Are vitamin A and D supplements safe to take with fatty liver?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your vitamin A level is in the marginal range. Having a range less than 0.7 umol/L or 0.5 umol/L is considered low and up to 1.05 umol/L is considered marginal. So, you need to take some supplements at a low dose. Taking up to 10,000 units daily is unlikely to cause any harmful effects in the body. So taking supplements of 7500 or even 10,000 units per day for a month or two is enough for you. I guess that you do not have any other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency like xerophthalmia or visual difficulties.

In this condition, you need to take high doses. For vitamin D, supplements like Calcirol sachet can be taken with a dose of 60,000 units once a week for eight weeks along with milk. Both these parameters are unlikely to interfere with liver issues regarding fatty liver and high ALT (alanine transaminase) levels. You have an unlikely cause to have progression to severe liver disease within this short period of time without symptoms.

This time period varies and it depends upon the quantity of vitamins stored in the liver and body. Usually, it takes up to six to twelve months after stopping the supplements. As your vitamin A is low, increasing your intake of vitamin A-rich foods will help you. Regarding vitamin D, dietary intake is not the primary source of vitamin D but it is synthesized on the skin due to sunlight exposure. So increase your sunlight exposure especially in the morning. Otherwise, you can take vitamin D supplements intermittently. Digestive enzymes can increase absorption. Fatty liver occurs due to excessive calorie intake or impaired internal fat-handled by the liver rather than gut digestion. So increasing intake is a better option.
