Abstract: With the change of dietary habits and quality of life, the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has increased year by year, and has become one of the major public health problems in the world. Due to the complexity of the disease, no drug has been approved for treatment. Propolis is a natural gelatinous product with extensive pharmacological activities, which can be used in clinical treatment of coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other diseases. Studies have shown that propolis and its phenolic compounds have pharmacological activities such as reducing fat, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and have a good application prospect in alleviating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Therefore, this article reviewed the recent studies on propolis and its phenolic compounds in alleviating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, in order to provide theoretical reference for the study of propolis alleviating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
