2. Tea
Tea is widely considered to be beneficial for health, but evidence has shown that it may have particular benefits for the liver.
A 2020 review of 15 studies found that green tea reduced levels of liver enzymes in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Another study had similar findings, reporting that supplementing with green tea extract for 12 weeks significantly reduced liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in people with NAFLD.
Plus, a 2017 review found that people who drank green tea were less likely to develop liver cancer. The lowest risk was seen in people who drank four or more daily cups.
Nevertheless, some people, especially those with liver problems, should exercise caution and talk with a doctor before consuming green tea as a supplement.
There have been several reports of liver damage resulting from using supplements containing green tea extract.
