Milk Thistle-Interesting article from Anthony Roberts

[statik]

So if you go by this article, would one not use milk thistle or related supps while on cycle? I can't imagine it hurting you on cycle, just as much as it may not TOTALLY protect your liver. I am just curious. Anyone cycle mild ones like Hdrol with no milk thistle/liver cleansers at all?

What about using a HgH secretagogue on-cycle rather than shunning the milk thistle?

I think dissuading trainees from using a proven liver protectant such as a Silymarin on-cycle isn't possibly the best course of action for the sake of a small drop in IGF-1.

interesting article....seems like there are many assumptions and grey areas though. Everyone I know have that has taken a support on cycle including Milk Thistle have still had great gains....... id like to see some more information on this.

I was thinking the same thing. I know I'm still gonna use my Cycle Support and PCS regardless. I don't see it affecting gains that much. The best point he had was that lower/moderate doses of PH/PS/AAS is prolly the safest thing for your liver.

well this is why i dose my AAS in the morning workout in the morning and MT right before bed like 3min before bed. that way it all dissolves

I think it is at least something to consider. I have never noticed there to be any negative a effects to my cycles.

Something to do would be either like the above and dose them as far apart as possible or change your liver protectants to something like Liv-52, SAM-e and others. You could make a great liver stack without MT.

However it's in most stacks so may be hard to avoid them. Probably need some more direct studies though before being too hasty.

MT is a staple to my pct. i have never noticed an effect from taking it with AAS even at the same time of the day. the benefits to my liver > than slight less strength if at all

I'll be doing my first Hdrol cycle soon. I was thinking the benefits would outweigh any negative affects on gains as well...

Thanks for the feedback.

I would never use anything without milk thistle or any liver support. Liver Juice by Primordial Performances is top of the line, the LV technology makes it 8 times for effective than the traditional pill form

If I was going to use a milk thistle product this would probably be a big consideration.
