Could a soy supplement help your liver? new trial investigates

NCT ID NCT07623044

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether daidzein, a natural compound found in soy, can improve liver tissue health in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). 44 participants scheduled for gallbladder surgery will take daidzein capsules or receive standard care for 28 days before surgery. Researchers will then compare liver tissue samples to see if daidzein reduces fat, inflammation, and cell damage.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

daidzein (a natural compound from soy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple, natural supplement to help control liver damage in people with MASLD.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 44 people, so results may not apply widely. It is also very short-term (28 days), so any benefits might be temporary or not lead to long-term improvement.
