Key Findings
- Researchers at Zhejiang Chinese Medical University found that Sea Buckthorn polyphenols can help fight liver fat
- The study identified new potential biomarkers for early detection of liver-related metabolic disorders
- Four polyphenols in Sea Buckthorn were shown to directly target and inhibit a fat-producing enzyme in the liver
