ALT Levels hovering around 69 - 79 for two months

In February 2012, I was taking a supplement that raised all of my liver enzymes to a high level of ALT 550 or so and has been since declined to 69 - 70 now April 2012. I was wondering if this is a normal time of healing and is there anything to be concerned about. All my levels are back to normal and I havent touched a drop of alcohol ever since nor will I be planning to also. Any recommendations on how to improve these levels and also if me going back to a work out regiment will be an issue.

Any input will be great from a medical professional.

Uhm, do you have Hep C? We are not medical professionals here, just people with Hep C, who offer advice and support.
   What supplement were you taking, that elevated your enzymes so much? Mine were about that high last year, as well, and my Doc had me go of ALL my supplements, as well.

It was an over the counter weight loss challenge that is supposed to show results in one month or so. I followed everything by its direction but I started to have reaction to it. I had an Xray, ultrasound, and Hep testings and all came back negative. The only thing that is elevated is the ALT levels but thats about it. Just wondering if this is something to be concerned about or just allow the liver to heal on its own?

liver enzymes are and indication of how the liver is functioning. the liver is a filter and it purifies the blood. if you ingest something that is harmful, i would think that your liver would go into overdrive. think of your liver as an engine and the enzymes are a tachometer. yikes, were did i get that analogy.....like BGirl said, we are just a bunch of Heppers trying to help each other get thru treatment....did you google your question?....there is no magic compound when it comes to weight loss; exercise and portion control are the key....or you can do what i did and let the Hep C treatment knock off 30 pounds for ya.....just kiddin there.....dude, cool nic there, well not as cool as mine but nice.....good luck
