    The best advice is that given by your own medical team.  😊

    What is the soya supposed to be for?  
    Definitely be guided by your medical team

    Taking supplements,  if not needed, can be expensive wee!

    Your medical team may not know because many of the purported benefits are far from proven. Turmeric may be an anti-inflammatory, but also may not. No anti-cancer benefits from turmeric/curcumin have been proven to my knowledge. No idea what soya is recommended for. None of if may do any harm but I’m with @iserbrown - it’s expensive stuff to just flush through your system!

    Your doctor is the safest advice to follow.

    There are articles online about non alcoholic fatty liver and diet and foods to avoid.
