Could Liv.52 Be Helpful In Reducing Inflammation On Liver?

I have a very high Ferritin level over 1600. I am 56, male, 200lbs 5'8" and drink 3 to 4 drinks a day. Limited to wine and beer. No hard alcohol. I have read that Liv.52 might be beneficial in reducing the inflammation on the liver caused by drinking. Of course cutting out the alcohol would be the best treatment and I have stopped drinking in order to retake a ferritin levels test, but, do you think Liv.52 would be a plus in the healing process?

Thank you for posting query at HCM.

your probably suffering from hemachromatosis.
also monitor your blood glucose by doing a fasting blood glucose test?

are you taking any medication to cut down the Ferritin level?
discuss with your treating hepatologist?

"Yes, Liv52 is hepatoprotective drug. protects the liver."

anyhow,
increase in the level of liver enzymes with increase BILIRUBIN reflect an INJURY to the Liver. medically, the condition is know as "Hepatitis".

You need to test for HepB & C serology as well as Lipid "Profile" too.
if all causes of hepatitis are ruled out , then

- abstinence from "Alcohol" is mandatory
- very LOW or fat free diet should be followed
- Moreover, less activity should be carried out (no sports).; however you may wALK daily for 30 to 40 minutes
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
-recheck liver enzymes after every 6 to 8 weeks.
- you may continue LIV52

wish you good health.
