    gear and milk thistle..

    im not on any gear right now, in fact ive been off of it for about a year and i dont plan on going on it for the foreseeable future..


    but i just started taking milk thistle today and was wondering how long i should take it for.. i hear you should only go on it for 2 weeks?

    Milk thistle is used for liver, kidney, and gall bladder problems. it protects the liver from toxins such as when you are doing an oral steriod I dont see the purpose of taking it on a daily basis unless you have liver problems or any of the listed above ,if you were doing a cycle with an oral front load you could use milk thistle or liv52 to protect your liver from the toxings. Milk thistle is one of the natural anti-inflammatories, although not the most potent one Omega3 fish oil is arguably the most potent natural anti-inflammatory. The best multi-nutritional formulas can provide everything that you need to minimize inflammation throughout your body, except for the omega-3 fish oil.You’ll need to take that separately.But you don’t need to take a dozen different supplements.

    I take milk thistle when I run orals but I have read the liv52 is far superior. Has anyone read that milk thistle interferes with the effectiveness of aas and androgen receptors? I have read that on a few other forums.

    There may not be any scientific studies but I am 100% certain milk thistle helps my hangovers. If I take 2 a couple hours before drinking then the next day I have no sickness at all. I still get the headaches but that is through dehydration. When I forget to take any, then the next day I am almost always nauseous.

    it would be a massive money maker hit if that was the case?

    To be fair the majority of people don't know about it. I only found out via reading it online and thought I would give it a go. If you drink, Give it a go and see what you think.

    i honestly cant see it doing anything mate, think about it, it would be a multi million quid industry if it cured hangovers

    Not a fan of Milk Thistle from everything I've read.
    Liv52/Livercare is dirt cheap (like $20 for a 180ct bottle), and UDCA/TUDCA is incredible for liver protection.
