Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you are taking for supplement.But you have not mentioned which are content of it.
According to few study yes excess dietary supplement can damage liver.So don't overuse supplement.
If you are taking alcohol then fatty liver can develop which can lead to elevated liver enzyme.USG helpful for it.So if habit stop alcohol.
Also do your viral market to rule out cgronc carrier if HBSag and sub acute viral hepatitis.
I hope your concern is solved.
Take care.
