Condition

Fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

Fat build-up in the liver, linked to weight and metabolic health; can progress to inflammation (NASH) and scarring.

Affects Liver

See a clinician

Some causes of fatty liver disease (nafld) need medical care, not self-treatment. Seek help for any of these:

Yellowing of skin/eyes, abdominal swelling, confusion, or vomiting blood (signs of advanced liver disease)
Easy bruising, marked fatigue, or unexplained weight loss

What may help

Remedies studied for fatty liver disease (nafld), ranked by strength of evidence.

B
Vitamin E nutrient
In non-diabetic adults with biopsy-proven NASH, improves liver inflammation/steatosis (but not fibrosis).
C
Fish oil (omega-3) supplement
May modestly reduce liver fat, but no clear effect on liver enzymes or histology.
C
Milk thistle herb
May modestly improve liver enzymes; effects on liver structure/fibrosis are unproven.

The cornerstone is weight loss and metabolic control. In non-diabetic, biopsy-proven NASH, vitamin E has the best (though imperfect) evidence; omega-3 and milk thistle are weaker.
