beef isolate and hematocrit

[slowpain]

Does anyone know if beef isolate can raise hematocrit like eating alot of red meat does? Mine is constantly borderline and my doctor says if it goes over 50 she will take me off TRT. Ever sense i switched to fish and poultry diet my hematocrit stays in range without donating blood all the time. Does beef isolate still have iron in it?

Have you tried donating blood frequently to lower your hematocrit levels?

I had the probs with my hematocrit and hemoglobin. My Endo doc put me on 81mgs/ASA/day......no probs since.

the first thing you want to do is check the brand of beef isolate for it's nutrition label. that is on you.

donating blood, drinking plenty of liquids, taking once a day low dose 81mg baby aspirin (i purchase least expensive regular, break them and take small piece) eating/drinking grapefruit and staying away from supplements containing iron should keep you in the 43-47 range that docs are wanting. they don't want you at 49 or 50. it makes the heart work much harder pumping thick blood. it's all about protecting their practice - they don't want a lawsuit because they prescribed you a media hyped scary "controlled steroid." so help them at scheduled blood lab work dates.
