They take a month off and bang right back on to another cycle.

Ok, enough of that...

I applaud you for your understanding of support supps and dilligence to take the necessary precautions.

Ok, here are a couple of things from your list I would not recommend you use. I am sure many will disagree but please understand that my opinion holds for ONLY injectable cycles (non-orals) of AAS NOT PH and is based on my reading and review of published medical literature.

1. Liv 52 is based on Milk Thistle. In several studies, Milk Thistle has been shown to also mimic NSAID in its ability to retard protien synthsis.
2. Saw Palmetto - if you are using it as a DHT block to prevent MPB, it has not been demostrated to be particularly effective. If you are concerned about MPB -go with finistride. I'll gladly tell you how to get it from your family practictioner AND have your health insurance cover it so that it is REALLY cost effective.
3. Fish Oil - see # 1 regarding NSAID

I have not seen any specific publication supporting or refuting the use of garlic. I am not aware of any interactions that might reduce or enhance muscle-building. Therefore, I have no opinion on this one.

Remeber, my recommedations are based on the fact that you are bulking and for injectable only cycles of long ester compounds like Test E + EQ.

Regrads,

Great. Thanks again!

I appreciate all this help and info.

(Great guy, this Dr. C)
