Hey Muscle Daddies & Mummies,
I'm not too bad at reading bloods and have a basic understanding, but I know some of you have been in the game longer. I thought I’d ask for some veteran suggestions and advice.
I’m planning to go back on Anavar soon, but my liver values are slightly off.
I’ve already picked up TUDCA, NAC, and milk thistle, and I’m doubling down on vitamins and minerals as well. Based on my blood work, is there anything else you'd suggest?
For context, the blood work below is from my current TRT dose (which I’ll be lowering soon, based on advice from some of you legends). But my post-cycle was 8 weeks before this, and it looked like this:
Right now, I’m in a bit of a maintenance phase due to some work injuries I’ve picked up, but I’m hoping to start another cycle in the next few weeks give or take depending on how things go. Planning on going for a heavy bulk, as long as I don’t get into too much shit at work.

Would post the PDF, but I can’t be bothered constantly blurring out my details. If you’ve ever been through Clinical Labs and done a full extensive blood test, you know how often they plaster your info everywhere. Like, why are my personal details in 16 different spots on one page?
Anyway, shoutout to everyone who commented on my original post I really appreciate it
Cheers,
Akujio
