Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which means it's a nutrient that may help protect cells against damage. Research suggests that in people who have MASLD, vitamin E may boost the liver's natural antioxidants, help reduce liver inflammation and scarring, and help prevent fat buildup. However, more information is needed to confirm these findings.

If you're interested in taking vitamin E for MASLD, talk with your healthcare professional first. Vitamin E is not safe for everyone. For instance, it's not recommended for people with serious liver scarring or type 2 diabetes.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin E for adults is 15 milligrams (mg). A vitamin E-only supplement is more likely to contain about 67 mg of the vitamin. If taking a vitamin E supplement is right for you, your healthcare professional can recommend the best dose.
