Such a timely article regarding fatty liver. I am struggling with this and want to focus in on solutions. Do you take melatonin during the day or only at night? What is the best E to take? I've taken this in the past but not sure it's the best form: Jarrow Formulas, Toco-Sorb, Mixed Tocotrienols and Vitamin E.
Also, do you take the 24mg astaxanthin all at once or split throughout the day? Do you think milk thistle and/or dandelion are good add ons?

I take melatonin before bedtime. The only time I take melatonin during the day is for Covid-19.
I take 24 mg of Astaxanthin in one dose as the liposomal soft gel I take is 24 mg as I linked to in the article.
I am a believer in using the least amount of supplements to effect the desired changes. As such, I would start with Astaxanthin and Melatonin initially and only add other supplements if needed. Sometimes less is better and the less supplements I have to take to achieve the desired effects, the better.

Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' BBR alleviated NAFLD via mediating PPAR signaling pathways through targeting AKR1B10. This study proved that AKR1B10 is a novel target of BBR for NAFLD treatment and helps to find new targets for the treatment of NAFLD by using active natural compounds isolated from traditional herbal medicines as the probe. '
So this adds another useful supplement, Berberine, to Melatonin and Astaxanthin as a triple threat against NAFLD many more health issues.
