Omega-3 fatty acids (specifically fish oils) may be effective in treating MASLD, potentially synergistically with chicory acid.

Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil may help reduce liver fat in MASLD. They are recommended in guidelines, though they are not a standalone cure.

ModerateQualifiesMEDIUM confidence
The guidance in 2018 stated that omega-3 fatty acids may be effective in MASLD [144]. ... Mohammad Mohammadi et al. identified the potential synergistic efficacy of fish oils (FOs) and chicory acid (CA) in reducing hepatic fat accumulation in a MASLD in vitro model [145].
