The nonspecificity of the clinical manifestations of the initial stage of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - the stage of steatosis, is the reason for the untimely correction and progression of this disease. Aim. The aim of the study was to conduct a randomized open comparative study to determine the effectiveness of the use of the food supplement FanDetox as a source of organic compounds in liver function disorders. Material and methods. This study was a single-center randomized open one and included the study of the possibility of using the herbal product FanDetox in the complex therapy of NAFLD in patients aged 18 to 75 years with a verified diagnosis of obesity and the presence of signs of steatohepatosis, against the background of basic therapy with Carsil Forte.
