Signs of liver toxicity from oral steroids
I'm not a huge fan of orals but was used carefully can be great tools for gaining strength and adding muscle. So being that I will be trying orals for the first time next cycle I wanted to post some signs of liver toxicity for guys who have used them or over use.
The liver injury generally arises within 1 to 4 months of starting orals but may be delayed to as long as 6 to 24 months. The onset is usually insidious with development of nausea, fatigue and itching followed by dark urine and jaundice. Jaundice and pruritus can be prolonged even if the anabolic steroids are discontinued promptly. Yellowish tint in the eyes as well.
Liver toxicity can be avoided by only using orals in short burst and by added supplements like milk thistle and liver 52 to your diet. All orals dont have the same toxicity as each other but that doesn't mean not to take precautionary measures.
All in all be careful and use these tools properly and if you experience any of the above symptoms stop and get yourself checked out. After all you only get one body.

I cant even imagine what olympian status oral cycles look like, but i can guarantee you its not even in the same ball park as what you will be advised to use here.
I dont recall ever even reading a thread on here from someone with liver problems from orals. maybe I missed them? and surely not from the oral cycle advice given on this site.
I agree and know that no one on here will advise the use of anything near that, I was just referring to the forum that a few of the guys had copy and pasted links on here. I'm new to orals and have never used them and just wanted to post some warning signs for guys or a new and unfamiliar with orals like myself
I think this was it (Flex W & Paul D): http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/anabolic-steroids/too-much-oral-...
I can't think of anything better than the habit of regular lab work. I used to draw blood every three weeks on cycle, but now I'll do it every two weeks if it is a heavy cycle. You will get plenty of advance notice from the labs telling you to stop something before it's too late.
There are many good posts here on this. Use the search bar and check them out. Here is a good one: http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/anabolic-steroids/too-much-oral-...
Yeah I read this awhile a back, scary stuff
Look at the early deaths of greats like Larry Scott and Sergio Oliva. I read a story bout Sergio dumping d-Bol into his hand not even counting the pills just judging by the mound of pills covering his hand. He was heard to have said "time to grow". They didn't know better back in the day but we do now. What we are doing now will come back and bite us in the ass later!
I think the best liver support currently available is TUDCA followed by Essentiale Forte N.
Why does everything fun in life have to be bad for us lol? I guess a few weeks on them is all we really need tho.
Lol absolutely right brother, very true and better safe then sorry. I remember reading somewhere on here an article about flex wheeler now after abusing orals and it's ashame.
