I take b5 500mg 4x a day with my multivitamins and as for milk thistle when I am on a cycle, I take 1200-2000mg/d spread out.

If I didn't answer your question, I am not sure I understood it, sorry.

Can anyone find any good research on milk thistle? I like most, fork over $30 for a bottle and use it at a gram ed while on. Heres what the FDA says about it

FDA has evaluated the data and information in GRAS Notice No. GRN 000066 as well as other available information. The notice does not provide a sufficient basis for a determination that milk thistle extract is GRAS under the conditions of its intended use.

Substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)).

Wondering if anyone has found any good studies on it.

Take the mistle thistle several times a day if possible and try for at least a gram of the stuff. 2-3 gallons of water daily is where the real money is for liver protection.

Did you get this from a supplement sales sites? FDA says they wont vouch for any of that.
