How it works

Contains phyllanthin, hypophyllanthin and lignans shown to have hepatoprotective effects, reducing liver enzyme levels and inhibiting hepatitis B surface antigen. May protect liver cells from oxidative damage and support bile flow.

Jaundice is always a sign of an underlying condition requiring medical diagnosis β€” do not delay medical assessment. This herb has been used traditionally alongside medical care, not as a replacement. May lower blood sugar β€” monitor if diabetic. Consult your doctor before use if on medication.

Why moderate evidence

Multiple laboratory and small clinical studies show Phyllanthus niruri has hepatoprotective properties and reduces hepatitis B surface antigen in some patients. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Siddha medicine for liver disease. More large-scale RCTs are needed.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
