My liver enzymes are slightly elevated. Are supplements for liver support a waste of money?

While these are enzymes which are made in some quantity by your liver they are not "liver enzymes" in the sense that the measured blood levels of said enzymes are being produced by your liver only.

These 2 enzymes are ALWAYS elevated in anyone who is training at even moderate intensity levels.

Seeing elevated AST and ALT in someone who ISN'T training (this is the subject the bloody test is supposed to be administered to) is something to be investigated but your levels are literally of no concern whatsoever.

It is the medical equivalent of taking someone's pulse mid-marathon and classifying it as "HIGH" compared to the resting norm of humanity sitting on a sofa.

The thing is, I believe either the addition of Tren I started back in July of 2021 was the culprit for my elevated liver enzymes. Or it was a one time prescription of terbinafine I took due to a bad case of jock itch that wouldn't go away. I have never had elevated liver enzymes before. I did heavy cycles back in my twenties to mid thirties and don't know what my liver enzymes were back then. But I have been getting regular checkups throughout my forties and haven't had elevated enzymes. My last numbers in June of 2021 right before starting tren were ALT = 24 and AST = 26. Really good numbers for being on 100-200mg of HRT replacement testosterone weekly and working out pretty intensely.

With the terbinafine the one thing I noticed right away while reading medication side effects was "LIVER TRANSPLANT" which obviously scared me. I tried topical creams along with prescription strength creams but because I'm always sweating nothing worked other than the oral medication terbinafine.
