Does milk thistle hinder oral coumpunds from absorbing?

[ZanderCage]

I heard this on a guys channel that i follow on youtube. he said that milk thistle produces a layer over the liver that hinders the absorption of oral steroids . What are your guys thoughts on this?

I actually heard it was the injectable ones because it inhibits the function of the androgen receptor.
If you look at cancer studies and milk thistle, this appears to be true.

so do you think you should only incorporate milk thistle before a night of drinking ?

Good question - I have been thinking about this quite a bit, since I take milk thistle like it’s going out of style

I take both, liquid oral & caps

No. I don’t think you should drink.
I just couldn’t resist.

Always do!

I got a kee off eBay as soon as I seen the other thread about it possibly going away


I pop Liv52’s like tic tacs, do one NAC every day + I’d say close to a gram of milk thistle per day

I'm taking Milk Thistle, Taurine & L-Methionine (and some other stuff like Choline Inositol and others but I don't believe they are liver related). I think I am going to have to replace the Milk Thistle with NAC based on what you are saying. NAC is N-Acetyl Cysteine, correct? I wanna make sure I order the right thing. Any MG recommendation?

I was thinking of just sticking with the Milk Thistle until I run out, but after reading about all the potential benefits of NAC I am going to get some. NAC seems to have a lot more health benefits than Milk Thistle in addition to the androgen receptor issue.

NAC benefits listed online:
-Boosts Glutathione Levels Which May Boost Immune Function (NAC, glutamine, and glycine are necessary for the body to make glutathione. I already take glutamine powder)
-May Reduce Heart Disease Risk By Preventing Oxidative Damage
-May Stabilize Blood Sugar By Decreasing Inflammation in Fat Cells
-May Improve Fertility in Both Men and Women
-Boosts Brain Health by Regulating Glutamate and Replenishing Glutathione
-Helps Relieve Symptoms of Respiratory Conditions
-May Improve Psychiatric Disorders and Addictive Behavior
-Helps With Detoxification to Prevent or Diminish Kidney and Liver Damage

The FDA has “banned” its sale recently but you can still get it. I think Amazon still sells it. I just purchased like$300 worth when I heard about the FDA. I use two tablets of 1000 mg daily when cycling. . I also use TUDCA occasionally.

Good to know I guess I better get some while I can! It seems crazy to me that the FDA would ban something as simple as an amino acid.

Google FDA NAC
I also do not think that anyone accused the FDA of being reasonable.

I just ordered 3.3lbs of NAC from eBay. I just had time to look up the FDA NAC stuff. So this stuff has been safely used since the 1960s but some greedy people market it as a hangover cure, so now we can't buy it as a health supplement? I guess the FDA likes to throw the baby out with the bath water.
