Fatty Liver & NASH
1 in 3 Indians have it — most don't know
What is Fatty Liver & NASH?
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. When insulin resistance causes the liver to accumulate fat, it progresses through stages: simple steatosis → NASH (inflammation) → fibrosis → cirrhosis. The good news: early stages are fully reversible. The bad news: most people have zero symptoms until significant damage. ALT, GGT, and FIB-4 score are key screening tools.
Common Symptoms
Root Causes
- →Insulin resistance (primary driver)
- →Excess fructose and refined carbs
- →Visceral obesity
- →Sedentary lifestyle
- →Genetic factors (PNPLA3 gene)
- →Gut microbiome disruption
- →Omega-3 deficiency
Natural Ingredients That Help
Evidence-based natural interventions supported by clinical research
Milk Thistle (Silymarin)
Hepatoprotective. Reduces liver inflammation and supports regeneration. 420mg/day standardized extract
Berberine
Reduces hepatic fat accumulation by 50% in studies. Improves insulin sensitivity driving the root cause
Omega-3 (EPA+DHA)
Reduces liver fat content by 30% at 2-4g/day. Anti-inflammatory in hepatic tissue
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine)
Replenishes glutathione in the liver — the primary detoxification antioxidant
Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol)
800 IU/day improves NASH histology in the PIVENS trial. Reduces hepatic inflammation
Key Biomarkers to Track
When to See a Doctor
If ALT is above 30 (men) or 19 (women), or GGT is elevated. FIB-4 score above 1.3 requires further evaluation for fibrosis.
