[QUOTE="ta406, post: 132946, member: 1022"] Have any of you gents found any benefits of curcumin on lowering hematocrit or at least stabilizing it? I know hematocrit has been discussed at neaseum on all TRT forums but the problem I have is that in order to get my free test into a range that makes me feel good, my hematocrit increases incredibly fast. I am going to reduce my dose because at this rate I will have to donate every month at a minimum. My SHBG is 47 which isn't bad but my TT has to be between 1500-2000 before I really notice any benefit of TRT. This puts my FT between 30 40. I even switched over to a compounded cream since I have read that it has less of an effect on hematocrit. No such luck. Daily injections didn't seem to help much either. I don't mind donating blood on occasion so if I could just reduce the number donations I needed to make, I would consider that a win. And I know frequent donation can lead to health issues too. I don't donate based on a lab number, I literarily feel it when I need to donate. I have tried 1 gram of narginin a day with no effect. I am going to add nattokinase since I have found some research that it may help with this issue. I have also read that curcumin may help. I have read that some people are using 4-6 grams a day for joint issues (which I have) and have seen their hematocrit decline too. Just wondering if I am one the right track? Are there any pharmaceuticals that have helped? There is an old thread about this that I was hoping to build off of since I know I am not the only one dealing with this. Also wondering if diet has anything to do with it. I eat mainly red meat. I know that it can increase iron but I'm not sure if that has any correlation with hematocrit.
