Essentiale Forte contains soya-derived phospholipids and is marketed as supportive liver therapy.

Liver disease has several different causes, so a supplement description should not be read as evidence that it replaces diagnosis or disease-specific treatment.

  • Avoid if allergic to soya or another ingredient.
  • A supplement must not replace diagnosis or established treatment for liver disease.
  • Jaundice, abdominal swelling, confusion or bleeding needs urgent medical assessment.
