Vit E can weaken HBV replication?

[bicolanowarrior]

is it true and proven that the vitamin e can weaken virus replication? if it's yes, what is the best time to take it? and what dose can be recommended to take it daily? thank you in advance

its a very powerful antioxidant and can promote a helthy liver pero it doesn't affect the hbsag status

it depends hbv can block it made by the sun, you have to make blood tests and see if the sun is able to rise it.only healthy people get a rise of vitamin d by the sun, for us it can be useless

try the sun and see if you get it at 50ng/ml or higher

sunlight is a vitamin d, was it better to have sunligth everyday? instead of taking those vitamins...

i use puritans vitamin e, see below how natural vitamin e is called, in nature vitamin e is not a single compound but a mix of Tocopherols:
d-Alpha Tocopherol
d-Gamma Tocopherol
(d-Delta, d-Beta Tocopherol
Tocotrienols

if it is made synthetic in a lab you just find Alpha Tocopherol, which is also the less effective

no it is not exactly true, vitamin e can reduce oxidative stress and increase macrophages function but this is very very mild, only a combo of particular vitamins and drugs can weaken virus a little

- vitamin d 25oh serum level is the only one with proven potency and must be higher than 50ng/ml, the higher the better.hbv carriers with hbvdna undetactable have high vitamin d 25oh

- vitamin E, only the natural one at 200iu daily has some effects.it works on fatty liver more than hbv, if there is fatty liver the dose is 800iu

- red yeast rice supplements with monacolins content higher than 5mg or simvastatin 40-80mg daily.cholesterol is used by virus to make antigens and virions and for their assembly inside cells.tot chol<150,ldl50 are the perfect ranges to weaken the virus
hdl can be increased by pantethine, a form of vit b5, dose 1300mg daily, no sides

after all this you might still have replication but virus is weaker in case you start immune modulators therapies like interferon or alinia

vitamin d and lowering cholesterol by simvastatin are those with proven potent effect
