vitamin E

[stef2011]

it looks like vitamin E can both boost immune system more than what we have seen on vitamin d, of course this will not make a big difference but both vitamin e and d have no sides

I take a combination of Gluzin (zinc gluconate) and TocoVE (Vitamin E).  This helps boost your immune system and the antioxidant support for oxidative stress.

thank you for the articles

at the moment i can only say about vitamin d is good, i am having a very hard time to keep it at least to 50 (20000iu by 1 hr sun plus 5000iu supplements) because cutting supplements gets it down to 30, so the body is using a lot of vitamin d (in healthy people 10-15min sun per day are enough in south sunny areas)

at the moment i will not mix with other vitamins, just keep a balanced diet and vit D, selenium, zinc, melatonin, probiotics.leucocites are always in the high range of normal, linfocytes are in the highest range of normal and in higher percentage than normal (50%).

as to selenium and zinc organic supplements they have had no effect on blood levels by one month, on the contrary there has been a very small decrease on these levels but still within normal range

I've seen those types of studies on vitamin E.  Vitamin E does seem to also lower inflammation of the liver.  There are studies of it lowering liver enzymes.  The one thing I'm unsure about is how it interacts with the actual virus.  I think in HCV patients, there are studies showing vitamin E may actually help aid replication.  So HCV patients have to decide is it worth taking it if it aids replication, but helps your immune system battle the virus.  I haven't seen any studies showing it aids HBV replication though.

Another thing I've seen on pubmed recently is astralagus.  There are now multiple studies showing that it surpresses secretion of both the HBeAg and HBsAg.  It has also been show to have anti-fibrosis properties.  Here's a few studies.

Another thing I've seen that shows reducing HBsAg secretion is geranium.

Seems like there's more and more substances being studied showing ways to reduce HBsAg.  These happen to components isolated from Chinese medicine that has a reputation of aiding those with liver diseases.
