Although the prognosis of fatty liver depends on its causes, we feel from our clinical experience that fatty liver with hypertriglyceridemia has a good prognosis and responds well to treatment.
In this study, 600 mg/day of pantethine was administered to 16 outpatients with fatty liver and hypertriglyceridemia for six months or longer to examine whether the drug improved fatty liver using abdominal plain computed tomography (CT). Nine of the 16-pantethine patients were no longer diagnosed as having fatty liver after the study period.
An chi2 test indicated the significant disappearance of fatty liver. At the same time, the visceral fat calculated from the CT image passing the umbilical region was also significantly reduced. On the contrary, the subcutaneous fat area tended to increase, so the ratio of the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat area was reduced significantly.
This indicates triglycerides may be pooled in the body as hepato-visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, and that pantethine may transfer fat from the liver and viscera to the subcutaneous tissue. This suggests that visceral fat deposition and fatty liver occurring with hypertriglyceridemia may have a common basis, probably excessive matrixes, and that pantethine may simultaneously improve the two conditions.

Six months of the pantethine doses used in this study cost less than $100.

Now that's a beautiful molecule.
Pantethine is a form of vitamin B5 (also known as pantothenic acid). It occurs naturally in foods like mushrooms, cauliflower, calf's liver, yogurt, eggs and broccoli.Pantethine can help to turn carbohydrates and fats into energy, improve your stress response, and assure that your body produces healthy fats. It is also believed to inhibit a number of coenzymes that are involved in the cholesterol production and synthesis process. This, in turn, may lower the amount of cholesterol produced by the body. Pantethine can lower harmful LDL levels, and it may help to raise the healthy HDL levels in the body.

Would this help with gout?
I can’t take gelcaps, but I found it in tablet form.

You are making a lot of unsupported assumptions.

No to sound like a leftist, but if you want to get rid of fatty liver stay the hell away from meat from 4 legged animals and stick to plant based food.
My cousins liver was so fatty the doctor was thinking of cutting part of it out, I think she said it was 30% fat and she went 100% plant based, lost 85 pounds in a year with NO exercise and got her liver fat down to 1% by following this book...

I’m following the same thing since August only because I was very overweight and hitting 60 not to mention the chest pains were an alarm, it was crazy, just getting out of my car I was winded.
You don’t need to eat meat every single day, we weren’t made for that. Hunting and killing an animal back in caveman days was a rare occasion because it was hard to do, so they didn’t eat meat every day like today with this “I need protein constantly” myth.
I was 280 lbs at 5’11” and in only 2.5 months I’m down to 245 and I tell you, I don’t miss steak or McDonalds at all and if I get the urge, I’ll eat a steak or a Big Mac but once in a blue moon. F having a stroke, I ain’t ending up like that.
Bingo!
You can reverse fatty liver with a drastic diet change and losing 15 to 20% of body weight.
However, fatty liver can lead to serious consequences. I would not dismiss a supplement that can help remove fat from the liver.
Natural vitamins are not snake oil.
Read a book.
They’re the things with pages.

With daily exercise, I have lean liver, low cholesterol, normal blood sugar, and have not needed prescription pills since started daily treadmill for 20 minutes followed by lifting 30 lb weight 30 times. This video is from April this year when I was about to burn 81 candles.
