Micronutrients & recovery
Moderate and frequent consumption of coffee is associated with a decreased risk of NAFLD and fibrosis, likely through the stimulation of hepatic stellate cell apoptosis and suppression of collagen synthesis.
Drinking at least one cup of coffee daily (moderate consumption) is associated with a lower risk of developing NAFLD and fibrosis. It may also improve liver function by lowering liver enzyme levels. This benefit is attributed to caffeine and chlorogenic acid.
In contrast to previous studies, Hayat et al., 2021, showed that regular and moderate coffee consumption in the healthy population is associated with a low risk of NAFLD. In addition, in patients with NAFLD, it reduces the risk of developing fibrosis
Why this rating
Based on observational studies and one cited RCT (Mansour et al.) showing no improvement in liver markers with high-dose caffeine/chlorogenic acid, suggesting complexity.
