I'd probably experiment with liver supportive supplements to see which ones I do not react negatively to. Have you tried taurine/TUDCA and even reacted negatively to those?Great article—thank you.
Any advice for those who are hyper sensitive to many supplements recommended, apart from the obvious of starting low and slow? My understanding is that the very supplements that a poor liver needs may be intolerable, due to that poor liver. This has been my experience.
Have you found that the bitter herbs improve tolerance to other supplements or that it improves liver function?Bitter herbs @Mossy... I like gentian root
Sweet, thanks for mentioning.Great article. I will be reading it again. Really solid suggestions.
One note, a forum member had good results reducing NAFLD using Vitamin E Succinate, which can help to combine two of the items on the stack at the end.

If I were to write a how to fix your liver guide it would be the following:
- 400mg UDCA daily - being the gold standard for reversing fatty liver
- sufficient dietary vitamin e, vitamin k, choline, taurine and methionine
"Thirty seven participants, 2-3 months after RP, were randomly assigned to receive 570 mg of silymarin and 240 µg of selenium as selenomethionine (n = 19, SM-Se group) or placebo (n = 18, Placebo group) daily for six months. Both groups had similar clinical and demographic characteristics. Physical examination, QoL score, haematology, basic clinical chemistry and oxidative stress markers, selenium and testosterone levels, antioxidant status were evaluated at baseline, at 3 and 6 months.
RESULTS:
The six months administration of silymarin and selenium improved the QoL score, decreased low density lipoproteins (LDL) and total cholesterol and, increased serum selenium levels. The combination had no effect on blood antioxidant status and no influence on testosterone level."

Milk thistle can be estrogenic in higher doses, but in small doses, the benefits outweigh the negatives.
