No cognitive symptoms that I am aware of. I have been donating blood for almost 3 years now, and didn't have any iron issues until 2016. I eat plenty of meat every day. 9 weeks after donating, and being on an iron supplement for 1 week - I would think my iron stores would be higher. The only...

Plot twist: I just had my blood tested again. This is after donating blood 9 weeks ago, and taking the iron supplement for 1 week: Hemoglobin 17.9 HIGH (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 49.5 (37.5-51.0) Iron, Serum 45 (38-169) Iron Saturation 14 LOW (15-55) Ferritin, Serum 19 LOW (30-400) High...

I think I will buy the ingredients separately. Jarrow looks like a good brand for this. Any other good supplements for hearth health, besides fish oil? Here is that video if anyone wanted to see it: http://princetonhealthusa.com/video_t.php

I got suckered into watching an infomercial video online on a product called Vitapulse. The video was well done and the product contains NAC, CoQ10 and PQQ. Doing a little more research online, it seems to be a good stack for heart health - just a little expensive. Anyone have experience with...

BuzzSaw, check out THIS product. It has a ton of great reviews and Vitamin C built-in. This is what I use.

Nelson, I did based on the information I found here. I was taking Quinaprill and switched to Losartan. I have been on it now for about 2 months with no noticeable sides. If you look at my other thread, it seems to have helped reduce my Hematocrit without donation. (I also lowered my test from...

Everyone I guess :) I'm trying to figure out the best way to balance low iron / ferritin levels with frequent donation in my thread HERE. I started taking nattokinase (4000 fu), and switched my HBP Meds from Quinaprill to Losartan, based on the hematocrit reducing abilities. My plan going...

I probably do. I have a deviated septum and was set to get nasal reconstructive surgery from my ENT Specialist. I had to put it off for reasons out of my control, but I will eventually get the surgery.

Here we are not allowed to donate until 8 weeks. But donating every 8 weeks tanked my iron and ferritin over time, and I became iron-deficient anemic. That felt worse than before going on TRT.

I definitely noticed a difference, but not feeling bad. I'm not sure yet what my TT is on this dose, I can just guesstimate.

Update: Just got my lab results back, 8 weeks after my last results. Looks like I won't need to do the double-red cell donation: Hemoglobin 17.8 HIGH (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 51.1 HIGH (37.5-51.0) Iron, Serum 94 (38-169) Iron Saturation 31 (15-55) Ferritin, Serum 37 (30-400) Looks like the...

I decided to switch my HBP Meds from Quinaprill to Losartan, based on the hematocrit reducing abilities. I've been on it for 3 days now with no noticible sides. I also decided to hold off on the naringin pills, due to possible interactions with meds.

I've had several labs done, that included both the standard Estradiol and sensitive assays. Thought I would share for those interested in the results: (11/19/13) Estradiol = 46.2 (7.6-42.6) Estradiol Sensitive = 39 (3-70) (12/31/13) Estradiol = 39.5 (7.6-42.6) Estradiol Sensitive = 23 (3-70)...

I have labs from previous protocols. I wanted to lower it without going too low.

Well, here is my plan for now. Let me know what you guys think: I donated whole blood on 10/19 after these labs: Hemoglobin 19.1 HIGH (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 55.8 HIGH (37.5-51.0) Iron, Serum 87 (38-169) Iron Saturation 30 (15-55) Ferritin, Serum 63 (30-400) After getting BW done before and...

Just found this thread. I posted my similar situation in the Testosterone Basics & Questions forum (can't post direct links yet). What is the best way to keep iron/ferritin levels up without spiking hematocrit too high? Only take iron for 2 weeks after every donation?My Experiment to...

One thing that I have read that can do this is grapefruit juice, and specifically the ingredient naringin.

I've been on TRT for about 3.5 years. I've been on the same protocol for about 3 years: Test Cyp: 80mg every 3.5 days SubQ, HCG: 250iu 3x week SubQ, Anastrozole: .25mg 1x per week, day after T injection. This gets my TT to about 650-750, when I do BW about 12 hours before T injection. I...
