    milk thistle with mild AAS like Var and Tbol

    Just getting some feedbacks from others.

    I was told that milk thistle is not reccommended when on mild AAS cycle, like var and tbol. The reasons being, both substances are not harsh on the liver and by adding milk thistle, it decreases the half life. As a result, reducing the full potential of the substance. What you guys reckon?

    it's not going to reduce the half-life, that is a constant, but milk thistle does mess with the nuclei of the androgen receptor i believe(don't quote me on that) so gains might be slightly retarded

    The classic liver protectant herb.supposedly works by blocking the entrance of harmful substances to liver cells, and hastening their expulsion. Make sure there is a high standardization of Silymarin 80% minimum powerful antioxidant/NAC Supports liver function and production of l-glutathione /ALA 300MG (PRIMA FORCE) powerful antioxidant that works in conjunction with biotin /BIOTIN 1000MCG /FISH OR FLAX OIL Consuming lots of ***** fatty acids promotes overall health, as well as helping to keep your lipid profile from becoming too bad./POLICOSANOL 20MG-Used at 20mg daily to keep your HDL (good cholesterol) levels from crashing, and your LDL from becoming too high./VITAMINS E EOD 400-800IU & C 1000-2000MG help to protect cholesterol from the oxidation that is associated with CVD./NIACIN Preferably the flush free variety. If you wish, niacin can be used at 1-2g ED for a short period post-cycle to normalize HDL levels.

    I USE MILK THISTLE YEAR ROUND !! Regardless if I am on CYCLE or not... IT HAS NEVER DIMINISHED any GAINS that I know of from it's use while using it with the multitude of orals that I have put into my body... then again... I wouldnt know the difference would I??

    Seeings how... since I used it with them and have never used them without it I dont know what kinda gains I would have achieved had I not been eating milk thistle ... so i guess it COULD inhibit gains but since I have gained just FINE and my LIVER is in PRIMO condtion... I dont see why people wouldnt just take the MILK tHistle as a PREVENTATIVE measure, ya know?

    good point bro. what dose of milk thistle do you take? i might just use it during the cycle as a preventative measure.

    milk thistle is overrated, any herbs are going to have very low bioavailability if taken orally. i cant see it hurting gains or helping the liver much either

    I disagree with that.
    A while back leading into a PL comp my liver values jumped sky high, to the point where I was having to go for ultrasounds. Being 6 weeks out I didnt want to get off so I started loading up on the milk thistle and Fish Oils (was already taking them, just uped the dose). Week of the comp I had bloods done again and they were still high, but nearly a third less then they previously were. Nothing else was changed in my diet and I actually ADDED halo that week.

    Now days I dont run orals except for the week of my comps but like The Deuce I still run milk thistle year round. I do use Tren quite often and that seems to inderectly raise liver toxicity levels so I believe it helps keep that to a minimum.

    175mgs 5 times per day... 1 Pill with every meal... I eat 7 times a day technically.. 2 of the 7 times though are protein shakes and I don't take the MilkThis with them.. only when I ingest real food ya know?? so it equals out to 875mgs ED.

    I wouldn't say overrated.. because well it isn't something that EVERYONE swears by, but I know from BLOOD TESTS... that it does in FACT help out with the regeneration of LIVER CELLS. A must for any AAS user that uses heavy orals (PH too) like Drol, Dbol, Winstrol, and Halo.

    Is it something that I advocate that everyone take all the time everyday and if you dont your liver will shut down?? No.. but I will say this... IT'S VERY VERY CHEAP.. and what it does do... is worth the $7 dollar price tag.
