There is no doubt , no bro-science and no confusion when it comes to orals effecting the liver. Any medications or over the counter cold pills, pain killers or even vitamins will put some strain on your liver. We can all agree on that. When someone plans on running any oral steroids they are advised to follow a protocol combining Liv-52 & milk thistle to help the liver rid your blood of toxins. While this is a good protocol and I'm not bashing it at all, both of those together aren't iron clad. There is a better solution if more sources would carry it and make it readily available to us. It's against the rules to name any labs or sources but this is a gray area as it is a pharmaceutical drug and it in all of our benefit to be educated on it. So I have had a lot of people ask me about my lab results posted. Specifically the Hepatic function portion of it. I was using Halotestin at the time which is one of (if not the most) toxic compounds you could use. I was also using tren and test at the time and my hepatic function was not disturbed. My liver enzymes were all in range. It was a flawless panel. The drug Essential forte-n is what I was using along with milk thistle which I always take anyway and Liv-52. There is an oral version of Essential forte and an injectable. The drug is prescribed to people who have liver diseases such as sorosis of the liver, hepatitis C, hepatitis B etc. I used the oral form and it worked beautifully. With it being a pharma drug I was very careful with it and used only half the recommended dose. They are 300mg capsules. It is recommended to take 600mg/3x daily. I only used 1 capsule twice daily and responded well to it. So after breakfast I was taking 2 Liv-52 tabs, 1 essential forte and milk thistle. Then the same after dinner. I have been using this protocol ever since and wouldn't run an oral without it. People need to remember that oral AAS is toxic yes, but there are things people unconsciously take every day that can be far worse. Tylenol (acetaminophen) for one is probably one of the worst things for your liver. So if you're going to get blood work done including hepatic function ,you need to be mindful of what else you took that morning or night before. Alcohol obviously. You could mess up a test by popping Tylenol or drinking a few beers. Also nothing helps your liver like plenty of water. Staying well hydrated helps your liver do it's job. Flush out all that shit and clean your blood. Apparently taking B vitamins is a great help. Essential forte has B-vitamins as well. Most ppl can't absorb B vitamins efficiently through ingestion so they use shots. That's an entirely different topic. The overall goal for all of us, no matter what we are pursuing in the near future should be health. You want to stay as Healthy as possible at all times. That's the name of the game. You only get one liver. Don't fuck it up! If anyone has any other tips or methods they use for liver support , use this thread. Post em' up!
