Liv 52 is the world’s No.1 liver protection formula. With a history of over 50 years, this herbal preparation now sells in over 40 countries. That even allopathic practitioners recommend Liv 52 for treating various liver disorders, is a testimony to its efficacy.
The role of a nutritious dietary regimen for athletes, especially body builders and weight lifters, cannot be over-emphasized. Many athletes use performance enhancing drugs to keep themselves ahead in a fiercely competitive environment. The legality of their use aside, the fact remains that this is a widely prevalent practice.
Steroids used for performance enhancement can be injectables like Testosterone and Trembolone or orals like Anadrol and Dianabol. While injectable steroids pass through the liver once, orals do so twice thus increasing the stress on the liver. The effects of orals on different body organs are also more severe than of injectables.
Whatever be the type of steroid used, athletes should take care to preserve their valuable body organs from their adverse effects. The harshest steroids that can be used are the oral ones like Anadrol, Dianabol, Halotestin, Methyl Test, Cheque Drops as well as injectables like Winstrol and Trembolone. These are some of the most toxic to the liver when compared to other steroids like Anavar or Sustanon.
The users have to find a remedy to get those enzyme levels down and to cleanse the liver of all the toxins that have built up due to extended steroid use. Among the various products available to protect the liver, Liv 52 is undoubtedly the most popular. Introduced in 1955 and now sold all over the world, this herbal preparation offers comprehensive liver care. Apart from being an effective protection against cirrhosis, hepatitis, fatty liver and elevated liver enzymes, it is also the best cure for these conditions in affected cases.

Jaundice- Ayurveda divisions

Ayurveda describes kaamala or Jaundice as one of the major diseases of yakrit (liver). The obstructive and infective jaundice are described in ayurvedic classical texts.
Pathogenesis
When a person indulges on diet which increases pitta( one among the three somatic humors), like excessive alcohol intake, heavy, oily, and spicy food, pitta becomes aggravated and results in disease of blood, muscle tissue, biliary system and liver. These then manifest as kaamala or jaundice. It is also mentioned in the texts that if a person is anaemic he is more prone to kaamala.
Symptoms
Yellowish discolouration of the eyes, nails, skin, and oral cavity, yellowish/reddish discolouration of faeces and urine, generalized weakness, burning sensation,loss of appetite and taste, vague body pains and weakness in all sensory organs and emaciation.
There are different types of Kaamala described in Ayurveda
Shakasritha: There is only mild aggravation of pitta and vata in this type of Kaamala ( acute jaundice) and this can be cured relatively easily.
Kumbha Kaamala: If not treated Kaamala ( acute jaundice) in due course turns into Kumbha Kaamala and becomes difficult to treat.
Panaki: This is considered to be late/advanced stage of Kaamala.
Haleemaka: This is an advanced stage of pandu roga (anemia). This occurs when both vata and pitta are vitiated. The disease is manifested with greenish-yellow discolouration, weakness, lethargy, loss of appetite, fever, body ache, burning sensation, loss of taste and dizziness.
Tastelessness, thirst, vomiting, fever, headache, loss of appetite, lethargy, pain in chest are also often referred to as associated ailments of Kaamala.
