[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 101954, member: 13512"] Agree about the lower dosage should be part of a long term protocol (not with the goal of reducing HCT and then resuming higher dosage. That wouldn’t work. HCT would increase again after resuming higher dosage). However a low enough dosage will bring down HCT without the need to donate. I would go as far as saying that everyone should be able to control HCT by lowering dosage alone (assuming cause of high HCT is solely due to TRT) however for some people the dosage to achieve that would be too low and not enough to bring relief for low T symptoms. So lowering dosage to control HCT is not pratical for everyone. However we see that a lot of people on TRT are chasing high TT and FT numbers and those numbers are measure at trough. So a lot of people on TRT are on supra physiological dosages that makes HCT control only possible with frequent donations. Also frequent donation combined with “high” TRT dosage (dosage that greatly supress hepcidin) can make HCT stabilization impossible. Frequent donation lowers ferritin and that combined with low hepcidin will cause the body to “push” more iron into the blood then increasing RBC production and HCT. [/QUOTE]
