TUDCA - Yay or nay?

[JackTorrance 32]

So what's the real truth about TUDCA?

I researched a lot of different forum threads, and while a lot of people say it's amazing, a lot of people (e.g. Dr. Scally as one example) also say it is useless or even potentially DAMAGING to use.

It's the latter that worries me since I don't want to cause more damage to my liver with a supplement.

I'm currently using NAC (which apparently raises liver values but yet is supposedly beneficial) and Milk Thistle... Both in Rich Piana's liver and organ defender which I'm using.

I use NAC and abuse orals. Milk thistle might as well bin that. TUDCA I can’t justify the cost when I can run NAC year round much cheaper.

[Lewwwiss 30]

use NAC, buy it in bulk very very cheap... milk thistle doesn’t absorb very well in the body hence its s**t.

TUDCA works

this is the best cycle support there is

How does NAC raises liver values? 

 

[nWo 6190]

NAC absolutely does not raise liver values, it lowers them. It's used in the medical field to treat acute hepatoxicity caused by drug overdose, so you could say it works It's also a shite site cheaper than TUDCA despite being just as effective. I've done a heavy oral finisher to a cycle once (50mg dbol & 100mg anadrol every day), my doc had me do some routine bloods a week later which I was concerned about given that I'd just come off 6 weeks of orals, but my ALT values were spot on thanks to the NAC.

Appreciate the recommendation.

What are your thoughts on this discussion where TUDCA is said to be ineffective or even dangerous:

https://thinksteroids.com/community/threads/michael-scally-liver-suggestion.134348624/

And this:

Quote

TUDCA has not and never will be approved in the USA as the FDA will not allow its use. The fact is that tudca can make orals more bioavailable is NOT a good thing.
Here is what that means..the liver struggles its ass off to defeat the oral but the liver losses the fight each and every time. Now you take tudca along with an oral and the liver has to fight even harder because the toxin is now putting up a better fight. This leads to even higher liver enzymes.

The fda does like tudca because they think it give alcoholics a false sense of security...meaning hey I have cirrohsis or on my way to it but I will take tudca. No don't...it makes things worse. Tudca works better when NOT taken with the toxin. So off cycle.

Cheers

And this:

I think scally should stick to his field of expertise which is endocrinology not hepatology

Plenty of bloodwork stating otherwise and if you want my personal anecdote 

My liver values were pretty high at the start of this cycle, I started up the cycle support I listed above alongside my 30mg dbol ed and I feel absolute great, usually I have really bad lethargy by now but absolutely nothing 

Tudca and nac work.

[Halfwaythru 154]

What would be considered an effective dose of NAC?

Going by your log, You have hit some orals for some time of late. have you had bloods to back up the effectivness of NAC in place of TUDCA?

[Dead lee 3077]

I'm using both NAC and TUDCA at the moment, loads of back up for both supplements, more for TUDCA.

TUDCA has direct results on protecting the liver, a lot of what we take effect liver values (orals, trenbolone etc) can only be a good thing, I read the other day about avoiding TUDCA around workouts.

Mate you ever noticed those cycle supports repeating on you after you’ve taken them? Rank taste?

[stewedw 287]

Out of interest, for those who use and rate nac, what dose are wee talking and should it be all year round? 

 

I'm tired as f**k four weeks into my blast, could that be a sign of my liver struggling? Cheers.

I tend to take 1.2mg of NAC and 6 tablets of Liv52 a day when on a blast.

Don't take anything when off but that's just me.

[BULK 1727]

Nac at 1200mg during blast and 600mg rest of year , I used tudca last blast hoping it would help with appetite as I think loss of appetite is down to liver stress just like alcoholism effects appetite loss but it never helped. But no bloods to back up my actual values 

[Deltz123 472]

I saw Some studies which suggested that NAC raises hematocrit and hemoglobine, cant seem to find the studie but I think it was pretty significant (10%+)

[nervje 55]

Nac?

Natrium chloride?
