Vitamin E Derivative
Tocotrienol for End Stage Liver Disease
This trial is to see if a previous trial's results were accurate- that Tocotrienol (TCT) could help end stage liver disease / cirrhosis patients by taking 2 capsules of it (200mg) or placebo twice a day for 3 years.
Biguanide
Metformin for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
