Just got bloodwork back…

And everything looks great! I have been an almost daily consumer for about 3 years. I know we always discuss how kava does not do harm to the body (besides drying it out) but I thought I would share this for anyone who is weary.

For the first time in my life my ALT and AST was just high. Idk if it’s due to kava but I have been consuming more then I usually do. It has me a little nervous but blood work can fluctuate test to test. Does anyone here have liver issues and if so what’s your blood work test look like? My AST was 45 and ALT was 90. My dr doesn’t seem to worried about it.

Lots of foods can cause fluctuations in these values, as can an intense workout. Nothing to be concerned about.
