Lowered AST/ALT enzymes. Excelled my expectations.
Before I get into my review of "LiverCare" I want to give you all a brief explanation as to why I started taking this product. On July 2, 2013 I paid my doctor a visit for my annual physical check up. They took a blood and urine sample along with my consultation. An hour later (yes, the dreadful wait) my lab results came in and the results where not what I was expecting. Mind you that I came with the expectation that everything was fine and that this was simply a precaution. Well, I was wrong. My urine samples were fine as well as my thyroid, metabolic, and lipid markers, however, my liver enzymes were through the roof. My AST and ALT liver enzymes in particular were way above the norm. My liver numbers on July 2, 2013 were as followed: Hepatic Function - Reference Range _______________ _____________ Total Protein: 7.5 g/dL | 6.4 - 8.2 Albumin: 4.2 g/dL | 3.4 - 5.0 AST: 158 U/L | 15 - 37 ALT: 363 U/L | 30 - 65 Alk Phos: 77 U/L | 50 - 136 TBI: 0.3 mg/dL | 0.0 - 1.0 DBI: 0.1 mg/dL | 0.0 - 0.3 GGT: 37 U/L | 5 - 85 LDI: 276 U/L | 100 - 190 ______________________________________________________ After seeing these numbers the doctor advised me to avoid alcohol and tylenol (acetaminophen) at all cost and to also stop taking any supplements (vitamins) that I might be taking. That very same day I went and got myself a bottle of Milk Thistle at Walgreens and started taking that. Two days later I came across LiverCare on Amazon and based on the reviews it had I decided to give it a try. For about a month I took 2 capsules of LiverCare along with 3 capsules of milk thistle (350mg each) every day. I also significantly increased my water intake in an effort to assist my body in flushing out harmful toxins and started taking Metamucil 3 times daily for regular GI health. I continued this ritual daily and today August 5, 2013 I got my new lab results back. In a little over a month my liver enzymes are back to normal. When I saw the results I was pretty excited. My doctor was very surprised to see them back down so soon. He even asked me what I did and of course I mentioned livercare haha. Anyway, here are my numbers as of today August 5, 2013: Hepatic Function Reference Range _______________ _____________ Total Protein: 7.4 g/dL | 6.4 - 8.2 Albumin: 4.3 g/dL | 3.4 - 5.0 AST: 26 U/L | 15 - 37 ALT: 55 U/L | 30 - 65 Alk Phos: 75 U/L | 50 - 136 TBI: 0.6 mg/dL | 0.0 - 1.0 DBI: 0.1 mg/dL | 0.0 - 0.3 GGT: 30 U/L | 5 - 85 LDI: 177 U/L | 100 - 190 __________________________________________________ As you can see all of my liver markers are in check. I will continue using this product religiously along with Milk Thistle and I suggest you do the same if you have similar problems such as me. Of course I might add a disclaimer and say that my situation might have been caused by something different than yours so don't always expect similar results. As always do ask your doctor before starting on any new supplement. I am simply a consumer and by no means a medical professional. Hope this review helps!
