Here are some vitamins and minerals that you can take to help you on your recovery journey.

Sponsored1. Milk Thistle
Milk thistle is technically an herb, but it may help relieve some of the issues with alcohol related liver damage. It can also help support healthy liver function.
2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is not only good for fighting off colds, but it is also excellent for boosting the immune system. It restores the imbalance in the immune system that chronic alcoholism creates.
3. Vitamin B12
B12 deficiency is closely related to the consumption of alcohol. A deficiency of B12 can cause a variety of extremely unpleasant symptoms such as:
- Cramps
- Movement issues
- Weak, sore muscles
- Short term memory issues
Many other issues can crop up when you are B12 deficient. Most of these symptoms are easily curable when you correct the deficiency.
4. Niacin
Chronic alcoholism depletes niacin, which is also known as Vitamin B3. This vitamin plays many roles in your body. It keeps your metabolism working properly and is also crucial for healthy nervous and digestive system functioning. When you’re detoxing from alcohol, supplementing with niacin helps restore this depletion.
5. Kudzu
Kudzu is an invasive plant, but a very power herb. Some studies show that kudzu helps reduce alcohol cravings.
6. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is also depleted during alcoholism. A vitamin E supplement is very helpful in solving this problem and supporting the immune system and digestive system.
7. Magnesium
Most people have a magnesium deficiency, even without alcohol. Alcohol further depletes the magnesium in your system. By replenishing the magnesium, you can regain your energy and help to heal the damage done by alcohol.
8. Vitamin A
Replacing the vitamin A in your system can also help to repair the damage that alcohol does to the body.
9. Choline
Taking choline supplements can help you reverse much of the damage that alcohol does to your kidneys and urinary tract.
10. Thiamin
Like niacin, your body’s natural thiamin stores are depleted by alcohol. Replacing this nutrient in your system helps restore your body to balance.
11. Folic Acid
Folic acid corrects the folate deficiency that alcohol creates. This helps regulate many of the metabolic body systems.
12. Garlic
Many people believe that garlic can help restore liver and digestive function. It does help improve circulation of healthy blood, which is very beneficial when it comes to alcoholism.
13. Zinc
Like magnesium, zinc is often depleted when you are an alcoholic. Replenishing your zinc levels helps you recover from alcoholism.
14. Riboflavin
Riboflavin helps to replenish dopamine levels. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in your brain that’s closely connected to its reward and pleasure systems. Research shows that nearly 64% of people who engage in excessive drinking also suffer from depression. Riboflavin supplements can help them to synthesize more dopamine.
15. A Good Multivitamin
Along with all of these other vitamins, a good multivitamin is essential for healthy alcohol recovery. Most treatment centers know about these vitamins and how alcohol depletes them. To find a treatment center that can help treat your alcoholism, call 800-996-6135 today.
