and why?
Sam-e, inositol and choline - liver protection but not because of on or off cycle. I have mildly fatty liver
Ubiquinol- heart health, BP, and provides a degree of liver protection.
Vitamin c (3000-5000 mg) and vitamin e (800 IU’s), vitamin d - 2000. Antioxidant protection and liver health.
Ginger raw each day - many studies show it has a psotivr impact on fatty liver and protects against toxic liver substances. Helps with BP.
Probiotics - Believe HMF is the brand, everything starts with digestion,
Betaine - same as probiotic and liver Health.
Licorice root - liver protection and anti-inflammatory herb.
Curcrumin/turmeric - inflammation and pain.
Fish oil - BP, pain, and overall health.
Melatonin - 10 mg at night, one of the best antioxidants and provides significant liver protection from toxic substances.
Milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid, and black seed oil are staples too but at no time do I take all the aforementioned at once. I rotate. That being said Sam-e, melatonin, ginger, Ubiquinol and probiotics are year round.
I don't think you need the milk thistle, it doesn't really do much and your not running oralsI have only started to supplement while I am trying to burn off some fat and stay healthy.
I have never found they had any impact.
However, at 60 and surrounded by doctors and nurses at work I have been nagged endlessly to utilize:
Vit C 1500 mg
Vit D 500 mg
Calcium 500 mg
Magnesium 500 mg
MSM 1000 mg 3 X A DAY
OMEGA 3 1000 MG 2X A DAY
Zinc 10 mg daily
I have done some research and while others may object I am happy with Walmart brand supplements.
I am currently using Milk Thistle for liver support while on Test Cyp 500 Mg weekly. naturally sourced at the health food store locally.
I use turmeric in omelettes mixed with black pepper to activate its best proprieties daily and burgers when i make them.
I use raw ginger if I feel any nausea. Rarely!
I use a pre-workout mixture of beta-alanine, creatine, glutamine, citriline malate.
BCAA's in my water at the gym.
I take a protein drink before the gym with a banana (if I am eating carbs) and another after with an apple before I get home.
I use Allmax products it keeps it simple.
They do impact my workouts and the protein drinks help me get the protein I need since I cant eat enough to fulfill the protein needs.
I feel great, sleep fine, never get sick and have no complaints.
My liver enzymes are all in the normal range and at 6 weeks into the cycle I still have no side affects except a little bloating day after the IM.
