Evidence supporting the use of: Syringic acid
For the health condition: Fatty Liver Disease
Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Syringic acid is a naturally occurring phenolic acid found in various plants, fruits, and medicinal herbs. Its use for supporting or treating fatty liver disease (also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD) is primarily supported by preclinical scientific studies rather than a long tradition of use. Several animal studies have demonstrated that syringic acid can exert hepatoprotective effects, possibly by reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid accumulation in the liver. For example, studies in rodent models of fatty liver disease have shown that administration of syringic acid reduced liver enzymes (ALT, AST), improved liver histology, and modulated biomarkers associated with lipid metabolism and oxidative damage. The proposed mechanisms include the enhancement of antioxidant defenses, suppression of inflammatory cytokines, and regulation of genes involved in lipid synthesis and breakdown.
However, there is currently a lack of robust clinical evidence in humans. No large-scale, randomized controlled trials have been published to directly confirm the efficacy or safety of syringic acid in patients with fatty liver disease. Therefore, while early preclinical evidence is promising and justifies further investigation, the overall strength of the evidence remains limited, warranting a moderate rating. Syringic acid is not currently recommended as a standard or proven therapy for fatty liver disease in clinical practice.
