Although it lacked a control group (which can possibly skew the findings) the study showed that a dosage of 20 000UI of Vitamin d3 daily, tapered off to a dosage of 20 000UI vitamin d3 once a week for six months significantly improved the condition of the patients livers.
The is being used as the basis for further , controlled studies.
