My hepatologist said Omega 3 is okay. We need to be careful with supplements. I used to take MCT oil in my morning latte but my hepatologist said MCT oil slows bile down, which is the opposite of what Urso is designed to do

I took milk thistle religiously 3 x day for months and saw no improvement in blood tests.

My internal medicine doctor told me to stop taking all supplements when I first met him. For example, he said vitamin E is toxic. My liver numbers came down just from stopping all supplements. He referred me to a hepatologist/
gastroenterologist who I run all vitamins past for approval before I start taking them.
