BESIDES DIET

Has anyone used dandelion root to manage bloat?
If so what dosage? Cause I keep seeing people vaguely say to use it, but no dosage.

It's supposed to be a natural diuretic. Whether it works for you is very individual. I use to have some competitors that swore by it, and others that said it did nothing. Follow the dosing recommendation on the bottle and adjust up as you see necessary.

For serious? How long did you take that dose for?

I kept ramping it up from 2g a day up by .5g over a week to 6g the past 3 days. Today I went to deadlfit and just kept cramping. I was upping ti to see how the edema in my legs went down from the bloat and how i wasn't out of breath walking etc. To much water loss for powerlifting.

Gonna stay around 4 grams. This way I got a sweet power bloat but not dying laying down .

Also a website i read talked about testicular damage from the liquid version of dandilion root extract tea on rats. Prob of in humans but high doses in rats caused lower testosterone

I remember this being recommended years ago but I haven't heard of anyone using it in a long time
