Liver function - AST 79

[Will1911]

I rarely drink, i workout 5 days a week, yet my AST is elevated for the past 3 or more years.  My AST is 79.  Are there any supplement one can take to help with decreasing the AST?  Concerned in Maryland.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON AND OFF OVER THE YEARS.  HIGH INTAKE OF PROTEINS CAN CAUSE THIS OFTEN.  THEN AGAIN SO CAN SOMETHING LIKE WATERMELLON.  MILK THISLE CAN HELP IMPROVE LIVER FUNCTION WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN FOOD.  FLAX SEED OIL CAN ALSO IMPROVE YOUR BODIES ABILITY TO BREAK DOWN PROTEINS ALONG WITH WATER AND MORE WATER.  FYI-IT IS VERY, VERY RARE ELEVATED READINGS FROM FOOD INTAKE WILL CAUSE LIVER DAMAGE UNLESS YOU HAVE AN UNDERLYING CONDITION.
