health. You may qualify if you have liver fat and at least one sign of metabolic problems like high blood sugar or high blood pressure.
