First seen Feb 10, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a low dose of vitamin B3 (niacin) can help lower fat buildup in the liver for people with a condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease). The researchers will compare niacin to a placebo in 36 adults aged 50 to 80. The goal is to see if niacin can redirect fat away from the liver and into fat tissue instead.
