Furthermore, the researchers found that supplementing with vitamin B12 and folic acid increased the levels of syntaxin 17 in the liver and restored its role.

Plus, it also slowed NASH progression and reversed liver inflammation and fibrosis, which is the third stage of NAFLD.

“Additionally, serum and hepatic homocysteine levels could serve as a biomarker for NASH severity.”
