[QUOTE="tareload, post: 142737"] Nelson has daylighted this qualitatively in a previous post, but here's actual experimental data to help ground yourself on a plot of what Hct concentration vs blood viscosity actual looks like. [ATTACH=full]7071[/ATTACH] This graph is taken from paper whose link is attached. This ain't a commercial but those of you working with Dr. Saya are fortunate. Read this paper if you want to understand why increased hematocrit causes your heart to work harder (see Fig. 2 of pdf link for synopsis): [ATTACH=full]7073[/ATTACH] Blood viscosity is non-linear function of Hct. I cringe when I see videos/posts stating that you actually are just fine in the mid to upper 50s. That’s why those truly informed start talking about protective measures when you start using TRT/AAS to counteract these issues. Some that bear discussion include losartan (ARB), taurine, alpha-lipoic acid, etc. Then there's the even simpler discussion of reducing your T dosage vs phlebotomy. Do you really want your heart working 20% harder all the time when it’s avoidable. Integrate that work over a significant time span and you start to see potential for early (earlier than it needs to be) heart failure. Enjoy the reading: [URL='https://academic.oup.com/ajh/article-pdf/12/7/739/262823/12_7_739.pdf']Effect of hematocrit on blood pressure via hyperviscosity[/URL] [/QUOTE]
