When to take milk thistle?

[JimiW]

I have been reading a lot about milk thistle and I have come to the conclusion that is will be including this in my cycle.

But what i wasn’t really clear about is when to take it.
I want to do 4 weeks op dbol and because dbol is really liver toxic it would make sense to take the milk thistle. Ex week 1-6. But I have also read that taking milk thistle will reduce the potentcy of oral steroids.

So what is true? Do you take it while on oral steroids or after the orals. Or do you take it before you start your orals (to create sort of a buffer if that is possible???) Or do you only take it during pct and downtime to the next cycle.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I was thinking maybe this is supposed to be in the supplement forum. But then again it is steroid related. Please move it if it posted in the wrong forum

I.M.O start taking milk tistle from de 1st day u start ur cycle

[Swifto]

Some take it year round. I do.

Isn't it true then that using it on cycle will diminish your gains?

[Liftnainez]

The saying that milk thistle will diminish gains has been going around for a while.. I have read on numerous occasions that it does not.. but look at is this way: even if it did it would be VERY SMALL..wouldnt you rather your liver stay as healthy as possible rather than gaining another pound??? It will not make a difference bro.. take 1000 mgs of milk thistle daily.. and like swifto said some take it year round... im currently on nothing but taking 500 mg of it per day anyway.. good luck

how could milk thitsle dimish your gains?

[shadyadam]

Take 1000mg daily during your cycle and PCT...are you running just an oral cycle BTW?

I take 175mg 3 x daily on top of NAC and R-ALA and my blood work has come back near perfect every time. I have done WInny and Adrol and am about to finish up my cycle with Winny again. I usually take MT year round to keep my liver enzymes in check.

[JimiW]

Not running anytime yet. But am planning on doing a 4 week dbol cycle with test e as a base for 14weeks and maybe eq for 12. So just 1 oral

yeqa i must concur it is good to make it common practice to take mt year around it pramotes good liver and kidney health so it is something that u should take even if ur not gearing it up.

wouldnt you rather your liver stay as healthy as possible rather than gaining another pound???(good advice

I run milk thistle at 600mg daily with my cycle which has dbol in it and have noticed great gains, so concluding it prolly doesnt do much to diminish your gains. Take the m.t. its worth it!

i would like some kind of scientific evidence showing how milk thistle would effect oral's if anyone is willing to back the statement up? i've never heard of that yet, but it never seemed to affect my gains personally, but if there is some truth behind it, i'd like to hear more.

personally, i never take more than one alpha-alkylated oral at a time, even with milk thistle. injects are so much better on you in my opinion.
