A member asked:
With non-alcoholic fatty liver is milk thistle and vitamin e+ exercise effective and if so what dosage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: as to whether they are effective. There are studies on both sides of this issue, and the majority of studies have not shown efficacy of either medication in preventing the progression or promoting the improvement of liver inflammation. This is particularly true with vitamin E, where all studies have shown lack of efficacy. A few studies of milk thistle have shown small improvements, but most not.
