Hello,
Food supplements and herbal medications have no proven role in the treatment of hepatitis B so I would advise against taking them.The cure rates of hepatitis B are very low.
You will need treatment only if your liver enzymes( sgot and sgpt) are elevated or if you have cirrhosis.
Hper this helps
