Reishi Mushroom for Fatty Liver Disease
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether reishi mushroom (a type of fungus) can improve liver health in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease—a condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers want to see if this natural supplement can reduce liver inflammation and improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) can improve liver health and reduce inflammation in people with fatty liver disease. Researchers will measure how it affects your liver function and antioxidant levels.
This study tests whether a specially designed gut bacteria treatment can help people with fatty liver disease and related health issues like high blood sugar, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and improves liver health.
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.
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.
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 tests whether a special mix of probiotics can help improve liver health in people with fatty liver disease related to metabolism. It measures changes in liver enzymes, fat, and stiffness over time.
