I'm 18

I had hepatitis A in march. My liver enzymes are back to normal and I am perfectly fine.my doctor wants to check my gallbladder still but I seem ok(touch wood). Haha any way I am a basketball player and my coach suggested a supplement that contains glutamin,creatine and taurine?  Would that have any effect on my liver?

Hi there,
These supplements have their own advantages and disadvantages. Stomach upset and kidney damage are few of the common side effects of these supplements. You have been recovered from hepatitis A as you mentioned. It is best to consult your physician before starting any supplements as they can be really dangerous if started without  a medical prescription and if not taken in adequate doses and duration. I sincerely hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
