Hope you are all doing well!
In week 12 of my cycle below:
Week 1 – 12 = Test E @ 500mg weekly
Week 3 - 12 = Primobolan depot @400mg per week
Week 1 – 18 = Proviron @40mg ED
Week 1 – 6 = Tbol Kickstart @ 40mg ED
Week 13 – 18 = Anavar at 60mg ED
Week 19 - 23 = PCT 1 as per the sample cycles
HCG from week 1 @ 500ui weekly
Did a LFT, Kidney and Cholesterol test, as I was concerned about my elevating enzymes. Based on the results below, will you advise I continue with Anavar next week?
Oupa - I know you said I will be fine, and that Anavar is "light" but do you still believe so after the results below? This is only my 2nd cycle, and I just want to ensure I am not causing harm to my liver. If I'm over paranoid, you are welcome to point that out!!
Thx and appreciate your comments and feedback!

I see you are taking Essentiale, are you also taking some Milk Thistle?
If you really want to avoid the Anavar, why not consider using test prop for your bridge as you seem to be enjoying the test. I ran a winstrol & test prop bridge on my 1st cycle and think I will run test prop as a bridge again.
Test propionate has a half-life of 4.5 days, so it is in full swing within around 2 weeks and then you will be ready to start your PCT after 2 weeks of stopping it.
It was discussed how to run the prop as a kickstart / bridge in my thread here: www.anabolicsteroids.co.za/forum/4-cycle...6091-psy-s-2nd-cycle
For some Abs are made with lighting & angles... For others they are made in the kitchen.

I would advise not to take an oral and bridge with a short ester Test.

Just double check the curcumin-novasol Product Interactions. Should be fine.
Folks must do a little more support on the liver running these oral cycles it seems. Essentiale on it's own in my opinion is not enough.
The products i am buying in prep for doing a cycle are around 10 times the price of the juice itself.
Spending a little more on the liver is a great investment i say.
Hope this helps.

An amino acid that enhances brain function, improves mood and balances neurotransmitters. It has powerful liver detoxifying and natural anti-inflammatory effects. There are two forms of SAMe: the less effective and less absorbable tosylate form, and the superior butanedisulfonate form.
www.solal.co.za/health/inflammatory-immu...in/krill-oil-omega-3
Krill are tiny shrimp-like species found in the icy waters of the Antarctic. They are at the bottom of the food chain, and therefore do not accumulate heavy metals like fish do, making them naturally low in heavy metals and other toxins. Krill oil contains the best EPA and DHA forms of omega-3s, bound to phospholipids, not to triglyceride fats found in standard omega-3s from fish oil. This improves bioavailability and effectiveness, meaning lower doses can be used. These omega-3s are important for heart, brain and immune system health. They also help boost mood and prevent inflammatory disorders. Krill oil is also an excellent source of phosphatidylcholine, important for skin health, brain function and liver detoxification. It naturally contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant.
www.solal.co.za/tmg
A nutrient which plays an important role in the health of the cardiovascular system. TMG works closely with other nutrients such as SAMe, natural folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 to reduce homocysteine levels in the bloodstream. However, research is unclear whether homocysteine is a cause of cardiovascular disease, or if it is a marker (effect) of existing cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that TMG may help protect against fatty deposits in the liver, which can occur from chronic alcohol use, protein malnutrition, obesity, poorly controlled diabetes, and other causes. TMG is a mood modifier and can therefore have a positive effect on mood by relaxing the mind. Vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and natural folate help effectively break down homocysteine.
www.solal.co.za/products/nutraceuticals/milk-thistle-extract
Milk thistle is a herb traditionally used as a liver protectant and to support liver function. Milk thistle is also used to relieve digestive disturbances and heartburn.
www.solal.co.za/curcumin-novasol
Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory antioxidant with multiple health benefits.

Cholestasis is one liver injury associated with the use of oral androgens. This condition causes a failure of normal bile flow from the liver and the production of bile within the liver.
Bile is an essential ‘de-greaser’ of dietary fats. An insufficient amount of bile salts can prevent proper dietary fat utilization, cause acid indigestion as well as a backup of toxicity. Bile insufficiency can also cause poor hormone production due to the fact that many hormones are made from lipids.
Soon after taking oral androgens it becomes apparent that excessive doses or prolonged use can be damaging to liver function, (14) and since there have been several case studies of jaundice and liver failure secondary to oral androgen use, both self-administered (15) and in a clinical setting. (16,17) The liver toxic effects of oral androgens are of a primarily cholestatic nature(liver damaging). This leads to impaired bile flow at low concentrations. These retained bile salts cause programmed cell death and at higher concentrations, necrosis and severe liver damage.
This is where Cycle Guard comes into the picture.
It was designed with users of oral androgens in mind, and brings together the best anti-cholestatic ingredients available. Each ingredient in Cycle Guard has been specifically chosen to help combat the effects of oral androgens on the liver.
Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA)
Can prevent programmed cell death and strongly stabilizes mitochondrial membranes (1)
When used consistently, TUDCA eventually becomes the predominant bile acid in the liver and in general circulation. (2)
Directly stimulates bile export and secretion which helps digestion, cleansing of toxins and hormone production (3,4,5)
Polyenylphphosphatidylcholine (PPC)
Stabilizes cellular membranes and dilates bile canaliculi (fine tubular channels forming a three-dimensional network within the parenchyma of the liver. They join to form the bile ductiles and eventually the hepatic duct.) This has been shown to protect human cells from accumulation of toxic bile salts within the hepatocyte (A hepatocyte is a cell of the main tissue of the liver. Heptocytes make up 70-85% of the liver’s cytoplasmic mass) An accumulation of toxic bile salts can cause serious liver damage (6,7)
Oral androgen administration may decrease liver values all of which may be restored, and even raised, by the use of PPC (polyenylphosphatidylcholine) (
PPC is secreted into bile by hepatocytes, where it serves as a major component of the micelles in which bile acids are emulsified. Increased levels of phosphatidylcholine reduces the toxicity of bile acids (9)
N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
Is both a metabolite of and a precursor to glutathione, a naturally-occurring peptide that is important in the detoxification of lipophilic toxins in the liver. (10)
Functions as an anti-oxidant to minimise oxidative stress to cells caused by reactive oxygen species (11)
Has anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce levels of inflammatory cytokines. (12)
May minimise muscle fatigue during exercise (13)
S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine Disulfate Tosylate (SAMEe)
Is a precursor to glutathione, which may be able to prevent androgen induced cholestasis and liver injury.
Can inhibit bile acid induced hepatocyte programmed cell death, (18,19,20) reduces the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha, (21,22) and can reduce oxidative stress via glutathione replenishment, (23) which may also play a role in treating the effects of cholestasis (liver damage). (24)
Has been studied extensively as a safe and effective treatment for pregnancy induced cholestasis (liver damage) (25,26,27) and in a case study, was even shown to reverse severe androgen induced cholestasis. (28) Due to its distinct mechanism of action it has an additive effect when used alongside TUDCA. (18,26)
As a direct precursor to glutathione the benefits associated with SAMe use are not limited to liver protection. It is also in wide use as a general antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Just heard i need to travel abroad for work. Leaving on 18th Sept and back 3weeks after. Its in the middle east, and there are certain vaccines that needs to be taken (hepatitis a and typhoid, and possibly yellow fever, just waiting for confirmation)
Should any of these injections not be taken because of the gear? I will be done with my test e a few days before departure. I will therefore not do my bridge with test prop unfortunately , and just wait for pct to start once im back in the country.
Thx gents and have a super weekend!

When I was on my way to live in South America I had to have just about every dam injection there is. You then get a little yellow card that says you have successfully paid and had your ass kicked and are safe to travel to certain destinations ( high risk normally) around the world.
So if the middle east job destination requires you to have the little yellow card you have no option because they will not let you into their country without it.
Hope that helps.
hehehehe some of the injections are delightfully painful.
Go look at the contra indications on the vaccines websites and cross reference it with the gear precautions you on.

The question is, will this not conflict/clash with the current stuff in my body?

However, I doubt the test will interact with the other stuff - what would people on TRT do then?
The orals however, might be a different story but I still think you will be perfectly safe. I doubt they will interact with each other.

Im off the orals for a long time now and will then not use the prop for bridge. And my pct will start a week or so after my return. So it works out perfectly. Just wanted to check if the high test levels could screw something up with the vaccines. I will wait for the other mods to comment
Thx guys and have a super weekend

You off the orals.
Support your kidneys and liver. You will have a lot of strange crap going through them.
Just bang it.
Hopefully you do not have to get yellow fever. Yuk jab that one.

Took my last test e and primo shot on thursday, and will wait now for pct. As i mentioned in my earlier post, im leaving for the far east next week sunday. The pct wont be an issue, as i will be back before it starts. My concern is the HCG.. I will be gone for 2-3weeks, and obviously cant take my HCG on a plane. Is there any alternatives in your experience that you guys can share? I have been on 500iu per week during cycle, and my plannwas to continue up and till my pct starts
Thx guys and have a great week!

Thx oupa!
When im back, can i then continue with 500iu till pct starts, or do I increase the dose as I missed a few weeks then?

I'd go with the 500 and take it from there, it should do the trick.. I have a very heavy trigger finger with hCG as I started with the very oldschool approach of 5000iu, Mon/Wed/Fri, recovery done

Back from my 2 week far east trip. Didnt take hcg for 2 weeks and my pct starts tomorrow. Was planning to take hcg till pct starts. Clomid, nolva and aromasin. Should I continue with 500iu per week for a few weeks with the pct?
