Synopsis

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

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been widely studied for its potential liver-protective and detoxifying effects. The primary active components, catechins (especially epigallocatechin gallate, EGCG), are potent antioxidants that may help mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are implicated in liver damage and dysfunction. Several animal studies and a number of small-scale human trials suggest that green tea extracts can reduce markers of liver injury, such as ALT and AST, and may improve fatty liver conditions (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD). For example, a randomized controlled trial published in 2016 found that green tea extract supplementation improved liver enzyme levels and reduced fat accumulation in patients with NAFLD. Furthermore, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of green tea catechins may support the liver’s natural detoxification processes by enhancing phase II enzymes involved in conjugation and elimination of toxins.

However, while these findings are promising and justify the use of green tea for liver health to a moderate extent, the clinical evidence is not yet robust or large-scale enough to fully validate green tea as a primary therapy for liver detoxification. Caution is also warranted, as excessive intake of green tea extract has been linked to rare cases of liver toxicity. In summary, green tea's use for liver detoxification is supported by moderate scientific evidence, primarily from experimental and early clinical research, but more large-scale human trials are needed to confirm efficacy and safety.
