The benefits
Beeswax has been promoted as a health food for commercial profits in many parts of the world. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), as a result of abnormal function in fat accumulated in the liver. is associated with insulin resistance, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, as a result of abnormal function in fat accumulated in the liver. D-002, a mixture of beeswax alcohols, in the study to test it efficacy in 50 NAFLD randomized to receive a placebo or D-002 (100 mg/day) for 24 weeks, D-002 exhibited a normal liver echo pattern on ultrasonography, improved symptoms and reduced insulin levels. Of that result, D002, may be considered as a potential agent in treating Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
