for what you spend on those, would the dbol equivalent give better results?

I've found the defecated liver tabs taste kinda funky.

I've never tried them. However I do remember back when I worked at the Vitamin Shoppe, this big guy, probably early in his fifties sporting a du-rag and sweat pants pulled up clearly past his navel region, would buy a huge jar of the tabs along with with a box of met-rx every two weeks.I stopped asking people why they took certain supplements after my 3rd week there. Mainly because I usually received off the wall "fairy tale" answers in return 30% of the time.

used to take 30 to 40 of them everyday back in the early 80's.  They were a big thing back then

Post by: mrpure on August 11, 2009, 01:55:03 PM
I tried them but they would not digest properly! I tried to chew them and only take 2 instead of 4 to 6 per meal and it still sent me to the bathroom. Of course when I stop taking them the bathroom problem stopped!  They may work for you but not for me!

i just swallowed the liver tablets I never chewed them as that would not taste nice one bit.

liver tablets are old school, beverly international still makes them but you have to take 40 a day
swallowing 40 pills that size a day gets old very very fast

x2. I use to take Universal brand. 6 with each meal. I think they worked but i always felt like my breath stunk and of course never pass gas within 50 feet of anyone. I think just regular amino tablets (like Universal Amino Tech) work about the same without the bad smell. Not too hard to swallow, you get use to it after a while. Get use to the taste too, but the smell thing is always there.

Beverly International has the best.  Just a pain in the ass to take all those pills.

1-3 is too low to experience any kind of noticeable results - even with the 30 grain tablets.
Even with the larger tabs like the ones Beverly makes, you need to take a good many – like 25-50 – but divided throughout the day, or else you’ll kill the people around you.

Taking only several at a time & spread out will help some with the digestion problems if you have any.
Most people who are dissatisfied with them usually take too few to gain any benefit.


used to take 30 to 40 of them everyday back in the early 80's.  They were a big thing back then

If you are who I think you are then I know you were not alone in using these, and you probably were around guys who took a lot more than that!

When I used to train under Vince Gironda's diet plans, liver tabs were big. I'd take 30 a day in between meals. It could bloat you up, no doubt, but it was a cheap, quick source of protein. Then protein bars came out...

Dessicated Liver=400tabs for 15euro

Vince Gironda swore by them.I remember first buying some in 1979 and instead of swallowing them i chewed them,then puked them back up.A guy i trained with in 83 was a top amateur in Britain and he took them all the time as well as eating pounds of grilled liver every day.When he dieted for a show he had grilled liver with salad 5 times a day.I know of a couple of people who used to blend liver up with water and drink it straight down.There used to be a supplement in the 80s called Liquid Liver,it tasted foul but you still drank it.

Now if I was to take dbol,which obviously I wouldnt,being an upstanding member of the community and all,I would pay 120euro for 1000

Johnny Fuller?
My old training partner was a guy called Steve wright who placed 4th in the lightweights in 83 British Champs,whose diet consisted solely of liver and salad five times a day.His physique was a cross between Danny Padilla and Lee Labrada,and he was 100% natural. I remember reading that Fuller used to blend liver up with water.Some local guys in Nottingham used to blend guiness up with milk,eggs and bananas.

Ive read the same thing about Johnny, also that he would sleep with a vinyl garbage back over him to help sweat out water to get cut, wonder how much of those stories were true, great bodybuilder though!

amino tabs = biggest scam ever.

Price-wise the aminos with hydrolyzed whey are one of the biggest rip-offs going. You're paying a lot for simple whey powder put in a capsule or pressed in a tab.
