What science says about Glutathione For Fatty liver / Hepatic Steatosis

Most doctors and health experts recommend taking glutathione for fatty liver disease as it aids in the reduction of inflammation in the body, which is one of the main causes behind fatty liver disease.

As a result, fat accumulation in the liver decreases, thus protecting the liver cells from damage and scarring, which allows the liver to function properly and normally.

Bianca Garilli, ND, suggests that “oral glutathione supplementation, particularly in the protein-bound form, may in fact exert a beneficial effect on redox potential in the cells”. This allowed the consideration of supplementing glutathione in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Nevertheless, some other experts still require more information to ensure the mechanism behind the beneficial effects of glutathione in the treatment of fatty liver disease, before they suggest its supplementation.
