It plays an important role in digestion as it stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fatty foods. As gallstones can block the flow of bile and cause intense pain, surgery to remove the organ is very common.<\/p>\n<p>Significantly, therefore, the publication of this latest study adds to the mounting evidence that higher blood levels of some essential micronutrients are protective against the development of gallstones. In addition to vitamin E, other nutrients linked to a reduced risk of gallstones include\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2763865\/\">vitamin C<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/27696253\">vitamin D<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18076730\">magnesium<\/a>.
