Loading... Please wait...What is Milk Thistle?
Milk Thistle has been used for medical purposes since the 70's, although the research into it has been uneven and thus there is no 'final word' on it yet as to how effective it is, one thing we can be certain of is in practically every study is has benefited those being treated. In the realms of liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis (liver inflammation), toxin-induced liver damage (including the prevention of severe liver damage from Amanita phalloides ('death cap' mushroom poisoning)), and gallbladder disorders, it has proved effective as a treatment towards relieving these symptons or at worse case scenario improving the condition of the patient.
Milk thistle has a number of benefits overall, including but not limited to;
- Used during cycle and in post cycle therapy for body builders to minimize liver damage during cycle and mend liver post cycle.
- Lowering cholesterol levels
- Reducing insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes who also have cirrhosis.
- Reducing the growth of cancer cells in breast, cervical, and prostate cancers.
- Used in many products claiming to reduce the effects of a hangover.
- Used by individuals withdrawing from opiates, especially during the Acute Withdrawal Stage.
- Reducing liver damaging effects of chemotherapeutic drugs
- Clinical study has shown that liver function tests can be improved in active hepatitis patients.
All of this is fine and dandy, but realistically the only one important to use guys is this first one.
Used during cycle and in post cycle therapy for body builders during Steroid Cycles to minimize liver damage during cycle and mend liver post cycle.
So in the knowledge that a Pro-hormone is more or less just a legal steroid, Milk Thistle is most definitely something we should supplement our cycles with in order to reduce the chances of Liver Damage throughout cycle.
Certainly in compounds such as Superdrol or M1T, Liver Toxicity is an issue that pro-hormone users should take very seriously. After all we need to look after our livers, we only get one of these guys and once it's gone it's gone.
The Milk Thistle we sell is made by Natures Aid, we advise that whilst on cycle to take at least 1 tablet per tablet of whatever prohormone you're taking. If on something harsher such as M1T or Superdrol then 2 tablets if you want to be super safe. Obviously harsher pro-hormones demand for a more strict regime of milk thistle and consistent consuming of it, but we'll let you guys be the judge of that.
