Beta carotene

Beta carotene is an antioxidant that's stored mainly in the liver. It's found in foods such as tomatoes, watermelon, mango, pumpkin and pineapple. People with a BMI over 40 and MASLD often have lower beta carotene levels than do those who don't have MASLD.

Some research suggests that beta carotene may help protect liver cells from damage, reduce scarring and improve inflammation. But more research is needed.
