Hi guys- due to my current supplementation, a buddy of mine suggests that I take milk thistle and drink cranberry juice for liver and kidney health.
Do any of you guys use milk thistle or cranberry juice- if so- how much do you take and when? Is it crucial you take it each day?
Thanks guys.
Mike

Hi Mike, milk thistle is a great addition to any bodybuilding regime. I've been using it now for a few years. Now, I only use the drops - not the pills (just a personal choice). I use 10 drops in a little bit of water twice a day. Hope this helps.

Thanks Terry. Now if I can just find actual cranberry juice and not "cranberry juice co*ktail" complete with high fructose corn syrup!  |

Mike, I was just preparing lunch when I looked in the freezer and it hit me like a 100lb plate...how about using frozen cranberries and blending them. I've done this for my dad (when he had kindey stones) and he loved it. You just need to thaw them out a little (in the microwave) and add some water.  Terry |

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose??

My understanding is cranberry is used for kidney health - a dieretic.

Milk thistle is for liver health. Cranberry is for kidney health.
