Hi,
I just got a blood test from my doctor. She checked my liver, kidney's, and cholesterol just recently this week.
She says my liver enzymes are higher than normal. And she was concerned that it was something such as Hep B or C, too much drinking, my work out vitamins, etc...
I am not over weight. I am in my late 20's. I eat healthy, I rarely drink. So now I am curious, of the products and items I have listed below, which items can cause Liver Enzymes to go high?
I take this daily when i work out:
1 scoop of NO Explode
1x 1500 mg glucosmine pill
1-2 tblspon of L-Glutamine Powder
25-50grams of Isopure Whey
1x 1000 mg Omega 3 Pill
1x 500mg vitamin C Pill
Thanks.

Weight training alone can temporarily raise liver values... I'd have another test done, and make sure that you don't lift for about 48 hours prior.

There was a study out this past year that fish oil can increase liver enzymes my Dad had the same issue and he cut out his fish oil and his liver enzymes dropped. The amount you are taking should not be causing this ,but everyone is different. I would maybe try dropping the fish oil and seeing if that is the problem, if not that is one thing checked off the list.

Right now I'm wondering what dosages were used --> "fish oil levels being 0, 1, 10 and 20 energy%". Additionally in terms of the actual elevated values [which were not revealed in the abstract], I noticed the authors did not notate statistical significance --> so I wonder how significant of a rise was observed?

The association of increasing dietary concentrations of fish oil with hepatotoxic effects and a higher degree of aorta atherosclerosis in the ad lib.-fed rabbit.Ritskes-Hoitinga J, Verschuren PM, Meijer GW, Wiersma A, van de Kooij AJ, Timmer WG, Blonk CG, Weststrate JA.
Unilever Nutrition Centre, Unilever Research Laboratory, Vlaardingen, The Netherlands.
The long-term effects of consumption of marine long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on atherosclerosis in the rabbit were examined. Female Dutch rabbits were fed purified diets, containing 40 energy% total fat, for a period of 2.5 years. To study the dose response relationship between fish oil intake and atherosclerosis, four diets were formulated with fish oil levels being 0, 1, 10 and 20 energy%. A fifth and sixth group were fed an alpha-linolenic acid-(C18:3, n-3) and linoleic acid-(C18:2, n-6) rich diet, respectively. Every 6 weeks, blood samples were taken for determination of clinical chemical parameters, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol levels. Feeding 10 and 20 energy% fish oil containing diets, resulted in an increase of liver enzymes (AST, ALT and ALP). Histological evaluation of the liver also revealed adverse effects of fish oil containing diets. Triacylglycerol blood levels were similar in all groups, and remained constant throughout the study. Total cholesterol levels in blood was significantly lower in the animals fed a linoleic acid-rich diet, as compared with the other five groups. An n-3 long-chain PUFA concentration dependent increase in aorta plaque surface area was observed in the fish oil groups. A significant positive relationship was found between the group mean score for severity of liver pathology and the aorta plaque surface area. These results indicate that the long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish oil may be hepatotoxic to the herbivorous rabbit, which may interfere with the outcome of atherosclerosis studies. This finding necessitates the exclusion of liver pathology in experimental studies on atherosclerosis in animal models.Last edited by NO HYPE; 01-28-2009 at 12:19 PM.

I can't find the link ,I read it around this time last year in Muscular Development magazine I believe. My Dad was taking I believe 2-3 capsules , 3,000mg, per day and his test came back with his liver enzymes being high. I told him about the study, he cut back to 1 and his next blood work showed his liver enzymes were back to normal. So, living proof it works.
It is hard to say that 1,000 mg could be doing that you, but no one body is the same.Official Supp. Misc Beer Crew

Fish oil and Omega3
I was taking omega3 and my liver enzymes became higher ,Vitamin C is fine
My family dr was concerned about Omega3 and CLA
Multivitamin as long as there s no added enzymes like Peptin or Lipas in it its fine
Even Probiotic can raise liver enzymes but not that much .
Mostly Omega3 and CLA
