What Is The Ideal Dosage Of Liv 52 For Fatty Liver?
Question: Hello doctore, I would like to know whether I can take Liv 52 for fatty liver - Non alcoholic fatty liver. What should be the dosage and time of in take? Does it result in weight gain? as I am already on higher side of weight, may be due to fatty liver
Brief Answer:
No evidence that LIV52 helps in hepatosteatosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Fatty liver is due to accumulation of fat in the liver cells, they enlarge in size giving extra weight to liver. But they do not seem to cause inflammatory reaction in the liver initially. This is called Hepatosteatosis.
The studies were found that LIV52 (herbal formula by Himalaya) is not done good in patients with just Hepatosteatosis without inflammation. So if a drug has no beneficial affects why should you take it? There are no clear clinical trials to confirm its protective effect on liver. However LIV52 has shown good results in trials conducted on patients hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease and liver cirrhosis.
I suggest you to proceed with time tested, efficient therapies for fatty liver such as cut down intake of fat, lose weight, increase consumption of fibre rich diet, regular exercise. These will definitely have a positive outcome in the process.
All the best.
