Hepatitis
Supplements studied for hepatitis.
Overview
Four supplements are tracked for hepatitis (9 studies). Taurine has the strongest profile (medium effect size, medium evidence, medium trust, WA 60; 3 studies), with doses of 1.5–4 g daily for up to three months possibly improving liver function in acute or chronic hepatitis.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC; WA 48; 4 studies) did not help acute viral hepatitis and did not improve hepatitis C treatment success, though it may delay reinfection after interferon therapy. Aloe (1 study) and Milk Thistle (1 study) have low-rated evidence suggesting possible enzyme or symptom improvements, but findings are preliminary and inconsistent.
