I am currently taking 1gram weekly of test. enanthate along with clomid. I am 3 weeks into this cycle and the water retention does not seem to be too bad. However, I want to start taking some Dandelion root to shed extra water. I have searched the site and I can’t seem to find any dosing recomendations. Does anybody know a way of determining dosage??
Paul, I have taken Dandelion for precontest water depletion. I never was told any dosages either so I just had to expieriment. I do not remeber the dosage of the individual pills, but the brand was Solaray. I took about 3 pills spread out for the first couple of days, and then i started taking more until i was taking about 8 per day. i saw absolutly no side effects from increasing the dosage. Dandelion is good because you don’t have to worry about throwing off your potassium levels, it contains a significant amount of postassium from what i have read. Dandelion works real well. I hope this helps you out.
PS - water is your best diuretic ever, so remember to drink lots of it while taking your dandelion.
Ox-thanks for the reply. I have the Solaray brand as well… 520mg per capsule. Do you think that there is any danger in taking the dandelion for an extended period. For example during my complete 10 week cycle?
I take 1040mg 3X/day. Six capsules total. Certainly has kept water retention down during the cycle.
Paul- I don’t think you would have any side effects at all. I used it for about three weeks for one contest-really high doses to-and never had any negative effect. I would definitly not be afraid to take dandelion root for 10 weeks. The only thing i could think of that it might lose its effect as your body becomes familiar with it.Maybe do 4 weeks on One off. or somehting like that.
