Probiotics (specifically Lactobacillus strains) and prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides) can mitigate fructose-induced NAFLD by restoring gut barrier integrity and reducing inflammation.
If you consume high amounts of sugar, consider adding specific probiotics (like Lactobacillus strains) and prebiotics (like FOS). These help repair the gut barrier, preventing liver inflammation caused by sugar-induced gut leakage.

Nutritional supplementation with probiotics and preobiotics impacting composition of gut microbiota can improve the outcome of NAFLD... Treatment with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG... restored the duodenal tight junction proteins... attenuated activation of TLR4 signaling.
Why this rating
Supported by multiple animal studies cited in Table 1 showing specific strain efficacy.
