[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 184055, member: 15043"] As far as my understanding goes, for most guys donating 3-4x/ year is way too much, and would tank most men’s iron stores, especially if they’re not on HRT. I’ve tanked mine before from just getting labs done too much, and iron stores are a tricky thing. Extremely easy and quick to deplete, and take forever to build back up. Donating blood is definitely a great way for men to avoid an early grave. There’s 2 main reasons that women live longer than men, that I can think of.
