Drinking Cranberry juice while on Fina?

[Xtreme2001]

Someone told me to drink cranberry juice to help my liver out when i'm on fina. Is something to consider? Besides milk thistles pills.. what other alternatives should I think of to protect the liver?

Thanks

Well actually the cranberry will be helping the kidneys primarily.

You should not use the cranberry with added sugar. Get the real stuff or better yet, buy the tabs.

The best thing is water no matter how you look at it.

The juice is ok, but you are much better off to drinks lots of water and take cranberry extract!

Alpha Lapoic Acid for the liver. Better than milk thistle.

take 600mg a day or so

forget the juice buy the tabs.

8 oz. juice it approx 500mg of cran extract.

i buy "CRAN MAX" tabs, and each tab contains 7500mg of extract.
which do you think is better?

oh and 5 gallons of h2o

Japanese Machine- Where do you buy your cran max tabs at, and how much do they cost?

the reason cranberry is recommended for kidneys is that the skin has something in it that helps things (mainly salts) from sticking to the walls of the kidneys and bladder.
so it helps reduce problems of things accumulating there and growing bigger - you do't want things in there, you want fluid only.

drinking cranapple ocean spray will therefore taste wonderful - but it won't help.

do as they say and get things with the skin in it - pure juice is very bitter. the caps probably won't taste at all.

(the reason I know this is that there was a study done in... upstate NY and it was a good friend of the family that ran the test - went on for a long time - the results were that cranberry skin is gooooood)

Cranberry is used to keep the urinary tract healthy, it has no direct effect on kidneys. The best way to remove toxins is to constantly flush the kidneys, which means water, and lots of it.

For kidneys? JUNIPER BERRY capsules. Juniper is the stuff. Cranberry has nothing on Juniper. Ask your master herbalist.

Why milk tistle?

has anyone proof that this really works as it should?
