Green Propolis Supplement for Fatty Liver and Cholesterol

This trial is testing whether Taiwan green propolis—a natural supplement made from bee resin—can help improve cholesterol levels and reduce body fat in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver). Half of the participants will receive the actual propolis supplement, and half will receive a placebo (an inactive pill that looks identical) for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in blood lipids, body composition, liver function, and other health markers to see if the treatment works.

Fatty liver disease is becoming increasingly common and is often linked to obesity, high cholesterol, and metabolic problems, but there are limited treatment options beyond lifestyle changes. This medication is being tested because early research suggests it may have natural anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties that could help improve cholesterol and reduce fat in the liver.
