Dear 1960finas

We would strongly advise against taking this or any other supplement without advice from your medical team as you have complex medical issues. Any supplement would have to be processed by the liver and so it might make your condition worse.

Please see our booklet on diet for more information: britishlivertrust.org.uk/li...

Hi 1960finas

That's great that you've spoken to your team and they have advised you what is safe to use.

There is no one on the forum who can advise you on what is safe to take, it is only your specialist who knows your full medical history that can give such advice.

Best wishes
