Micronutrients & recovery
Vitamin E (96-week course) improves NASH resolution in non-diabetic patients, but its use is limited by potential risks of hemorrhagic stroke and prostate cancer.
If you have NASH and are not diabetic, ask your doctor about Vitamin E. A 96-week course can significantly improve liver health (43% resolution vs 19% placebo), but you must weigh this against potential risks like prostate cancer or stroke.
GoodQualifiesHIGH confidence
A 96-week course of the antioxidant vitamin E has demonstrated benefit in NASH resolution in an RCT of non-diabetic patients (43% vs 19%, p=0.001)... widespread use has been limited by concerns over potential risks of long-term treatment such as haemorrhagic stroke and prostate cancer.
Why this rating
Based on a cited RCT (Sanyal et al.) with statistically significant results (p=0.001).
