Lifestyle changes, nutrition, and supplements for hep b

Hi @Kinoti,

Several large studies have shown that a moderate reduction in both liver disease progression and liver cancer is associated with drinking more than 2 cups of coffee a day. The reason behind this is still unknown, and actual clinical trials need to be done to make sure it is specifically due to the coffee (and not just another associated factor). There is some evidence showing that caffeinated is better than non-caffeinated. General reduction in refined sugar is probably a good thing, so my personal opinion is to have it without sugar.

All in all, coffee is a very safe and generally well-tolerated addition to your diet and could help protect your liver. I myself drink at least 2 shots of coffee a day.

That’s likely correct, but how Hepatitis B reduces triglycerides and lowers metabolic syndrome is still unknown. The association is there, but we don’t know how the virus infection actually does it.

I am not aware of any interactions, but please check with your doctor if you are unsure.
