Deca Durabolin, a brand name for the anabolic steroid nandrolone decanoate, is a prescription-only medication, and its legality varies by country; in the US, it's a Schedule III controlled substance, while in some countries, like India, it's available by prescription for treating conditions like osteoporosis, anemia, and some types of breast cancer; however, using Deca Durabolin without a medical prescription or for non-approved purposes, such as bodybuilding or performance enhancement, is illegal and can pose serious health risks, including cardiovascular problems, liver damage, and hormonal imbalances

I'm a bodybuilder and I've been taking 1 Liv 52 DS daily to detox my liver from orals. I'm just wondering if it's okay to take Liv 52 DS every day for a whole year. If it's not recommended, how long should I take a break before starting again?
