    17AA and your Liver... whats the deal?

    So, I've been thinking... there must be something other than 6 weeks that guides our oral usage... so lets discuss this, hopefully with people who have some info on it.

    Most people say not to go over 6 weeks with a 17AA steroid . Okay, interesting... but what about Var at 1mg a day for a year? Would that be harder on your liver than 365mg in one day? Or is it dosage x days? Or is it regardless of dosage and stricly the number of days... and if so, why? Where does the relationship of days and dosage become more than is safe to do in a stint?

    Okay, if this wasn't clear I'll know in the first few replies and I'll reword it.

    there are a couple of other threads which discuss the hype on 17aa and how it's blown way out of proportion but I can't seem to find them. Not to say you shouldn't run your liver detox and stay safe, but 6 weeks is by no means a max time on.

    as far as dose versus time I'm not sure about. I venture to say that 1mg of var/day for a year will neither seriously damage your liver nor would it be worth doing.

    ....40mg ED- 60mg ED seems to be the "magic number" that gets me percolating...

    indeed. I see some guys saying they run like 25-30mg and get great gains. I just can't see that happening. 40-60 is the zone for sure.

    Right, I agree. If I were to run a cycle of Var, it would be between 40 - 80mg ed. The thing is, I'm looking for the main contribution to the liver stress. Duration, dosage, or duration x dosage... as in...

    Is it a cumulative mg without taking a break where you could exchange a lower dose to extend the period? Or is the period you can use unrelated to the dose?
