I mentioned this recently in a thread but thought I would make a separate post about it.
Cyproheptadine and other antihistamines like benadryl, because of their strong anticholinergic properties, will increase fatty liver in those predisposed to low Choline levels.
I myself have a genetic predisposition for very low Choline, meaning the anticholinergics peat often recommends are a terrible idea because Choline is essential for estrogen detoxification and reduction of fatty liver.
For years I was using cyproheptadine without understanding it was making my fatty liver and overall estrogenicity much much worse.
I've just started supplementing phosphatidylcholine and at last my belly is getting flat, manboobs reducing a lot, etc.
For those with a well functioning PEMT enzyme and good choline levels I can absolutely see the benefits of cyproheptadine, but anyone with possible fatty liver issues and low Choline, I would strongly recommend to avoid.
