Ya I wouldn’t go out of ur way to drop ur HCT lower than 50%. Around 50% is pretty perfect/ ideal, imo.
So u think lowering ur dose of test is going to raise ur ferritin level? I guess that could happen, as testosterone does increase iron demands/ cause the body to use up more iron, as far as I know
Have u tried simply increasing ur red meat intake to get ur ferritin up?
Even though all water, aside from distilled water, has a low amount of minerals/ electrolytes in them, I have personally seen improvements in my blood pressure, and a decrease in my RBC, HGB and HCT levels by drinking around 2 liters of mineral water, similar to things like Perrier and San pellegrino water, that has added Celtic salt and liquid magnesium chloride in it. Every water that I would open, I would add the Celtic salt and magnesium too. Not sure the exact mechanism going on here, but since doing this my BP has been pretty perfect, and my rbc, HGB and HCT levels have all dropped around 4 points, on average, while actually using higher dosages of AAS than when my HCT would usually sit around 54%. I also make sure to drink 1 liter of mineral water with extra Celtic sea salt and magnesium, about an hour to hour and a half prior getting my labs drawn
