question about diuretics

Ok first, how long should i take it

second would it be harmful to use it continually for say a month and last...

does it just clear water out of your kidneys and skin or what does it actually do

sorry about newbie question but ive never researched it...

3-4 days would be the longest and you have to drink tons of water.

i tried taraxatone once and did fine with it (it worked) but it didn't do anymore for me than just upping my water intake a LOT and you have to do that anyway when you take a diuretic. i wouldn't use one again - but some people do like to use them a few days before stuff like contests and photo shoots.

just be careful and drink plenty of water.

i'm sure you'd be ok using it for a few days if you drink plenty but it's definitely not something to use long term day after day

Prolonged use will quickly deplete your body of sodium, which is necessary to stay properly hydrated. Nothing ruins a workout faster than dehydration. Well, if a plane landed on top of you....
