Stevia Powder

Stevia Powder, a natural sweetener, possesses antioxidant properties. It regulates antifibrotic pathways in cirrhotic rats, demonstrated by a reduction in hepatic stellate cells and decreased expression of matrix metalloproteinases MMP2 and MMP13. Furthermore, it increases the antifibrotic molecule Smad7, which helps prevent the elevation of serum necrosis and bile retention markers, thereby inhibiting the progression of liver fibrosis.
