Low vitamin D levels are strongly linked to fatty liver severity, with deficiency tied to more fat buildup, higher liver enzymes, and worse metabolic problems like insulin resistance Fatty liver disease often progresses silently until serious damage like cirrhosis or liver failure has already taken hold Supplementing with vitamin D has been shown to lower blood sugar, reduce liver enzymes, improve cholesterol balance, and even help shrink waistlines Cutting out vegetable oils and alcohol removes two of the biggest drivers of liver stress, giving your body the best chance to reverse damage and restore function Simple, everyday steps like eating choline-rich foods, getting regular sun exposure, and testing your vitamin D levels will help you protect your liver and keep it working at full strength
