Milk thistle

[seminole635]

I know that most people take milk thistle on cycle to protect the liver... but are there any studies that show this stuff actually works?? I was looking around and didnt find much evidence.

Ive taken it for 2 months before my cycle to help clean and strengthen my liver and thought it worked great. Had not sides at all with my cycle.

yes, mil thistle works. i have been taken for 5 years and never had any problems.

I always take it when on cycle and for 1-2 weeks during PCT, stopped me getting lower back pumps or pains when on the D's and i never went yellow when i took 100mg A-50s e/d so they must do something lol

NAC is a better option IMO at least during steroid use.

I do know that they take awhile to work, so if your liver enzymes are up dont expect them to go down much in one week.

No! The actual studies are all either inconclusive, or show no statistically significant benefit.

However, MT is a renowned liver cleanser and has been since ancient Greece.

Any more info on MT ?

I have been taking it for years and knock on wood haven't had any problems either. I also take Liv52 when on a cycle and I like that too.

Just because you take milk thistle and you have no problems doesnt mean that it works. Anyone had liver values checked before/after milk thistle? Just seems like MT is a myth that everyone seems to follow... I just wish there was a supp that was proven to work.

I personally have not seen any proven facts on MT or LIV 52, but I am still wishing and waiting! All I can say is the only proven method to keep the liver and kidneys flushed is water, water, water and cranberry juice! Just my 2 cents...
