Uni-liver Tabs

Hi

 

[w8tlifterty]

I love them...used them for the last several years. As i have understood the iron in them is high but not enough to cause any health issues. I know a lot of "old timers" swear by them. Give them a try for a month, i do 4 tabs either with meals or in between and notice great energy, increased appetite (maybe due to the amt of b12) and just better overall workouts. I also chew them first tho, in my mind i think it helps for absorbtion Man, they so cheap you really cant go wrong.

I liked them, but even with the amount of fiber I take in, still made me constipated

I don't like added iron in my diet.

Iron deficiency in men is very uncommon. Many on HRT already struggle with overly elevated RBC production. Why add fuel to the fire? Studies in just the past few years are pointing to some very unhealthy reasons for men not to have elevated iron levels. And I should mention that years ago, before these studies were known, I did supplement with liver tabs.

I get my protein from other sources and I use a multi-vitamin without added iron.

Just my opinion.

I think i read somewhere that the ones by Beverly Nutrition were better

 

[BigBastard]

I use it all the time. I take 2-3 tabs a meal when I only have one proteinsource in the meal.

12 bucks is almost free. Costs me 2X that, because I live inside EU. Still cheap I think.

Do any of you guys use Uni-liver tabs? Can you tell me your positive and negative experiences with them? How many do you take a day? and lastly...Do i need to worry about the large amount of iron in them? I was under the impression that too much Iron in men was a bad thing. Thanks fellas.

This is a repost of something I posted 6-7 years ago at BodyBuilding.com. This is an old post. And I just decided to post it exactly as I did back when. So keep in mind that some of the attitude may be over the top.

According to Vince Gironda, the "Iron Guru", desiccated liver contains nucleic acids for proper amino-acid utilization, a growth factor and an anti-estrogen factor, which keeps testosterone levels high, and it is also a great anti-toxin.

"... liver tablets are one of the most potent training aids for the bodybuilder. The formula is an extract which contains only trace amounts of fat and cholesterol, but forty-five times the nutritional value of whole beef liver, yet with all the nutrients and enzymes of raw liver."

"...being very high in useable bodybuilding protein of the highest quality (it contains all the essential amino acids). It's a strong blood builder supplying heme iron. It is a very rich source of B vitamins, especially riboflavin, niacin, B-12, and the lipotropics choline and inositol. It's a good source of vitamins A, C, and D and other micro-nutrients and very rich in minerals such as the anti oxidant selenium, phosphorous, copper, zinc, and GTF chromium (insulin regulator). In addition to these known nutrients, there are substances present in liver shown to have a beneficial effect on health, fitness, and endurance such as cytochrome P-450 and others that have yet to be officially identified. "


"In a classic experiment, Dr. B. H. Ershoff demonstrated that liver extract was able to boost strength, endurance, performance, and resistance to stress and disease. In a nutshell here's how this occurred:

Dr. Ershoff took three groups of rats and fed them controlled diets for a twelve week period. Group one ate a basic diet fortified with vitamins and minerals. Group two ate as much as they wanted of the same diet plus B vitamins and brewer's yeast. Group three ate the basic diet but had 10% desiccated liver added to their rations.

Then the doctor placed the rats one by one into a drum of water, out of which they could not climb. Therefore, it was either swim or drown. The group one rats swam an average of 13.2 minutes before they all drowned. Group two, an average of 13.4 minutes. Group three, however, were still swimming at the end of two hours, at which time the experiment was concluded. Now either the group three rats had watched the fate of their counterparts very closely and really became proficient at swimming, or the desiccated liver had something to do with them swimming almost 10 times as long. As far as we know, no other supplement has even come close to liver in improving performace under stress."

PS: (**I know we're not rats. But the supplement industry of today does even less testing than this to back up their products and tells us they're good for us. And then there are the ads in the muscle mags that are just straight bull. They will tell you anything you want to hear.)

....ENJOY

OK. That's that positive side. On the negative side, I've never had a problem with shell fish. But after taking 26g of desiccated liver 6 time a day for a few months I developed sensitivities from excessive Iron. And after having a few pieces of shrimp I ended up in emergency from anaphylactic shock.

And then there are those that simply can't digest those buggers very well. And they can clear out a weight room with just a small amount of escaping gas.

havent' used them in a few years but i always loved liver tabs, I always feel great and energized while on them and my strength is better while on them also. recovery is better, and they are cheap as hell, I just try and not take a whole bunch throughout the day, I may take 2 with each meal at most, scared of too much iron so I take it easy on the dosage, but still get great benefits.

I always keep some in the house cause my wife has a rare blood disorder and she has low iron because of it sometimes so she takes liver tabs for her blood.
