There are no recommended supplements to help cirrhosis and the British Liver Trust totally advise against so called herbal and alternative therapies as these arn't tested rigorously, no safe dosages are established and some can infact be dangerous to your liver.

What is the cause of your liver cirrhosis, the only way to stop cirrhosis from getting worse and perhaps be able to reverse some is to tackle the underlying cause either with life style changes or medical treatment.

Hi Katie,

Thank you so much for the advice, and information. I have heard from quite a few sources that the best is to check with the liver team that is looking after me.

Appreciate you reaching out.

Best wishes,

Brad

Hi Brad,

Welcome to the forum.

Please speak with your own liver team about your query, if you have cirrhosis it is very important to take specific medical guidance from your own doctors and never from a forum or the internet.

Best wishes

Hi Trust1,

Thank you for the prompt and informative reply, I appreciate it. Great advice, which I will follow. I will check with my Liver Team. I am based in The Netherlands permanently, so the team is Dutch.

Great to have this forum to check for (extra) information and in English. I will ask them.

Best Wishes,

Brad
