What is the importance of probiotics for liver health?
Due to the combination of the liver and the intestines, the dependence of intestinal microflora on liver health was examined. For this purpose, a group of 52 people was selected who were diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Some of these people were given dietary supplements containing probiotics and prebiotics. The other people received a placebo. The experiment lasted for six months. After this time, the levels of liver enzymes in the blood were analyzed in both groups, which is correlated with the liver’s health status. Markers of inflammation as well as tumor necrosis factor and degree of liver fibrosis were also examined. The results confirmed that among the people who took placebo, the liver remained unchanged. On the other hand, among people who took supplements of probiotics and prebiotics for half a year and used a balanced diet and physical activity – the results of liver tests confirmed a significant improvement in the health of this organ.
