what benefits do you guys see from using stuff like this?
Liver provides heme iron, B-12, folic acid, and a full spectrum of amino acids.
I believe they give me noticeably increased energy levels - likely from the B-12 - and I feel stronger during consistent use.
Liver is also supposedly good for tissue repair.
There’s a lot of literature on their vast array of benefits, although some articles almost make it sound as though they can cure cancer.
I feel better, in general, when taking them in substantial amounts.
I feel like I can train a bit longer and harder, but that could also be partly attributed to placebo effect and the fact that anyone’s conditioning will improve after several weeks of serious training, so of course they‘ll feel in better shape.
Monty, do you give blood? They would tell you if your iron levels were off.
I worked my way up to taking 70 tablets per day of the 30-grain Universal Nutrition tabs.
I don’t give blood, but last summer I had a battery of tests done as part of a very comprehensive physical/medical exam for acceptance into my medical program.
Those tests included a plethora of blood work.
I can’t recall everything they tested for, or even if iron count would be noticed, but no one ever mentioned anything to me.
My PCP knows I use OTC training aides and always makes it a point of telling me how unnecessary/undesirable they are, so…
