Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. For an athletic person, 1.1 is normal.
2. It is not to be worried about.
3. Protein diet and muscle mass could show raised values. Repeat after six months. It will be the same.
4. Continue with regular schedule of diet and exercises. No action necessary to reduce it. It is normal.
Hope it helps.

Yes, you can take.

Hi,
Thanks for asking again.
Since your kidney has no problem, considering the requirements, I think you can take that dose. So much dosage maybe not necessary for long. You can reduce to 500-600 per day after a month or two.
Alongside more fluid intake is necessary too. Considering your athletic life, I would say, have adequate hydration.
Hope it helps.
