  • Patent number: 11234943
    Abstract: Micronized trans-resveratrol is provided in 50-200 mg unit dosage form for use as a single unit dose daily for administration to human patients the treatment or prevention of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and/or for the treatment, prevention or reversal of non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis, e.g. for administration to patients exhibiting evidence of fatty liver on ultrasonography. A reported study shows the effects of resveratrol micronized formulation in reducing the liver fat, decreasing hepatic enzymes, serum glutamate pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (g-GT) and decreasing insulin resistance. At the end of the study, statistical analysis showed a strongly statistically significant reduction in the liver fat, which in some patients continued for an extended period after treatment was discontinued.
