+ 5 Liver health

Ok guys, these are tough times for us all, we're all sharing what we know, I'd like to add. There's been a huge influx of alcohol and recreational drug withdrawal symptoms flooding the facilities, I get it. Many have been there, but if you can sweat it out, at this point you may save a life.
I'm going to keep this brief and to the point, as per my education and knowledge.

Protein- Be reasonable. We all know this, but too much will destroy your kidneys.

NSAIDS- be reasonable. Nothing will fry your kidneys and liver faster than these guys. It's common knowledge, but, just be careful.

Dehydration- Some of us may be viewing this as a great time to lean out for summer. Guys, it's definitely the right time, but the purveyors can still cosign you. Don't look at this as a time to go nuts and drop your water to early 1990s paper think. Again, consider your liver and kidneys.

Sugars and carbs- we do what we do, be careful. We may think that box of cosmic brownies may be a treat, but doing what we do, were more susceptible to blood sugar issues than someone that's used to that diet.

Look, I just hope everyone is well, use common sense in your day to day practice. If you take anything from this post, let be the OTC anti-inflammatory and pain meds. Best wishes everyone, it'll pass.

(Side note- No infections at my facility, and we're taking temperature at the door. In addition, any visible sign of sickness is non admittance. Executive directors directive passed down from CDC).

Synthergine is what we have used for years for liver health.Proof is in the lab work.

SAMe, Tudca, Milk Thistle, Choline, & NAC is my stack for liver health!

Berberine and NAC are proven supplements for liver health.

Mate, speaking of Silymarin, I stumbled upon this old study done on rats, but the abstract is still worth a read. Seems that Silymarin can raise prolactin levels - maybe a good reason to try alternatives.

No probs, mate. We are all here to help each other. Since I'm bored shitless - I will try to find some research on NAC and Berberine and post it up here.

I'm not convinced that Milk Thistle (Silymarin) has any scientifically established benefits - and I took it for years before researching it fairly thoroughly. However both that I have mentioned do...and both have other health benefits as well. Research and make an informed decision. Take care there.

I THINK he's trying to say avoid these...but I don't speak in tongues.

I was and had high liver values but I was week 6 on anavar and I’ve taken 1000 mg a day of naproxen for a decade and 2400 mg Advil a day most days for the previous 18 years before that

I tried Anavar a couple of times and it always raised my sgot/sgpt values. It may be milder, but for me it certainly did have a negative effect - maybe some people are more sensitive to it than others.

Also I did a heavy leg workout before that on cycle blood work which I didn’t understand at the time could give you a high reading on one of the enzymes and also work had been hard and my body was in a state where I was loosing weight/tissue. And also I had a respiratory illness so those could have also contributed to the elevated levels. It was one in particular that was well above range but isn’t necessarily indicative of liver stress, I investigated the elevated enzyme after I got the results and read that a heavy leg workout could cause that and that one in particular was much higher than the others but it still scared me a little so I discontinued use of the oral anavar when I got the results just in case. I was using liver supporting supplements as well like NAC ALA milk thistle and live52. Picked up a bottle of tuda after the test results and added that too.

I've also read that heavy resistance training can elevate liver enzymes for a couple of days after training. I think the ALT is what will be raised looking at blood work.

Yes that sounds right, I just couldn’t remember without digging out my blood work, and I was at work when I replied

My company gives us a discount on our health insurance if we get annual blood work which they provide for free. I use to drink to much but found that as long as I didn’t consume alcohol the day before the blood work my liver values would be within range. Otherwise they would be slightly over range. And that was with using cox-2 inhibitors on a daily basis
