I'm currently taking men's multi-vitamins(without iron). Can I take any additional vitamins like Vitamin-C e.t.c.? Do they have a certain vitamin that's helpful for people with Hep-C? Any answers would be appreciated.

My doctor at my local hospital said that they're waiting on new medication to come out. I've been waiting for 5 months now. Has anyone else heard about this?

hey saint, i take milk thistle and curcumin, both are excellent for liver repair. stay away from animal protein which is hard on the liver.

Thanks for the info,Trying2B.

hey, it's not just vitamins, but the food you eat also. you could do a search and find out what's good and bad for hep c. here is a small list for you, hope it helps. i have geno 1a, with a viral load of 10 mil. i will try foods and vitamins before i take the poisons the drs want to give you!!
