Milk Thistle / Cranberry Amts?

[sfgiant]

Hi all, I wonder what your thoughts are on the amount needed of Milk Thistle and Cranberry extract:

For example I'm running a 200mg twice a week Para cycle incorporating the above for obvious reasons.

Milk Thistle suggested label dosage = 3 capsules a day = 525mg a day
Cranberry capsules = 4 capsules a day = 2800mg a day

Now I gather this dosage is based on “average Joe” and I presume that it’s for basic “kidney/liver cleaning” for want of a better description.

Well you can see where I’m going with this…shouldn’t I be taking at least double the dosage recommended to benefit from its use??????

It depends on what kind of gear and how much your running.

I'm running 600mg of Deca and 200mg of Parabolin twice a week, I’ll be lowering the Deca amount over the next six weeks.....not a lot of gear, it's just the Parabolin toxicity that I’m concerned about.

I also was wondering how do you spread the dosage of milk thistle and cranberry through out the day?

Its a personal choice, really. I normally dont even bother with milk thistle unless Im running a lot of orals or really high doses. And I normally wont do more than 800-1000mg tops of that. Cranberry I take at 1000mg/day, and depending on how much stuff Im taking I may even drop that to eod. Sure you could be overly cautious and take a lot more, but when you're taking so much stuff already who wants to take an extra 10pills per day?

For your cycle, if it was me, I'd take 1000mg/day of the cranberry for as long as you run the parabolin. Then drop it to eod. And to be honest I wouldnt even waste my milk thistle on that cycle, but 400mg/day should be sufficient.

I dont think it really matters. I take my cranberry all at once, and spread the milk thistle throughout the day by taking 200-400mg at a time.

They are good products and reasonably priced. THey have some graphs and all of research that compares effectiveness of their blends to straight milk thistle and the like. I only started using them, but an aquaintance who's used them awhile told me that even while gassing, his bloodwork shows his liver enzymes in the normal range. Not sure what AAS he was taking though.
