Only when prescribed, not do self- medication & supplementations. It can damage liver organ.
Scars have been found in the liver on those who have taken protein supplements.
If you are a non- vegetarian eat fish, Salmon, tuna, mackerel. If vegetarian, eat walnuts, flaxseeds & more... ..
High quality protein we get from non- vegetarian foods animal foods, it's products and from beans, lentils, milk& its products.
Next Steps
Going to gym doesn't mean that you load your liver with supplements.

Hi,
Supplements are advised when you are not getting nutrients from the diet. If your diet is enriched with all nutrients (macros & micros) then supplements plays a secondary role.
