    The best advice is that given by your own 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!

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