Hepatitis is characterized by the destruction of a number of liver
cells and the presence of inflammatory cells in the liver tissue caused
by excessive alcohol drinking, disorders of the gall bladder or
pancreas, medication side effects, and infections. Beside foods,
nutritions and herbs, supplements also play an important role in
preventing and treating hepatitis
1. Vitamin C
It is found only in fruits and vegetables and is highest in fresh,
uncooked foods. Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin. It helps prevent
oxidation of water-soluble molecules that could otherwise create free
radicals. Vitamin C not only stimulates the immune system but also
improves the prevention and treatment of infections and other diseases.
2. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties and
is used for prevention or treatment of numerous health conditions such
as liver detoxification. Vitamin E levels have been shown to be low in
people with hepatitis as well as in those who later develop liver cancer
from long-standing hepatitis therefore increasing the amount of intake
of vitamin E may protect the liver from damage in people with hepatitis
C.
3. B vitamins
B vitamins support metabolic functions, including energy production,
nerve cell immune system functions and as well as antioxidant activity.
4. Selenium
Selenium is an essential trace mineral that helps in cleansing liver
toxins. Selenium is proven to have a protective role against hepatitis
B. The right dose of selenium will help to ware off liver cancer.
5. Flax seed
Flax seed is an excellent vegetarian source of essential fatty acids
that helps to reduce inflammation of liver and restore damaged liver
cell membranes. It will also support the filter inside the liver, which
removes microorganisms, dead cells and toxins from the blood stream.
6.L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine contains high amounts of amino acid and natural growth
hormones that help to combat the effect of alcohol addiction, benefiting
the liver and strengthening the immune system.

7. S-adenosymethionine (SAMe)
Study shows that S-adenosymethionine (SAMe) has ananti-oxidant
effects in chronic liver disease and in the treatment of viral hepatitis
C. It also helps to restore abnormalities and cellular dysfunctions in
human liver disease. Oral SAMe is also helpful in treating patients with
chronic liver disease.
