Hello,
With the question “Should I take vitamin E if I have chronic hepatitis B? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Taking vitamin E will help prevent vitamin E deficiency or treat diseases requiring vitamin E supplementation. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, very important for the body.
Vitamin E helps smooth, youthful skin, limiting wrinkles. Dry, wrinkled, lifeless skin, dry and brittle hair are often caused by vitamin E deficiency. Therefore, in most skin and hair care products, manufacturers often include vitamin E in the ingredients.
You have chronic hepatitis B can still use vitamin E. You take vitamin E at a dose of 400 IU/day and should not be used for a long time.
If you still have questions about chronic hepatitis B, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
