suggest vitamins and such

Can anyone suggest proper liver support vitamins/minerals for one who is NOT on treatment?

I know that A is toxic, D is toxic, E is toxic and so is K because they are all FAT soluble vitamins which are hard on the liver.

D can be found in prescription formulary in a plant based formula/compound.

I don't know why anyone would take vitamin K unless they've eaten rat poison or something.

Vitamin K assists in clotting, which can be a problem with liver damage (you don't make enough of it).  I was advised to take a multi without iron (another possible liver damage issue).  I've seen some good posts on a couple of other viatmins that are proven to be beneficial.  Maybe those posters will weigh in.

I have been taking vitamin D at 1000 IU per day for several months now with excellent results.

Search for Gauf....he has a whole listing of liver-loving supplements.  I incorporated many into my pre-tx plan and was very happy.  

Here's a list of what I took:

Milk Thistle 200 mg tid
SAMe 400mg bid
Flaxseed oil-whatever I count remember...2-3 daily maybe
Resveratrol 100 mg qd
NAC 200mg tid
L-carnitine 1 gram bid
Trinity Probiotics from Native Sun
Centrum Silver

I also drank between 3 and 6 cups of freshly brewed green or black tea daily, using stevia as a sweetner, no sugar, honey or zylotol.  Jucing is good too, just gotta watch the sugar content.

Good luck =)

I work in a veterinary hospital and know that A,D and E and K are all toxic to the body and are especially hard on the liver.
I agree that OTC/commercial vitamins are junk.
I found a good brand--Rainbow Light, that has NO A,D.E or K in it, It;'s all B and C and minerals and no iron. The minerals are top notch--such as Calcium Citrate instead of taht tainted ****, Carbonate made of Oyster Shells.
They are whole food vitamins; the dogs just LOVE them and i have to keep the bottle tucked away so as to keep them out of the bottle.

What is anyone's experience with Thymosin??
I have a friend who took it and reported that all his symptoms went away. That's not to say his Hep C cleared or anything but he feels sooooooooo much better.
I'm all about beating fatigue's little *** before it beats me to death!! I refuse to go thru life ASLEEP!!!
