Human Effect Matrix
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what supplements affect liver fat
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more
evidence, the more we can trust the results.
|
Outcome |
Magnitude of effect
?
The direction and size of the supplement's impact on
each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
|
Consistency of research results
?
Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or
VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.

Notable
|
- See study |
The decrease in liver fat seen with fucoxanthin tends to be greater than that seen with other supplements, although insufficient evidence exists to suggest reliability of results

- See study |
A possible decreasing effect of liver fat seen in persons with NAFLD
|
|
|
|
Minor
|
Very High See all 3 studies |
Preliminary evidence showed a major decrease in liver fat (normalization in over half of persons with fatty liver) but currently the best evidence suggests that this does not occur as potently; there may still be a role, but this requires more research.
