as far as support supplements for being on a cycle of oral steroids, which should I avoid to not compromise my x-factor results? I think a rep said milk thistle, what else? Any good recommendations to a solid product?

Saw Palmetto is fine. In actuality since it's a 5-LOX inhibitor it could be beneficial to combating side effects of X-Factor. Saw Palmetto should inhibit 5-LOX without inhibiting other AA function for the most part (so it really shouldn't intefere with the effectiveness of AA). Now how effective it will be in combating side effects I can't really comment for certain on as I've never seen any studies relating supplemental use of a 5-LOX inhibitor while simultaneously adding an exogenous AA source. But at the very least it shouldn't have any ill-effect on X-Factor. Some have even commented it could potentiate the effects of AA.

As far as the Milk Thistle I doubt it will have any negative impact either. Perhaps at a high dose it could slightly intefere (but really you shouldn't be using that high of a dose of MT anyway). Now I'm not sold on its effectiveness as liver support for an oral steroid cycle (But I still recommend Cycle Support since the over blend is very well thought out). As far as liver support I'd recommend
2-4 weeks before cycle
Liv-52
During Cycle
Liv 52
Liver Longer
During PCT
Liv 52

Just my 2 cents
