Summary

This trial will study how a combination of plant extracts and choline, called TOTUM-448, taken twice a day, affects liver fat, heart disease risk factors, and gut bacteria in men

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women with MASLD, a condition related to Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants must meet certain health standards and not have conditions that could interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests TOTUM-448, which is a combination of five plant extracts and choline taken twice daily, against a placebo. It aims to see if it can reduce liver fat content, improve cardiometabolic risk factors, and alter gut microbiota in MASLD patients.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not listed; however, as TOTUM-448 contains natural extracts and choline, possible side effects might include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions. The specific profile will be determined by the trial's findings.
