I have no isuses absorbing Iron when I use a product called Blood Builder. This is how I normally raise my iron levels after a donation.

TLDR: Tried this solution and it didn't work at all. Background: I have struggled with Iron / Ferritin levels since I donated too much blood back in 2015 & 2016. I saw this thread and was excited to try it. My most recent Iron labs were from 6/9/23: FERRITIN 20 LOW 38-380 ng/mL IRON, TOTAL...

Just a Poll to see how many members on TRT supplement with DHEA and/or Pregnenolone or not.

Those that have tried MK677 - what are some quality brands that have a good reputation? I tried Supreme Labs in the past, and want to try a different brand (capsules in the US).

Those that have tried MK677 - what are some quality brands that have a good reputation? I tried Supreme Labs in the past, and want to try a different brand (capsules in the US). Peptide Sciences ? Paradigm Peptides ? 99Purity ? Spectre Labs ? Others ? Thanks!

Recently, I started working out and lifting more. I read about MK677 Ibutamoren, and wanted to try it to increase my HGH and IGF-1, so I ordered some from Supreme Labs USA. I hadn't tested my IGF-1 levels in a few years, and I wanted to know my baseline before taking it. Got tested on 4/18/22...

Do they have anything to do with libido? I have an ongoing battle with iron / ferritin / hematocrit

I stopped taking the AI to see if it makes any difference. So far, I don't feel any stronger libido, but I do feel slight nipple sensitivity. Here are my latest labs. I got more things tested than I normally do.

And have my E2 go up? My balls shrink and have a constant dull ache? Less semen volume? No thanks.

I plan on getting that tested on my next BW.

I've noticed the last few years, my libido / sexual drive isn't what it used to be. I don't have any real ED issues yet, but I am missing that "alpha" drive and feeling horny. Anything I can take to help in this department? Some posts I've read suggest that cabergoline .25mg 2x per week may...

Hey guys, Which websites are still shipping HCG to the US? I have used reliablerxpharmacy, safemeds4all and premiumrxdrugs in the past. Thanks!

@JetSpyder - Did you end up finding a good Doctor in the area?

The ongoing battle continues... My Labs on 6/25/18 showed my Hemoglobin at 19.0 and my Hematocrit at 55.1, so it was time to donate blood soon. I donated soon after and then checked my CBC and Iron levels a few days after that: 7/10/18 Hemoglobin 17.4 (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 51.5 (37.5-51.0)...

You may want to check out other forms of Iron. Conventional iron supplementation‚ including forms such as ferrous sulfate‚ can cause gastrointestinal side effects – including nausea‚ vomiting‚ constipation‚ diarrhea‚ and dark-colored stools. Check...

I ordered about 10 boxes on Corion from SafeMeds4All but they shipped me Sifasi instead. Anyone have experience with Sifasi HCG?

Nelson, it would be helpful if you can bundle those 3 tests into 1 profile called "iron deficiency anemia", and possibly have a better price than buying the 3 separately.

Hello, I ran into the same issue. My ferritin was lower than yours. You can read about it here: What I do now, is supplement with a product called Blood Builder. You can read all the reviews on Amazon. This stuff works for people when no other iron supplements will. I take it every day for 2-3...

Currently taking Losartan for high blood pressure. When doing cardio, I like to do HIIT, high intensity interval training. This really gets the heart rate up. Should I be doing this kind of exercise before I take the HBP Meds, or after? What is better for energy and endurance from the HIIT...

I got mine through Private MD Labs. Their "Iron Deficiency Anemia Profile" test.

The Losartan might be helping to control h/h, but I think the reduced testosterone probably had the most to do with the reduction in hematocrit. You should get an iron deficiency anemia blood test. Know where you really are at, rather than relying on symptoms. The one I get costs about $55 online.

Not yet. I have to wait 8 weeks before I can donate. I will probably check my levels right before, then decide whether to donate or hold off a bit.

Had another CBC blood test on 4/13/17 and it was time to donate: Hemoglobin 17.8 (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 53.3 (37.5-51.0) Donated blood on 5/4/17 and got my iron and ferritin tested again 4 days later: Hemoglobin 17.4 (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 51.6 (37.5-51.0) Iron, Serum 64 (38-169) Iron...

Well for searching you need the correct spelling too. I think you mean erythrocytosis and polycythemia ;) Found online: Polycythemia is sometimes called erythrocytosis, but the terms are not synonymous because polycythemia refers to any increase in red blood cells, whereas erythrocytosis...

Can't find anything on Google for etherotosis. Maybe spelled differently?

I have found it lowers my HCT by about 3 points.

Numbers stayed about the same as 2 weeks ago.

Definitely have more stamina on the Elliptical and during sex. Other than that, no major difference.

Very pleased with these results. Took Blood Builder twice a day for the next 2 weeks: Hemoglobin 17.1 (12.6-17.7) Hematocrit 49.9 (37.5-51.0) Iron, Serum 104 (38-169) Iron Saturation 37 (15-55) Ferritin, Serum 37 (30-400)

Funny, I only started taking omeprazole because I started to get GERD from taking low dose daily cialis for the non-ED benefits. I tired coming off of it a couple of times, and the GERD is unbearable. If you know of something else I can take that is as effective as omeprazole, I am all ears.

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...
