The Claim

In mice with high-fat diet-induced NAFLD, supplementation with Noni fruit phenolic extract for 10 weeks is associated with altered liver metabolite profiles, including modulation of purine, glutathione, bile acid, glycerophospholipid, and ascorbate metabolism pathways.

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 with fatty liver disease caused by a high-fat diet, taking Noni fruit phenolic extract for 10 weeks changes the levels of specific metabolites in the liver, affecting pathways related to purine, glutathione, bile acid, glycerophospholipid, and ascorbate metabolism.

See the scientific wording

In mice with high-fat diet-induced NAFLD, Noni fruit phenolic extract supplementation for 10 weeks is associated with altered liver metabolite profiles, including modulation of purine, glutathione, bile acid, glycerophospholipid, and ascorbate metabolism pathways, suggesting a potential influence on oxidative stress and energy metabolism.

Why this might work

Good bacteria in the gut increase after taking Noni extract, which stops harmful toxins from leaking into the liver. This stops a chain reaction that causes liver inflammation. At the same time, the liver starts making more antioxidants to fight damage from stress, and it changes how it handles fats and bile acids to reduce fat buildup.
