Gut–liver Reset

Gut–liver Reset

Morel mushroom (Morchella esculenta) contains a newly identified protein that sharply reduced fatty liver disease in high-fat diet models by restoring healthy signaling between the gut and liver. The compound lowered liver fat and cholesterol, calmed metabolic stress pathways, and shifted the gut microbiome toward more protective bacteria.
