The best vitamins to take are vitamin b12 , vitamin D , B complex , vitamin C , cod liver oil and zinc. Zinc doubles your chances of clearing hepititis C with treatment take 30mg. But stay away from pribiotics AKA Actimel please

DO NOT TAKE ACTIMEL or any other "good bacteria" during treatment it will make uld you really ill i promise i did it and i thought i would end up in hospital. You can end up with septicemia by doing this. Your body has enough to fight off



adding so called good bacteria is to much for your body to handle.  PLEASE STAY AW

Hello I took them during tx, I listed them with my hepatologist and he did not say anything.  To me it is much like concentrated yogurt and will help keep the "friendly flora" in your intestines

OH gave a great answer

My best to you

It's fine to use probiotics during treatment. I checked with my hepatic NP while on treatment.
