A member asked:
Hi once again is iron supplement is good for fatty liver or not and what medicine should i try thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never heard of this : Iron supplement has no effect on fatty liver. The only useful interventions would be weight control(over weight is the common cause of fatty liver) and minimize alcohol use in case you drink. Daily exercise would help you more than anything else besides reduced fat intake in your food.
