OK...we all do steroids. And we all know there are side effects to steroid use. With long-term use of high dose anabolic steroids there is an increased risk of liver damage or developing liver cancer. Life-threatening complications are also seen in the body by the use of anabolic steroids, and the most affected risk is associated with liver damage. Damage to the liver is evident when enzymes called aminotransferases to leak out of damaged liver cells into your bloodstream. Liver damage from anabolic steroids can also cause a condition called cholestasis. With this condition, bile, a digestive fluid made in liver and leaks out into the blood. Symptoms like itching, nausea, loss of appetite, dark urine and jaundice etc. So...how can we continue to use anabolics, and at the same time protect the liver? Let's examine a few things:

Only specific steroids can damage the liver i.e. alkylated steroids can give bad impact on liver function. Alkylated steroids are oral steroids that are:

1.not able to eliminate toxins present in liver without letting them get in the blood
2.avoid breakdown of toxins into the liver
3.inhibits the excretory function of liver.



Oral steroids are C17-Alpha Alkylated (C17-aa), which refers to a structural change in the hormone at the 17th carbon position. The reason for this modification is to help the drugs survive the first pass through the liver, where they can enter your system and provide benefits. But the downside is that the C17-aa modification also makes oral steroids toxic to the liver and is not able to eliminate toxins. Due to the liver toxicity, oral steroid usage should be limited to a maximum of 8 weeks. But the liver is a recover organ that’s able to heal and rejuvenate itself. It does not mean that you should over-excited and do not take responsibility to protect your organs.



The severity of side-effects of oral steroids and other drugs simultaneously increased the risk of liver and makes them more hepatotoxic. This might be associated with fatty liver disease, hepatic tumours, chronic vascular injury, and acute cholestatic syndrome. These changes occur in the liver might be life-threatening or recoverable.


1. USE NON-ALKYLATED STEROIDS

The chemical substitution occurring in testosterone occurring in the body in two forms are the 17-beta-esterification and the 17-alpha-alkylation. Testosterone is metabolized rapidly in the body; the esterification of the 17-beta-hydroxyl group makes the molecule more hydrophobic. The 17-alpha- alkylation induces the inhibition of metabolic deactivation by oxidation of the 17-beta hydroxy group in the liver, thus 17alpha-alkylated androgens can be effectively administered orally. Often the alkylation of the C-17 position of testosterone alters the relative anabolic potency about the masculinizing effects (androgenic steroids). The most used oral anabolic steroids are mesterolone, methandienone, methenolone, methandrostenolone, methyl testosterone, oxandrolone, stanozolol. The oral forms are resistant to immediate degradation and hepatotoxic.
Use non-alkylated injectable steroid as a base if you want free from liver susceptible effects. The injectable agents have undergone esterification of the 17-beta-hydroxy group to make them more soluble in lipids, leading to a slower release of the steroid into circulation. When these esters of testosterone i.e. testosterone enanthate, cypionate, and deaconate are administered in an oily suspension, they are released very slowly into the aqueous plasma because of their hydrophobicity. This extends their duration of action. Indeed, an important metabolic pathway of testosterone and its synthetic derivative is oxidation of the 17-beta-hydroxy group with the formation of the 17-keto metabolites. These polar metabolites are biologically inactive in the body. The injectable steroids are boldenone undecylenate, nandrolone decanoate, nandrolone phenpropionate, nandrolone undecanoate, testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate, testosterone propionate, trenbolone, trenbolone acetate, stanozolol.

The use of oral steroids alone is contraindicated. It puts a high pressure in the liver. If you want to keep your liver healthy, take a stack of an injectable with an oral. This would be beneficial for bulking as well as cutting. The dosage will not be higher than 350-750mg per week of stack and cycle duration would not be exceeded beyond six weeks.

2. TAKE SUPPLEMENTS TO PROTECT THE LIVER
You should supplement with a liver aid that provides all the building blocks needed to restore and repair your liver during and after oral steroid usage. If you use oral steroids in a responsible fashion, your liver enzyme levels will only slightly increase on cycle, and return to normal levels shortly after use is discontinued. Beyond supplementing with a liver aid during and after your cycle, you should also avoid any other activities that may be stressful to your liver, including some medications and excessive alcohol consumption.

3. UTILIZE SHORT CYCLES
Choose short steroid cycle over long cycles. Short duration cycle keeps the liver activity is still in normal condition and steroid influence is not devastating. High steroid dosage for a long time is too dangerous for your health risk. If you want to make your steroid cycle longer then replacing orals with the injectables is necessary. Use injectable steroid which carries the same effects as oral did and start your cycle with the 7th week.

4. TAKE BREAKS DURING CYCLING
Using more steroids continuously is not a productive method and leads to liver damage. The more steroids you take the higher resistance your body builds to it so that they become inefficient after a period of time. That’s why to take breaks and let the body detach from toxins that entered it during the time. Allow body time to get back in normal functioning. The liver has the property to regenerate itself if proper time is allowed. This property also works with other vital organs. After a while, you can get back in cycling.

Just remember...the liver is your body’s primary fat-burning organ, and it regulates important sex hormones such as testosterone. A healthy and well-functioning liver will make fat-loss and muscle-building goals much easier to achieve. The simplest things you can do to keep your liver healthy include: avoiding excessive alcohol consumption; following a healthy diet; getting regular exercise; and avoiding certain medications if possible. Before getting involved in any steroid cycle, make sure your liver function is normal.
 
Good read bro Dragon extreme important as we age. I have always ran long cycles but going to try the shorter route. My last cycle I ran Parabolan @ a significant level with test dhb and primo. I always get bloods before and after. Liver enzymes were high took nac and milk thistle whole time still went up higher in past took a month and 2 wk forced lay off to bring it down. Some high renal readings as well going for recheck on that. We only got one liver and we we lived fast and hard when your young it takes it toll. Very important to be aware of, Thanks bro Dragon! Side note Tren can be HEPATOXIC oral or INJECT always check bloods!
 
There is a liver protection protocol that includes glutathione, choline, inositol, and maybe another supplement I can't remember off hand that is amazing when running any type of 17aa. I will take some time to look it up and post here. IMO it needs to be a sticky and should be used whenever some one is cycling.
 
Damn amazon fd up and i been wo my liver sup for over a month :/
 
New order set to arrive monday after several delays
 
Plus I take other stuff for it
 
Tudca, NAC, Milk Thistle, WATER !!!
Take these regularly!!!
Drink Water people !!!
 
anyone use turmeric for liver?
lots of actual studies on it for liver
 
I also take Tumeric, but for the curcumin.
Brain Function !
But I know it does good for inflammation and for the liver. Hey why not take it for all those reasons !!!
 
I have been drinking green tea with Tumeric doc suggested it Tumeric fights inflamation Green tea antioxidant Also took a liver product years ago from LGI called damage control. Anyone seen it around? I hope that stuff Dragon was talking about gets posted. This is of extreme importance to bro s like us.
 
It it starts off with me taking injectable glutathione M, W, F at 100mg per day. Don’t take more thinking it’s going to be cleaner or get cleaner faster, you will only feel out of sorts cause it’s potent.

Now this next part is to rid the liver of fatty tissue that builds up taking heavy orals or just how we live in general, but the gear doesn’t help. All chemicals are on amazon.

3000mg inositol
3000mg choline
5g l- methionine

take these threw out the day for 3-4 weeks, and I guarantee not only will you feel better but the gains are better!

no I will not take the credit for this procol, it was given to me a long time ago by a pro friend, but it’s what the pros have been doing for decades, to rid the liver of the fatty tissue. Couple different people argue you should do it every 1/4 with others saying once a year. I do it once while I’m on heavy and again, When I ramp down.

beware to my slin guys, at week 2 ur gonna get very sensitive so cut the slin in half or just gauge it, I’m thinking since your system is so fresh everything hits so much harder.

I sware by clean insides, bigger gains, and better overall feeling. Blood results won’t lie, and my liver counts haven’t been out of control even on halo, drol, and dbol at the same time.
