maybe dumb question here but I'm curious for my health...

[soldier74]

Any of you guys know if its safe to drink grapefruit juice while on the "juice"? My suboxone Dr recommended I drink it to help the sub work better but also to ask my pharmisist or Dr about safety of taking it with other medications as it may be too toxic on my liver when mixed with them. I do take NAC BTW. Thnx guys!!

Never heard that. I've heard drinking orange and grapefruit juice has an effect on certain pills and powders. Nothing negative but its supposed to enhance the "feeling" that you can get. I think the Kratom guys say to mix juice with the powder and you get a stronger effect. May be Broscience though

Dude, people binge drink and do drugs like coke or MDMA while on gear, so I think you're fine.

It's not bro-science. Grapefruit interferes with the activity of a certain enzymatic pathway in the liver which does effect the metabolism/excretion of a lot of different drugs. Not all drugs mind you, but a lot of them are metabolized this way. It won't hurt your AAS usage.

I've been on Suboxone for 4 years and I have never heard of this. I drink all kinds of juice and grapefruit juice a lot and NO problem-O

If if effect the drug you are taking it amplifies it. It was comon practice to use grapefruit pectin with orals inthe golden age.

some of the natural stuff out there is very powerful..

for example.. pineapples are amazing for reducing inflamation and brusing..

Only drug I've heard GFJ can negatively affect is amphetamines such as adderall. It's just suboxone and a juice, I wouldn't be worried about this.

What a stupid comment!

Yes of course people do that - but that doesn't make it right, and it certainly isn't optimal!

Its better to do it responsibly. The sides later in life will be hell.

I guess I missed this the first time around. I had bad issues when drinking a shit ton of grapefruit juice while on statins a few years back. It was explained to me that it does something that prevents your body from clearing out the statins, causing a build up that makes you wish you were dead.

I'd be surprised if AAS would be affected the same way but I guess it's possible.

It's working for this bro. It is a good question though. I have heard that grapefruit juice should not be used with some medications. Call your pharmacist, I'm sure he could help you. You don't have to tell him you are using illegal steroids. Tell him you are on trt. If he doesn't help, call another on.

Good for you brother. I have met dozens of guys on the boards who battle substance abuse. I do as well.

 

[Mad- scientist]

After reading a bit about reactions between medications and grapefruit juice I came across some things that said grapefruit juice could effect how quickly the body breaks down estrogen leading to higher levels. I don't know how true that is but I would keep it in mind if you start having any symptoms of high estrogen. Also I would look into each drug you have in your cycle and how it reacts with grapefruit juice including your pct drugs. That is just what I would do but I am more on the paranoid side.

 

[soldier74]

Nice. Now in breaking drugs down did you see if that includes the rate at which it breaks test down too? Does test break down, maybe should be the question.. Thnx

 

[D.graham0991]

If grape juice is what puts you over that edgd then you shouldnt be taking juice at all lol. Pumping urself with hormones and yet your worry is grape juice. Relax brother all is good.

 

[soldier74]

Fair point.

I know we are not supposed to ask for sources but is your grapefruit source from the box or do you squeeze it yourself?
