Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Marine lipids, particularly omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have been scientifically investigated for their potential benefits in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Several clinical trials and meta-analyses have reported that supplementation with marine-derived omega-3s can reduce liver fat content, improve lipid profiles, and decrease markers of liver inflammation in individuals with fatty liver disease. The mechanism is thought to involve improved hepatic lipid metabolism, reduced hepatic triglyceride synthesis, and anti-inflammatory effects mediated by omega-3 PUFAs. Guidelines from some expert groups, such as the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), acknowledge that omega-3 fatty acids may be considered for treating hypertriglyceridemia in NAFLD, although they note the evidence is not strong enough to recommend them as a primary therapy for NAFLD itself. Most studies show modest benefits, and the overall quality of evidence ranges from moderate to low, with some heterogeneity in study design and outcomes. While marine lipids are not a traditional remedy for fatty liver disease, their use is supported by a moderate degree of scientific evidence, especially for patients with elevated triglycerides. However, further large-scale, long-term randomized controlled trials are needed to establish their efficacy in reversing fatty liver or preventing disease progression.
