TUDCA questions for TUDCA experts

[Landmonster]

Hi all.

I'm curious how to run the supplement TUDCA to prevent liver damage from an oral AAS cycle. I've been searching for info about TUDCA both here and the internet, but good information is hard to find.

Let's say, for example, you wanted to run a typical 4-week cycle of a common oral AAS (i.e, Dbol, Anadrol, etc), and you wanted to use TUDCA to protect your liver.

Timing:
1) Would you start the TUDCA the same time as you start the oral steroid? Or should you start TUDCA earlier?

2) Would you end the TUDCA at the same time you end the oral steroid? Or should you keep running the TUDCA afterwards?

Dosing:
3) What is the typical dose of TUDCA needed? Does it vary based on bodyweight, or amount/type of oral steroid used?

Risks
4) Are there any "risks" or side-effects from using too much TUDCA, or from using it too long?

I would start it as soon as you start your cycle and run it for a few weeks after. I would dose it immediately when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed. Try to avoid taking it rite before or after you workout. 250mg x 2 a day is sufficient. Also something cheap you can add to make it even better is N-A-C. Take it at the same time as the UDCA/TUDCA. Just be aware that if you take N-A-C it will show elevated liver enzymes on your blood work. So if you do blood work post cycle stop the Nac a few days prior.

Olympus Labs
-250mg year round
-when using orals I use 750mg Tudca plus 1500mg nac.
- I honestly don't worry about timing then. But usually split
- if I don't use liver supps I get terrible acid reflux/digestion and lethargy.

Just curious- why are you saying NAC will show elevated numbers ?

It's just one of those things it does. They aren't actually elevated but for whatever reason they will test high. I learned this the hard way. If you look on the back of most bottles of nac it will say in small writting how it will make your blood work irregular.
