Could anyone give me some insight on the difference with the milk thistle being standardized or not? Wal mart has cheap stuff but is not standardized so is this useless?

Standardized just means the company guarantees a "certain" amount of active constituents are present, but this does not mean is better than a non standardized herb.

For Milk thistle --- you want loo for the HIGHEST SILYMARIN content as that is what does the 'magic'. Invalid Link Removedwill be your absolute best bet for a high potency and highly absorbed liver care product.

I have tried several different brands and this is in a league of its own.

Check out liver xt. Its capped and contains plenty of quality ingredients to help with detoxification as well as organ health. It is also very affordable. I have a bottle of liver juice but havent tried it. Waiting on a good methyl..;)

Liver Juice is 500mgs and standardized to 80%, I haven't found another milk thistle product that compares and it is only $20

Umm kind of like a no brainer huh?

Why would you not use something powerful and effective for your liver?

If you like oral steroids --- you will like Liver juice as it will protect that very vital organ for future cycles.

Given the potency it is the best priced by far, stack it with TUDCA/UDCA and you are well protected

The potency and absorption claim is highly question with that product- regardless milk thistle will never provide the same benefits of NAC


*** not bashing Liver Juice but milk thistle alone will only help so much

I have to agree with this. Silymarin has critical pharmacodynamic issues in vivo

Haha I honestly couldn't say from true personal experience, idk. I'm about to run my first cycle, so I've.never had the pleasure of using TUDCA quite yet. It's time will come for me though :D

Why thank u kind sir. Feel free to follow if you'd like. I'll post the beginning log tomorrow, and be sure to PM you if you wanna follow. Start my first dose on wednesday
 
NAC has a pretty low bioavailability 2-5% or so....but I love it for ALL the awesome benefits that glutathione provide. I do belief that the pharmacodynamics of silymarin have good merit for aiding in liver health --Invalid Link Removed

Take both products -- Liver juice and sustained release NAC by Jarrow
