The adverse accumulation of fat in the liver (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) is now a common health problem in an overweight and type 2 diabetic America. Such excess fat clogs and damages the liver, in turn making metabolism much worse over time. A randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial shows that tocotrienols can help fix the problem.
The patients involved in the study had high cholesterol and evidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease based on ultrasound, which accurately shows abnormal echo responses of the sound waves as fat accumulates in the liver. The treatment group took 400 mg of tocotrienols per day for 1 year. Those using tocotrienols were significantly more likely to have normalized their ultrasound over the 1 year period, indicating their fatty liver problem had gone away.
Your liver, like your brain, are two organs that are naturally high in fat. Such healthy fat is part of the actual structure and needs to be protected by fat soluble antioxidants. In the case of you liver, the inappropriate accumulation of stagnant fat signifies major health problems are around the corner if not already here. The fact that tocotrienols can help fix this problem is of major importance to many people trying to fix metabolism that has gotten off track.
Tocotrienols have previously been shown to help fatty liver as well as lower cholesterol. This new study simply adds more evidence of their benefit in a controlled human trial.
