Efficacy of phospholipidated curcumin in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a clinical study
2018
AbstractCurcumin is a safe and dietary phytochemical that can improve different pathophysiologic features of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here, we investigated the efficacy of phospholipidated curcumin supplementation in NAFLD patients. In this single-arm study, 36 patients were recruited. Each patient received three capsules a day (each containing 500 mg of phospholipidated curcumin [overall content of curcuminoids per capsule: 100 mg]) for a period of 8 weeks. The results indicated that phospholipidated curcumin supplementation reduced NAFLD severity and ameliorated ultrasonographic and biochemical measures (including liver transaminases and lipid profile) associated with disease progression.
