How To Lower Hematocrit Levels Without Giving Blood?

[Stryker24]

Possibly a stupid question but an honest one if anyone has any feedback. Appreciated.

Inject daily (use a true hrt dose), cardio, hydration, grapefruit, limit iron, take nattokinase, baby asprin. Donating blood will drop your level temporarily but your body will adjust and usually shoot levels back up. I donate 2 times a year and that’s it. The more you donate the worse it is for you.



What is your current hematocrit level?

Staying well hydrated can help, other than that lowering the dose on AAS is the best advise we can provide with the aforementioned information...

 

[Stryker24]

I forget tbe exact level. I'll find out again before long.

If you have apnea a Cpap can help too.

Have heard of guys have success using 8-12,000iu daily if Nattokinase to help keep hematocrit in range.

your levels go back up due to TRT and or Performance enhancements doses, donating isn't going to make it worse for you but keep your levels in check....

this however is all person to person dependent, I have friends of mine on cycle and or trt that don't have to donate period, and then there is others that HAVE to or there levels will get SKY HIGH......

there are supplements made just for this, not sure if we allowed to post.

Nattokinase has plenty of benefits. Reducing hematocrit isn’t one of them.

If someone says it lowered theirs, then they are wrong for thinking that is the reason why.

Why wouldn't it be allowed?

I used Natto 4000 FU Serrapeptase 240000 SPU Lumbrokinase 2000 FU
X 2 daily for 8months and it had very little impact on my hematocrit

I learned the hard way you're 100% right

I’m glad somebody said it, I’ve been on natto for close to 10years and it’s never lowered hematocrit for me either. Mine stays between 52-56 on cycle or a cruise no matter what i do, however one thing that i did notice that puts me in the lower end of that range is getting my labs done not fasted and later in the day after a few meals and a lot of water. Everyone’s different, if i want mine to be in normal range then that means completely coming off of everything.

Platelet count is never discussed and should be in correlation when discussing H/H.

Every thing I read says it does. I’m not doubting you. Is it in the journals?

Mine is always right on the border or a point over. Doc won’t STFU about it.

Well then you’re not reading any scientific evidence because there isn’t any that says it lowers red blood cell production in any way. It might reduce potential blood clots or related thrombotic events but it will not reduce hematocrit on a blood test

Yea I have the same issues with doctors freaking out every time when mine is high. Hopefully they will wake up in the next five years

Just saw this on X

I’m dealing with the same issue for the last 8yrs. I manage to stay in the 55+ range. I had my annual bloodwork in August after an 8 month run of food prep and 6 days of cardio. I set a goal to be in the best shape at 50.
Only running 150 cyp 150 mast.
My hemoglobin was 21 and hematocrit was 65. Primary Dr called and wanted to donate immediately and take aspirin daily. I pulled 2 pints in 45 days then he sent me to a Hematologist which pulled every blood test to see what was causing it. He also pulled another pint.
Only thing he found was dehydration was causing it. I drink a gallon a water with electrolytes daily. After pulling 5 pints since August my numbers have come down 17.1 hemoglobin 53 hematocrit last week. I get an Iv bag after the blood dump which helps but I’m chasing my tail again.
Crazy thing is I felt great in August not issue and my levels were that high.
Now I get headaches daily after my trt shot, caffeine, or any salted foods.

I had the same issue 8yrs ago and donated too much and tanked my ferritin.

I’ve tried nakka with it not helping.
