    UDCA.
    It and NAC are the only 2 I think are worthwhile and personally take.

    Tren can screw up your liver values heavily.

    I used to think the same thing until I read some studies that showed Liv52 to be effective in preventing the progression of end-stage liver disease in cirrhotic patients. Liv52 performed as well or better than conventional meds, which granted don't work very well for cirrhosis.

    The efficacy of Liv-52 on liver cirrhotic pati... [Phytomedicine. 2005] - PubMed - NCBI

    I never expected find out that Liv52 effectively protects the liver.

    When you take milk thistle, don't you take it in very large amounts? I thought I remembered you posting about that a while back...

    Interesting to see an actual study about liv-52. Glad I take it diligently.

    I'm not trying to answer for Jim, but your questions are able to be quickly answered. NAC is usually taken at doses of 600mg to 1200mg daily. UDCA, when used to treat AAS-induced liver failure (medication is known, generically known as ursodiol), is dosed at 10mg - 15mg/kg daily dvided into 2 to 3 daily doses and taken with fatty meals - more often than not the weight based dosages refer to LBM. Many ppl take UDCA with NAC as it is not a problem. The typical dose for UDCA on cycle is 500mg 1 to 2 times per day depending on what compounds you are taking. You'd take more if you are using tren and an oral for instance, or a particularly hepatotoxic oral such as halo. Of course if you have pre-existing liver issues, such as Hep B or C, then you would be more aggressive with UDCA to prevent AAS induced liver disease. Many who run test only cycles, especially in the beginner dose range, don't take UDCA and while it may not be needed, it certainly can't hurt.

    Absolutely. Injections just skip the first pass, but that doesn't mean they can't do damage, especially tren .

    Far better choices and I wouldn't give GNC a dollar of my money.

    NAC, UDCA, TUDCA, Essential Forte N, Liv52 are better choices.

    All AAS carry the potential for liver toxicity, even testosterone . Tren is significantly worse in regards to kidney and liver toxicity compared to other injectable, unless I'm forgetting about something.

    Tren can screw up your liver values, probably more than any other injectable. It's never too late to get on NAC.

    I was taking a crap load of milk thistle, NAC, and liv 52 for 4 months off gear after a 3 month long test/tren cycle, my liver values hardly came down at all! Others here have had luck with NAC and praise it, but I can not.

    I will be trying out this combo next:
    Liv 52
    NAC
    TUDCA
    Synthergine

    UDCA aka ursodiol, and by extension TUDCA, is the treatment of choice for AAS - induced liver dysfunction. I think ar-r has UDCA.

    Correct, correct, and correct. But it is very expensive through them.

    I haven't seen UDCA on many other research chem sites and I don't think admin would support us posting other chem sources. But sometimes ar-r has big sales and then it's well priced.

    I took Liv52 after a month of Anadrol 50, havn't read any real studies (except the one abow now) but i've read here "**w.liv52.se/" about some benefits: (not a selling intention, ops)
    Translation:
    Why should you use LIV 52?

    - Elevated liver function with the purification of the body as a result.
    - Increases appetite significantly.
    - Increased metabolism which promotes the body's own combustion.
    - Improved protein synthesis which can help increase muscle mass and promotes the overall growth.
    - Have an anti-toxic function, which means that Liv.52 cleanses the body of toxins, such as the strong medication.

    Also i've heard great deals of Milk thistle and also Lipon-acid.

    I don't support the liver supplements...waste of money and bunch of marketing.

    Also for scientific studies...they can be manipulated to show anything. I know many people who take orals with no liv support or who drink like fish....or both at the same time. None have liver problems.

    Personally, if you are at the point in thinking you need a liver supplement, I think you are taking too much of whatever it is making you to think that way. So you should back down the dosage or time on and not use the liver supplements. Your liver is really really hard to **** up....and even if you do mess it up, it heals itself.

    Interesting. Blood work for everyone on earth would say otherwise, including yours.
