The New England Journal of Medicine has just published a study that looked at treatment of Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.Currently there is no established method of treating this disease. They tried 800 IU of vitamin E, pioglitazone and of course a placebo. Pioglitazone is a drug that is used to help treat type-2 diabetes and is thought to be possibly helpful for Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Results vitamin E did better than placebo and pioglitazone was the same as placebo for primary effects of Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
Furthermore vitamin E group didn't gain weight like the pioglitazone group (weight gain is often a side effect of medications).
So do your liver a treat and take 800 IU of vitamin E.
P.S. this improvement was seen after two years of taking each product, so vitamin E works slowly to improve your liver. Vitamins rarely produce a positive impact in the short time. However long term they can work miracles.
