Here is thread of the original ones from 3/21

3/21
When I had this done, I had worked out for several days in a row and probably was not hydrated well enough.
RBC 6.03
Hemo 18.7
Hema 55.3
ALT 76
Testosterone Serum 57
LH 0.1
FSH 0.5
Estradiol 5.1
New Test 4/23
RBC 5.65
Hemo 16.9
Hema 51
ALT 69
Testosterone Serum 25
LH 0.6
FSH 2.5
Estradiol 5.1
BUN/Creatinine Ratio 21 (high), This was 15 in the previous test on 3/21
Ok.... so my Test actually got LOWER????? WTF?? I should be increasing my test levels right? My last shot of test E and primo was at the end of Feb.
Not sure what ALT is or how to lower it. But other than Test and levels, I actually made progress in the other areas.
For the RBC, Hemo, Hema, and FSH - they are all in range now. Though barely. But still... it is a good improvement for only one month right?
This is what i have been doing :
Added in a vitamin program -
**Omega 3 capsules
**Flax seed oil capsules (but dropped this when it ran out because people say it is hard to convert in the body_
**baby aspirin
**milk thistle
**Himalaya US Liv.52 version (can someone tell me the difference with the non US version?)
**Forged Liver Support, N2Guard liver support (only because I these two free),
**Green tea Extract
**No Flush Niacin (dropping it soon though because I understand it doesn't work)
**Saw Palmetto
**Vitamin Shoppe Advanced Cholestrol Formula
This past Monday I made some additions and adjustments :
**replaced the Omega 3 caps and Flax Seed caps with Carlsons Mega D fish oil 6-8g daily
Red Yeast Rice 2400mg daily
CoQ10-400mg daily
NAC 2400mg daily - including 600mg post workout
Other Changes :
** I added in one glass of red wine about 5 nights a week.
** Changed my cardio up a bit. I was previously doing a "burst" type after my training 3-4x a week like Phil suggests in his training program. 10 minutes. I now do a 40 minute walk (4 miles) at the beach every other morning (4x weekly) and after my training do 20 - 30 minutes on the bike or treadmill. Most days, I actually complete the walk + cardio post workout as well. But basically I am getting some substained cardio in each day. It should not really take 40 minutes to do 4 miles, but my puppies have short legs and I have to walk at a pace they can keep up. But still get a nice sweat up.
** Hydrated myself well. I have been making a habit of drinking a full glass of water every time I A) go to the kitchen B) take the puppies outside for their bathroom breaks C) leave the house or return home D) before each meal. This is in addition to my regular fluid intake. Have been using a lot of Crystal Lite Fruit Punch though. I hope this is ok.
** Donated blood two weeks ago.
