The Claim
Sacha inchi oil supplementation at doses of 0.13–0.39 g/day significantly reduces hepatic triglyceride accumulation and liver steatosis grade in rats fed a high-fat and high-fructose diet, as demonstrated by histological analysis showing near-normal lipid droplet levels compared to control animals.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In rats fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet, daily supplementation with sacha inchi oil at doses of 0.13–0.39 grams reduces fat buildup in the liver and improves liver tissue structure compared to unsupplemented rats.
See the scientific wording
In rats on a high-fat and high-fructose diet, sacha inchi oil supplementation significantly reduces hepatic triglyceride accumulation and liver steatosis grade, as evidenced by histological analysis showing near-normal lipid droplet levels at all tested doses (0.13–0.39 g/day), compared to the moderate steatosis observed in the control group.
Omega-3 fatty acids from sacha inchi oil block the activation of fat-making genes in the liver, reduce the production of key fat-building enzymes, and cause the breakdown of the final enzyme that assembles triglycerides, leading to less fat storage in liver cells.
What the research says
1 studyRats that ate a fatty, sugary diet got fatty livers, but those given sacha inchi oil every day had much less fat in their livers because the oil turned down genes that make fat. This means the oil helped prevent liver fat buildup.
