Important: This site is for educational awareness only — not medical advice. Regulatory status varies by product: TGA listing (AUST L) or registration (AUST R) means a product is on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, but does not mean the TGA has endorsed its effectiveness for liver disease. Some products are instead classified as foods under FSANZ, or as dietary supplements in the United States under FDA/DSHEA — in the US, the FDA does not review or approve supplements before they're sold. None of these classifications are a guarantee of safety or effectiveness. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before taking any supplement, especially with existing liver conditions or other medications.

About This Site
LiverHealthHub is an independent educational project — it isn't a medical practice, clinic, or affiliated with any hospital or health system. It's maintained by one person, motivated by how common and how preventable most liver disease actually is, with the goal of turning scattered medical research into plain-language guidance people can actually use.

The content is researched and written by summarizing peer-reviewed studies and guidance from major health authorities (see the Research page for dated, sourced summaries and the citation behind the Liver Fat Estimate calculator) — it is not written or reviewed by a licensed medical professional, and nothing here should be treated as personalized medical advice.

Built with reference to how major health publishers (Mayo Clinic, Healthline, NHS, Liver UK) structure liver-health content: symptom guides, risk breakdowns, and dated, sourced research summaries.
