Vodka

 

[Dante]

teraxatone

 

[Dante]

[Vieope]

Lasix. Dangerous though. Effective though. Keep electrolytes with you though.

If you're an herb lover you could try Dandelion, it's a natural diuretic.

Does that actually work?

And what kinda dosage whould one be looking at?

 

[musclepump]

If I took Taraxatone do I take it only when I've reduced water drastically (two days out) or can I take it even when I'm still drinking two gallons a day?

 

[Dante]

you can take it & still drink a lot. it will help rid the water from under the skin. you will really start to notice after about 5-6 days.

And the bottle says three... what a lie

Never used it myself but here's some info from the University of Maryland Medical Center:-

Dandelion is a natural diuretic that increases urine production by promoting the excretion of salts and water from the kidney. Dandelion may be used for a wide range of conditions requiring mild diuretic treatment such as poor digestion, liver disorders, and high blood pressure. One advantage of dandelion over other diuretics is that dandelion is a source of potassium, a nutrient often lost through the use of other natural and synthetic diuretics.

Dandelion may be used in a variety of available forms.

• Dried leaf infusion: 4 to 10 g three times a day
• Dried root decoction: 2 to 8 g three times a day
• Herb (stems and leaves): 4 to 10 g three times a day
• Leaf tincture (1:5) in 30% alcohol: 100 to 150 drops three times a day
• Powdered extract (4:1) leaf: 500 mg one to three times a day
• Powdered extract (4:1) root: 500 mg one to three times a day
• Root tincture (1:2) fresh root in 45% alcohol: 100 to 150 drops three times a day

I don't like taraxatone. My sleep gets messed up when I am nearing contest due to hormones being in the dumps. the caffeine in it doesn't help me sleep at all.

I use KB-11 herbal diuretic.

 

[P-funk]

also, I wouldn't be on a diuretic for 10 days either. I take it starting the thurs before the contest and then all the way until the end (3 whole days).

 

[JLB001]

dandelion root and uva ursi.

i drank plenty of water on it and still noticed a change from it

Go to the doc and ask for a Lasix script. Tell him the truth, you need to lose water weight before a comp. Take the lasix 3 hours before comp time, and you'll be done pissing before it's time to go on stage. Make sure to get some K-Lite potassium and drink it right after you take the lasix.

It's interesting you say that, I see people actually up picking Dandelions every morning. What I find strange about this is they pick them up from anywhere in the city...vacant lots, service roads...yuck.
