Yes, just take them as directed on the bottle.

i read a study somehwere, sorry i cant remember where, that said milk thistle's effects on the liver were greatly exaggerated. I would do some research and hunt some other supplements that help the liver and stack them milk thistle just in case.

Liv52 is the best I have used.

Honestly, running orals that long at a time is NOT a good idea at all. Just run the dbol for 4 weeks max. The sust should be in full swing at the beginning of week 3 anyways. Dbol on top of sust is a good combo, but there are the estro sides that come in to play. Let your liver take it easy for 2 weeks before going with the winny the last 6. You values should return to normal within the 2 weeks easily.

And Liv52 is called liv52 for a reason. it's for your liver.

Right, exactly the reason I told him to get Liv52. And that cycle is fine, but do space the dbol and winnie apart like dbuff said.

you prolly read it here. search on my name and "milk thistle" to bring up the reference


basically, an examination of many studys done on MilkThistle concludes that no benefit could be established, but side effects could not be ruled out.

stick with solid science and go with

rALA (raciemic form of alpha lipoic acid)
n-acetylcystiene / acetyl l-carnitine

one of the COTB's here (omega) also reccommends l-glutamine for this purpose

what they said about milk thistle is what i understand
there's some doubt about it imparting any benefits

from what I know calcium d-glucarate is very beneficial
and lipoic acid

I've read along those same lines.... but I wonder if the studies were done on products containing a high concentration of sylmarin, the active ingredient in milk thistle? I think 80% is what's considered to be an "effective concentration"?

I agree with the other supplements though...Nelson's "Post-Cycle" has all those ingredients (along with milk thistle) and some other stuff to boost libido.

I prefer tylers or liv52..straight up milk thistle makes my ass smell like a rotten cow im sure alot of us dont need anymore help with that..

 

[njmuscleguy]

I've used Liv52 religiously in the past year or so... always have had my liver enzymes come back elevated after a cycle & PCT... so I'm not sure how much it's helped... I figure any help is better than nothing... until I find something better

POST CYCLE http://www.elitefitnessnutrition.com/Post-Cycle.-Liver-recovery-agent-anticatabolic/M/B000YZ1BEA.htm contains r-ala n-acetylcysteine, plus milk thistle plus pircoliv which is the only ingredient shown to regenerate liver cells. There is nothing better.
