Summary

This early-stage study tests a pasteurized probiotic (pAKK_LWHK0003) in 40 adults with metabolic fatty liver disease (MASLD). The goal is to see if the capsule safely reduces liver fat and scarring over 12 to 16 weeks. Participants take different doses or a placebo. The approach targets the gut-liver connection to manage the disease, not cure it.
