A team of researchers from Korea Food Research Institute and the University of Science & Technology in South Korea suggests that five-flavor fruit (Schisandra chinensis) can be used as a therapeutic agent for the prevention of steatosis or fatty liver. The researchers assessed the effects of five-flavor fruit extract on fatty liver in lab and clinical trials.
The findings of the study, which were published in the journal Nutrition Research, suggested that five-flavor fruit extract may be used to prevent lipid accumulation in the liver.
