Post Your Essential Cycle Supps

**vein-x** · 12-02-2005, 04:54 PM

My first cycle starts Monday. I know the basic supps, and have most already. But I was looking for some that aren't commonly mentioned as well as the necessary. I have the core, basic ones, and so far I know tomorrow I need to pick up:

Echincea, Tylenol PM (for quality sleep), more liver protectant, laxitives(?) and some ZMA for sure. What others would you reccommend? Just list off the ones you're currently on and others people overlook but are usually need to make a good cycle.

Hawthorn Berry Extract, Milk Thistle (which you have some version of), I think tongkat would be a good idea 4 weeks after PCT. Dutesteride if you are prone, maybe clen for pct and thats all I can think of

All sound good to me. I've got most of that, but what is Hawthrone Berry?

protein powder (whey, casein, muscle milk), extra fats (olive oil, dha, epa), zma, vitamin c, multi vit/mineral, post cycle always run milk thistle.

**Smiley619** · 12-02-2005, 07:04 PM

all your aminos and multi vitamins

**Smiley619** · 12-02-2005, 07:07 PM

and something for your joints if need be

**Montgomery** · 12-02-2005, 07:14 PM

glucosamine chondroitin for joints works like a charm. Also can supplement with HCG every 5 weeks if you're on a really long cycle. Also since I'm a student, I find when I'm on my alertness can go down since my muscles are using all my carbs not my brain, so I take soy lecithin. Also if I'm having troubles waking up I might take a ginko alkaloid first think to get me primed for my workout. Some guys use creatine, I don't. Some guys use taurine, I don't. Glutamine is good though, some protein pows have it built in.

Nolvadex or liquidex (depending on type of gear), B6, milk thistle, multi vitamin, cranberry supplement, amino acids, whey protein and dextrose. I think thats every "supplement" I take. lol

NAC 1000mg, Milk thistle(standardized to 480mg of Sylmarin which is the active ingredient) 1200mg, R-ala 300mg for a healthy liver. It is the correct daily dosage, you don t need more.

You can do that yourself buy a capper and the powder, it is way cheaper!
If u want to buy it already in pills you can find this liver protectant to Anabolic Xtreme they have a product called "Perfect cycle" or Bulk nutrition "Pro liver".

Personally NAC gets me hard half an hour after the intake. ???

evening primose oil
protein powder

ZMA
milk thistle
multivitamin

I would stay away from tylenol PM. Acetametiphen(sp?) is hell on your liver. The sleep aid in tylenol pm is benadryl, if you need something take that. aslo the last study I seen on Echinicea, said it doesn't do crap.

I think their hypothesis is flawed, consequently they're expecting too much, as well as the wrong output. It often touted as booster much like Chondroitin is for Glucosamine. Echinacea augments Golden Seal which supports the immune system.
