Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether daily vitamin C supplements could improve liver health in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
  • The results showed that taking 1000 mg of vitamin C daily led to significant improvements in liver enzymes (such as AST and ALT) compared to lower or higher doses, with other liver and glucose metabolism markers also improving.
  • Additionally, vitamin C increased plasma levels of the vitamin itself, adiponectin, and gut microbiota diversity, suggesting potential benefits for liver health and overall metabolic balance in NAFLD patients.]

Part of immune reaction may be the small particulates in the blood, so also exploring 'blood purifying' stuff. This implie liver funciton. Sure enough Glutathione and Vitamin C seem to be recommended. Suggests mitochondrial function health is important. https://t.co/M9evoc3veq
