Summary
This study tested whether a probiotic called L. lactis CKDB001 can improve liver enzyme levels in people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). 95 adults with mildly elevated liver enzymes took either the probiotic or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if the probiotic could safely help control the disease.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, safe supplement to help manage fatty liver disease by improving liver enzyme levels.
