Are liver tablets, such as Liv 52, a worthwhile supplement for a natty? I keep seeing it and hearing about it, but mainly from people on PED's?

liv 52 is a great product if you are not into using toxic oral steroids and doesn't cost a fortune like the above mentioned product.
 
I think for liver support, you'd be much better off with Liver Assist XT over Liv52. It comes in 2 sizes, a 90 cap and a 180 cap.

Here is a link so you can see the write up and also I'll put the supp facts below it:

Liv 52 aren’t up to much for anyone to be fair, if you want liver protection, look at TUDCA.

I posted the info about Liver Assist XT above which is great for liver protection but I do agree that TUDCA is a great product as well.

We just received it back in stock under CEL. Here's a link but people can also get it from a number of CEL retailers as well:

For people looking for TUDCA, I always caution to be very careful and buy from a trusted brand that tests every batch of raw materials. There are a lot of materials out there that the purity level isn't what its supposed to be or that has other things mixed with it to reduce costs. And some brands that just straight out lie - like you'll see some brands you've never heard of pop up on Amazon and claim to sell TUDCA caps for less than they actually cost to make if you factor in the Amazon fees.
 
So I gather the "It helps with nitrogen retention and in turn muscle growth" thing isn't true then?

there are dozens of things that work on a microscopic scale. that doesn't mean it extrapolates to muscle growth or performance. I am not aware of a single person who has ever came on here and claimed to have gotten muscle gains from liver protective supplements.

Quite a few of the older generation bodybuilders at my gyms swear by it, so was just interested in other opinions/thoughts on it.
 
are you sure? i mean i remember the old timers used to love to take the desiccated liver tablets but thats entirely different.

When prohormones got popular almost 20 years ago, Liv52 was one of the first liver care products to come out that was promoted to go with them. The exclusive distributor for that company at the time promoted the product to brick and mortars (still the big thing back then 20 years ago) as helping protect the liver AND increase the effectiveness of the ph's. So a lot of them then used it as a sales pitch to customers.

So a lot of the older generation (as you call it haha) was sold this product y being told it would help their anabolics/ph's work better. So put that in perspective - they weren't generally just taking Liv52; and they probably really did or still do believe it helped those other products work better.

But there is nothing in there that is going to lead to muscle growth to a noticeable degree. I could go into a big time sales pitch with Liver Assist XT's ingredients and make it sound really cool and tout muscle building, anti-inflammatory, and recovery properties but that's just not me. I steer clear of the overexaggerating stuff like that and just sell it as what it is, a great liver support supplement that contains some ingredients that do provide a lot of other benefits as well. One thing thats not an exaggeration is to say that from the standpoint of containing researched ingredients at their efficacious doses, Liver Assist XT is a much superior product.
