Milk thistle and AS..Medical Prof. response

[bigmk]

Medical Prof.,
Could taking Milk Thistle to detox your liver interfere with the AS you are taking? Im taking dbol right now at a pretty good dose, 50mg per day and was wondering if this would interfere with the success of the dbol. It stands to reason if the Milk Thistle has a counter effect on the AS to the liver there would be some interference to the outcome. So docs what do you say?

no, milk thistle is a great liver protector when using 17AA gear

at 50 mg per day i reccommend thru out the day to run it at 300mgs 3 X a day,increase the dosage if you experience any back pain.
BTW Test would help keep your gains more permanent.!

RADAR,

Thanks for responding. I am running Deca with it at 400/wk. Its funny you mention the back pain though. I contributed my recent back pain to a re-occuring injury which I exaccerbated when I was doing my 120lb. dumbell rows two days ago. You think this can be attributed to the Deca instead? The milk thistle im taking now says 1000mg. per dose. Would this be as effective as taking the lower doses you mentioned (300mg) throughout the day?

Thanks!

i dont know man ive seen 300mg pills and they arent exactly small...make sure its a standardized extract 300mg atleast....not just 1000 of the herb.

Personally, I do not think that Milk Thystle is all that great, but when I took it I ran it at 1200mg ed or so. ALA and r-ALA are much better liver protectors and if you run it with some Tylers Liver Detox, you are as good as you can be.

I would go with milk thistle and N-acetyl Cysteine, both inexpensive and both effective.

FunkMaster,
Im taking "Silymarin Milk Thistle" concentrated herb 1000mg. Should i go get the 300 mg extract instead? Maybe I should run them both since im on 50mg dbol a day(?).

He's right.

I've yet to see convincing evidence that r-ala is better than milk thistle.

And it won't interfere with your gains. In fact, it may help -- allowing your liver to function better. The product "Post-Cycle" is similar to Tylers but it also has Maca, epimedium, N-acetyl Cysteine, Chrysin, Calcium D Glucerate and zinc.

I usually run Milk Thistle at 1800mg ED and never had any problems at all. I would use Tyler Liver Detox but God, it can't be shipped to Canada.....

 

[FunkMasterFlex]

i would def....use an extract....70-80% standardized...and some Vit C and ALA or R-ala.....just in conjunction is all works better.
