My bodybuilder friend in the gym seems to think I am moron if I don't take liv52 with milk thistle.

Is this yet more broscience or do I really need it long term?


liv52/milk thistle is crap. the active ingredient silymarin (or however you spell it) is incredibly poorly absorbed.

you're much better off taking NAC and drinking a big glass of fresh squeezed lemon and grapefruit juice.

Cant agree more. I can surely conclude this on the basis of my liver values taken after dbol with liv52 usage and dbol without it.
Liv52 does nothing for liver.
But at 50mg/day or so dbol, I dont think one has to worry about liver. Its not that toxic that many forums made it to be.
I am soon going to pay heed to ESFitness advice and run it at the dosage of 100mg/day and see what happens.
Am sure only positive things will happen except some bloat which I can deal with for the time being.

I think liv52 is weak. I prefer a liver support with a high dose of NAC and TUDCA, e.g Damage Control by LGI Labs (only 30 bucks for 4 weeks). I have gotten tested after taking pro hormones while taking this product on cycle and my values were normal, albeit I haven't taken values while not taking the product, so I can't really make a comparison.

If nothing else, there are ingredients in the product that are known to be beneficial to the body. Here's a link with the product ingredients:

NAC and UDCA, if ur bottle of NAC comes with milk thistle, great... but milk thistle on its own is meh.. it is an anti oxidant which can't hurt.
