To ensure good liver health either don’t drink alcohol or limit your intake (1 drink for females & 2 for males/ day).  Be proactive with hepatitis b (& a) vaccination.  Avoid risks like sharing needles (iv drug use), unprotected sex or lack of sanitation with piercings & tattoos.  Protect &gt;&gt;.

Generally yes: Taking a multivitamin in a patient with liver disease is generally safe, if the dose does not exceed the daily recommended allowance (dwa) and should not routinely contain iron, which can be elevated in some patients with liver disease. In addition, vit. A should not be taken in doses over the dwa. Patients with cirrhosis often have deficiencies in vit. D, zinc and magnesium.  Ask ur hepatologist.

what are the different kind of foods and vitamins that are good for your liver?

Accepted Answer

Healthy lifestyle: Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, avoiding excessive calories, fats, and alcohol, and maintaining normal weight are all factors that promote and maintain health and therefore promote a healthy liver. I don't think that there's a "fix" for chronic liver disease.
