In this video, I’m going to explain why vitamin D deficiency can cause liver disease. Vitamin D is vital to countless biological functions throughout the body. However, vitamin D is especially important for your liver.

If you have any sort of liver problem—fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatitis—you want to be taking vitamin D. I’ll tell you why in just a moment.

The liver is a very large organ with over 500 different functions. It’s located on the right upper side of your body, it weighs about 3.5 pounds, and it’s about the size of a football.

A diseased liver isn’t always caused by alcohol or viruses. It can be caused by a diet with too many carbs and sugars. A vitamin D deficiency can also cause liver disease.

Here’s how a vitamin D deficiency affects the liver:
1. Hepatocytes - These are a type of liver cell. They have a natural antiviral effect. Vitamin D increases this antiviral effect.

2. Stellate cell - Vitamin D increases stellate cells, which reduces your risk of developing fibrosis.

3. Macrophage - Your liver contains a lot of these immune cells. Vitamin D is vital to their function.

4. Cytokines - Vitamin D stimulates anti-inflammatory cytokines in your liver.

5. T-cells - Vitamin D increases the T-regulatory cells, which reduces inflammation.

6. Enhanced bile production - Vitamin D increases the production of bile, which reduces liver fat.

As you can see, vitamin D does a lot for your liver.

If you have any liver problems, consider taking vitamin D. You may need around 10,000 IUs to 20,000 IUs a day with a meal.
