Who makes the synthergine and why do you like it so much? Other than milk thistle what else is in it?

My liver values have never been better since I started taking this product.

I thought Accutane had nothing to do with infertility but can cause birth defects if a mother conceives while on it.

It has been shown it can cause birth defects if you get pregnant within two or three years after being off it as well.....

Thanks for the link. Why is this product better than plain milk thistle?

Made in a pharmacy specifically for our bodies. Other than that, I don't know. All I know is that my blood work continues to come back spot on no matter what I run/use/drink.

Who sells it? Do you buy it online?

something to keep in mind... since there are many women who use winstrol, using this drug in combination, even over a moderate amount of time can contribute or lead to tendon rupture. since accutane essentially pulls fluid from everywhere, joints are at the same risk. winstrol is notorious for the same issues. joint stiffness and soreness from fluid loss.

Thanks! Yes, I plan to stay on my joint supplement as well as take milk thistle or something for my liver.

They are now running ads to sue the company that makes Accutane. My son was on 2 rounds of it when he was 16 he had to go in every month for blood work. The first cycle didn't work but the second one did. He was so sore from it he had to stop playing sports while he was taking it.

I missed my entire junior year of football/wrestling because of it. Very bad memories of this stuff. I suppose its less likely to happen if you're older though

My guess is that it would be more likely as you get older. My son played, baseball, soccer, and rugby he had stopped playing football. He seemed to be tired all the time as well.

WOW! So joint pain is something I will have to deal with......... I will be getting blood work every month and a prego test. Any suggestions on dealing with the joint pain. Any supplements you took that worked?
