Turmeric shows promise for NAFLD"Evaluation of Curcuma zedoaria Rosc. in the management of non-alcoholic fatty liver Disease: A Randomized, single blind, controlled trial".
In a recent clinical trial, we explored the effectiveness of Curcuma zedoaria Rosc., commonly known as turmeric, in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This condition is alarmingly widespread, affecting a significant portion of the global population. Over the course of 60 days, we compared turmeric with vitamin E, a standard treatment, to see which had better results.
Our study involved 68 patients with mild to moderate NAFLD, who were divided into two groups. One group received turmeric in capsule form, while the other took vitamin E. We looked at various outcomes, including improvements in liver function, symptoms like digestive issues and malaise, and ultrasound assessments of liver size.
The findings were compelling. We observed that turmeric outperformed vitamin E in alleviating subjective symptoms, such as discomfort in the upper right abdomen, and issues with appetite and digestion. Notably, there were no significant adverse effects reported with turmeric, making it a promising alternative for managing NAFLD.
Overall, our research highlights turmeric as a viable option for those seeking treatment for liver disease, offering benefits that may surpass those of conventional therapies.

NIH studies indicated Turmeric works for both kidneys and fatty liver disease. I noticed pain relief for my arthritis when taking a high-quality extract, though I had to adjust to avoid stomach pain. It’s been worth it, especially as it helps my condition without harming my kidneys.
