How to lower liver enzymes naturally.Finding the cause is the most important thing in eliminating that cause directly. This is the most natural way and the best way to lower elevated liver enzymes.
We will discuss some natural treatments that you can take on as well. But first, I wanted to list the most common reasons why people have elevated liver enzymes, so you can correct those and look into those as well.

08:40 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
One of the most common causes of elevated liver enzymes is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These are kind of the same mechanistic process that's happening, where you have fatty infiltrates or fatty accumulation in your liver. This causes those hepatocytes to burst open and spill into your blood. And then when you do your blood draw, you see elevations in those liver enzymes.
I did a separate video on that and how to look at that. So if you need more details on that, definitely check out that video.
Something surrounding dietary influences of elevated liver enzymes: The next most common influencer, of course, is alcohol. Now, some people are going to process alcohol differently. There are some genetic things that are associated with how you process alcohol. So one or two drinks a night may be causing your liver enzymes to go up, where someone else has one drink right before their test, and that causes their liver enzymes to go up. Other people may be able to have three or four drinks per day, per night and not have an elevation in their liver enzymes.
I've literally seen these different variations in my practice.So how you process the alcohol is important. You can't say, you know, you can't have any alcohol.Because it's going to raise your liver enzymes. Now, of course, alcohol isn't good for you. It is poisonous. It does affect the liver. But just some people have a harder time processing it than others.
The third thing that's kind of an easy thing to eliminate is if you are taking Tylenol on a regular basis. Any kind of over-the-counter pain medication could have Tylenol in it.
Now, the NSAIDs like ibuprofen, Aleve, and aspirin don't typically elevate liver enzymes. They're going to have more of an effect on your stomach and kidneys, but Tylenol definitely does. So, if we're taking any products with Tylenol in it, that might be one place to look as well.Of course, there are many other causes of elevated liver enzymes that you should always try to investigate before you're trying to lower your liver enzymes with a natural product or supplement.
In other words, it's better to remove the cause of the elevated liver enzymes than take a supplement for the rest of your life just to keep your liver enzymes in a normal range.
That being said, it is sometimes hard to find out what the actual cause is. And I usually recommend dietary changes first, as this is the most common reason why people do have elevated liver enzymes. As I alluded to earlier,
There's also the influence of exercise. Now, not all exercise is going to do this. It has to be particularly difficult. Strenuous exercise, intense exercise right before you do your blood tests. And that can raise your liver enzymes as well. But if you're having ongoing elevated liver enzymes and you're not doing strenuous exercise, you're kind of in a routine that's not going to do it.
But there's a separate video on that if you want to check that out as well.
I'll also mention quickly here that it's also important to establish that they actually are elevated regularly, after many, many tests before you go taking something to lower them. Maybe it was just a fluke and the issue with exercise highlights that you need to check multiple times before you go jumping to some conclusion that you have some sort of liver problem when maybe you actually don't.
All right. With all that preambling out of the way, let's look at how to lower liver enzymes naturally. The first option that I want to discuss because I think it is very safe and very effective [v1CkJHBXYwo] |
