AP and Milk thistle

[Myster]

Just wondering if we would still need to use something to protect the liver. I know most supplements do some kind of damage to the liver. So just wondering if you need it with AP? Or any USP Labs products.

thanks in advance

I'm fairly certain its not a concern, though I'd wait to see what a rep says.

...I know most supplements do some kind of damage to the liver...

That statement is utter nonsense. Herbs do not damage the liver under normal dosing conditions. AP is an herbal extract not an oral steroid (most of which are modified to pass thru the liver which does some celluar damage as the liver attempts to metabolize the compound). The extracts in AP are not toxic under normal dosing dosing conditions.

Not needed. If you wanted to use a liver support anyway I wouldn't use milk thistle, instead opting for NAC or maybe Thermolife's Liver Longer.

Speaking in general terms (because it will vary based on the active metabolites produced because of enzymatic conversion) much of the damage done to liver cells stems from the production of free radicals inherent within the described process. In general, the production of free radicals has not been a large concern with the enzymatic processes involved with herbals. I.e., MT isn't necessary.

Thanks for the response.
