EXCELLENT SUPPLEMENT: For several things. However, put all your energy and thoughts towards weight loss, exercise, eating healthy, cutting down on sugary/sweet stuff.

Maybe: There are some small, I mean small studies that suggest some benefit in fatty liver disease for flaxseed oil, but it's not great. It's unlikely to harm you, but make sure you don't consume too much, as even if its good, the high caloric density can catch up with you and cause weight gain. Good luck.
