The Claim

Supplementation with Noni fruit phenolic extract for 10 weeks in mice fed a high-fat diet is associated with reduced liver injury, as evidenced by lower serum ALT and AST levels, decreased hepatic lipid accumulation, and improved histological markers of steatosis.

Source: Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) fruit phenolic extract supplementation ameliorates NAFLD by modulating insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation, liver metabolism and gut microbiota.

In plain English

In mice fed a high-fat diet, 10 weeks of Noni fruit phenolic extract supplementation is associated with lower levels of liver injury markers, reduced fat buildup in the liver, and improved liver tissue structure.

See the scientific wording

Supplementation with Noni fruit phenolic extract for 10 weeks in mice fed a high-fat diet is associated with reduced liver injury, as evidenced by lower serum ALT and AST levels, decreased hepatic lipid accumulation, and improved histological markers of steatosis, suggesting a potential role in mitigating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease progression under experimental conditions.

Why this might work

Good bacteria in the gut increase and bad bacteria decrease, which tightens the gut barrier and stops toxins from entering the liver. This stops a chain reaction that causes liver inflammation. At the same time, the liver starts making more natural antioxidants that clean up harmful molecules, which protects liver cells from damage and reduces fat buildup.

  1. Study: Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) fruit phenolic extract supplementation ameliorates NAFLD by modulating insulin resistance, oxidative stress, inflammation, liver metabolism and gut microbiota.

    In mice that ate a fatty diet, giving them a natural extract from Noni fruit helped their livers stay healthier by reducing fat buildup and inflammation, which suggests it might help fight fatty liver disease.
