1. Need for taking Hepatitis C vitamins and supplements

The people who get hepatitis C virus are unaware at the early stages. How would you know that you are infected by a tattoo needle, injection needle or a drug needle? This virus doesn’t show up any symptoms initially. You only know that you are suffering from hepatitis C when you come across liver disorders in your body.

Some people are a host to hepatitis C from decades without even realizing it. The severity of the liver damage can vary due to the immune system changes in different people. The liver is the second largest organ and it is involved in the most important function of fat breaking and detoxification. Liver damage can cause malfunctioning in the digestion process. You will feel more fatigued and bloated. In the process of healing the liver, you will have to feed your body with Hepatitis C vitamins and supplements to minimize the damage caused to the liver.

2. How to consume and what vitamins do I need?

Most of the vitamin capsules available in the pharmacies are manufactured out of our knowledge and they are not legally approved at their manufacturing place. So nobody knows what all components go into the capsules. They may not possess essential nutrients required for our body. They may also have some components that can harm your liver. So doctors suggest their patients to take essential nutrients through foods.

Foods give us most of the nutrients and vitamins that our body needs. The choice of shopping vegetables may vary from person to person. Some prefer fortified cereals in their diet and others may go for green leafy veggies rich in folic acid. The foods with lot of antioxidants, folic acid, Vitamin D and other nutrients help to hasten the healing process of liver and it also normalizes the liver function. Get your doctor’s advice to choose the right kind of vitamins and food for you.

3. Vitamins to avoid in the Hepatitis C Diet

Vitamins (A, E, D, and K) are fat-soluble vitamins, which can stay in the liver tissues and they are difficult to be flushed out.  The liver is put under stress if you consume these vitamins. Vitamin B complex is good for your liver, but it can be dangerous if you consume it in large dosages. The damaged liver functions differently from the normal liver, so it is better to discuss with your doctor and decide the dosages of the vitamins and types of vitamins to consume.

4. Are the vitamins and supplements working for me?
