What supplements can I take to protect and strengthen my liver?
I recommend the following:

Starting on Clenbuterol to assist in weight loss, but am paranoid of adding stress to my liver - already on 50 mg of Androcur per day. Good idea, or not?
Clen definitely can assist in weight loss if it's used correctly. There are significant risks: you must drink at least 120-160oz of water every day because... you must be ok with sweating A LOT on days that you take it because it lasts a long time and it's not well suited for gym in the morning and then going to the office. You can only cycle it for 2 weeks at a time, and for a total of 12 weeks per calendar year. It will most likely make you very vascular (an enviable aesthetic for some or dysphoric for others) and it's pretty hard on the cardio system. If your AST and ALT blood levels are in the median reference range or lower then you should be ok to take Clen as long as you take cycle support + 2-5g of taurine every day.

What is your stance on caffeine as far as disrupting / interfering with estrogen uptake and feminization?
A study in the October 2001 issue of "Fertility and Sterility" found that more than one cup of coffee a day increased estrogen in women between the ages of 36 and 45 in the first stage of the menstrual cycle. In a study reported in the June 2005 issue of "Cancer," caffeine intake decreased estradiol, one of the forms of estrogen, during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Both caffeinated coffee and caffeinated tea had this effect. The researchers thought caffeine might inhibit aromatase, a key enzyme in the production of estrogen in the body.

Here's the thing about those research studies... they're all done on cis-women who are not injecting estrogen or taking estrogen pills at the extent that trans-women do. If there are issues with caffeine (first off you have to be drinking a lot of caffeine for this to be an issue in the first place, and that's not generally healthy anyway + there are better/healthier stimulants than caffeine) then we, as trans-women, can simply take more estrogen and correct the imbalance. Until more research has been done, and focused on cis-women who have had a single/double hysterectomy (this is the closest demographic we can get to in the medical community if they aren't studying trans-women specifically) then the issues with caffeine can be disregarded since we do not fit into the study or control groups (no menstrual cycle).
