LIV-52

Liv-52 is an herbal medicine used widely in Europe and Asia to support metabolic and liver health. While in some countries this product is regarded as a drug, it contains all natural ingredients including capparis spinosa, terminalia arjuna, cichorium intybus, achillea millefolium, solanum nigrum, tamarix gallica, and cassia occidentalis. It is specifically used in the prevention or treatment of hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, early liver cirrhosis, protein energy malnutrition, loss of appetite, radiation and chemotherapy induced liver damage, as an adjunct to hepatotoxic drugs, and to support metabolism during convalescence or prolonged illness. As the first three letters of its name would suggest, overall liver health is the primary focus of this product. Bodybuilders and athletes use Liv-52 as a way to reduce the level of strain placed on the liver by hepatotoxic anabolic/androgenic steroids. Numerous medical studies have been conducted on Liv-52 in recent years, many of which involve its ability to protect the liver from damage by alcohol or other toxins.751 752 753 754

LIV-52

描述:

liv - 52 是一种草药，广泛应用于欧洲和亚洲，以支持新陈代谢和肝脏健康。在一些国 家，这种产品被认为是一种药物，它含有所有的天然成分，包括刺山柑，阿江榄仁(三 果木)，野菊苣，西洋蓍草，龙葵，柳菌和望江南。它特别用于预防或治疗肝炎、酒精 性肝病、早期肝硬化、蛋白质能量营养不良，食欲减退、放疗和化疗引起肝损伤，作 为肝毒性药物的辅助，在康复期或长期疾病期间支持新陈代谢。正如其名的前三个字 母所示，整体的肝脏健康是这个产品的主要焦点。健美运动员和运动员使用 LIV-52 作 为一种方法来减少合成代谢/雄激素类固醇对肝脏的毒性压力。近年来，许多医学研究 都是在 LIV-52 上进行的，其中很多都涉及到，保护肝脏不受酒精或其它毒素伤害的能 力。

One investigation in particular looked at how the herbal medication affected the breakdown of alcohol in the body, showing that it notably increased its excretion, even to the point of being able to reduce next day hangover symptoms after binge drinking.755 Another study investigated what underlying mechanism might be involved in Liv-52’s ability to protect the liver against alcohol toxicity. It demonstrated that one mechanism involved a specific ability to slow the rate of glutathione depletion.756 This may be very important to the steroid-using athlete, as glutathione depletion is looked at as a direct marker of liver stress with c-17 alpha alkylated orals. Note that while these studies lend support for the use of a natural remedy like Liv-52 during hepatotoxic steroid administration, they do not provide complete assurance that this remedy can prevent liver damage.

一项调查特别研究了草药如何影响身体中酒精的分解，显示其显著增加了酒精排出，

甚至可以减少在暴饮暴食后次日的宿醉症状.755 另一项研究调查了哪些基础机制，可

能涉及 Liv-52 的保护肝脏免受酒精毒性的能力。它证明了这种机制涉及到减缓谷胱甘

肽消耗速率的特异性能力.756 对于使用类固醇的运动员来说，这可能非常重要，因为

谷胱甘肽的消耗，被视为具有 c-17α 烷基化口服类固醇的肝脏压力的直接标记。注意，

虽然这些研究支持，在具有肝毒性类固醇的给药期间，使用像 Liv-52 这样的天然补剂，

但是它们并不能完全保证这种治疗方法可以预防肝脏损伤。

History:

Liv-52 is an herbal product that has its roots in ayurvedic medicine, an age old form of Hindu science and medicine that centers on the use of natural remedies. Liv-52 is manufactured by the Himalaya Drug Co. in Bombay, India, and was first introduced to the global market in 1955. Over the years it came to be a widely distributed and popular natural product. In 2002, the Swiss government actually classified Liv-52 as a pharmaceutical product, which is believed to be the first time an herbal remedy was adopted as a prescription drug in Western Europe.757

Liv-52 had already been popular with steroid using bodybuilders and athletes for many years by this point, and further clinical support only cemented this position. Liv-52 presently remains the most commonly used form of natural liver support among the steroid-using community today.

基于这一点，到目前为止，多年来 Liv-52 已经受到使用类固醇的健美运动员和运动员 的欢迎，而且进一步的临床支持只是更巩固了这一点。Liv-52 目前仍然是当今类固醇 使用团体中，最常用的天然肝脏支持形式补剂。
