Take Vitamin E
Many scientists consider Vitamin E one of the few fat-soluble vitamins that may protect cell membranes from any oxidative stress due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties. Some studies showed that it may even prevent the death of cells, suggesting its efficacy as a potential treatment against fatty liver disorders. However, definitive conclusions on the matter have yet to be drawn, as various studies differ in quality and methods, resulting in conflicting results.
For instance, a review conducted in 2018 concluded the supplementation of vitamin E might improve liver health markers for those with fatty liver disorder. However, they also noted some methodological concerns in the study, like smaller sample sizes. Another review suggests that adults with NAFLD could benefit from vitamin E and healthy lifestyle habits. Some benefits of taking supplements are lower amounts of specific liver enzymes within the bloodstream, improvements in BMI, reduced liver inflammation, and improved fibrosis.
While research doesn’t indicate that it can damage the liver, it’s best to ask your doctor whether you should take the vitamin and at what daily dosage. This will ensure that you get the desired outcome.
