milk thistle question

[llrockyll]

how much milk thistle should i take a day and at what time when im on my cycle?

[Tank80]

at least 1000mg per day

[rast4man]

I take 175mg x 3 times daily. Accompanied with NAC and R-ALA, my blood work shows that this dose is efficient for me.

I too have the 175mg caps and I also spilt it up over 3X a day.

wonder laboratories is selling milk thistle real cheap are they legit to buy from?

[rast4man]

I personally like NOW products and even CVS brand. Just make sure in the ingredients it says "standarized to contain 80% Silymarin, 140mg.

I've yet to hear or see any positive feedback from taking milkthristle from a medical study. Does anybody know of any, feel free to post them.

I use Natures Way and its not expensive. Seed Extract thats standardized to 80% Silymarin.

is it a good iead to take 1 pill when i wake up and 1 pill before bed or are there better times to take it?

[rast4man]

breakfast, lunch and bedtime. IMO.

You may not have seen studies, but I did my own study with my own bloodwork. Liv52 did not a damn thing for me at 3 x daily. When I stopped my cycle and did PCT after taking Milk THistle, NAC and R-ALA, that is when my values went normal. I started the next cycle with more harsh orals, and kept the same liver regiment, and the entire cycle went beautifully. I never had elevated liver values. I have the tests to show if you'd like to see them too.

thanx every1. can some1 check out wonder laboratories to see if it good to buy it doesnt say anything about 80% Silymarin. it says milk thistle (seed)
(from 250mg of 4:1 extract)

Has any body heard of Liv52? This is the only liver de-toxifer I've found that has had independent studies showing that it is effective.

I would get it man. You're good to go.

[rast4man]

My bad rast4man, what is the NAC and R-ALA?

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine is NAC. It is a very potent antioxidant.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is R-ALA. It too, is a powerful antioxidant. It also mimics insulin and enhances glucose utilization.

Nor have I...even with diligent searching. Interesting isn’t it? The best study findings were merely anecdotal.

However, many people on orals that pass on MT, or use a non-standardized product (often much cheaper) tend to develop those tiny red bumps (often on the inner forearm, but not exclusively) dermatologically associated with toxicity. Miraculously, they clear up within 36hours after MT administration.
