I had my creatinine close to normal (1.29-1.4) on trt with no astragalus (no protein in urine ever and normal cystatin c), however, with just 3-4 grams of astragalus a day my creatinine has gone to 1.25 to now 1.18. Cystatin C is at .68 (.62-1.18 ref range). Makes my egfr like 140+ lol.
I do have a question for you and it's just my own curiosity and nothing else...Do most of the guys you help with this make other changes? Meaning, diet, drugs, etc.? Or do they just add the astragalus and and cross their fingers? I only ask because when my creatinine ran a bit high I did things like adding (literally) 15-20 servings of fruit and veggies a day, adding a "green drink", cut protein to 1 gram per pound of bodyweight, added 30-40 minutes of cardio a day, dropped 20 pounds, etc. before astragalus that had me ad egfr of 110-120.
My point is I did all that and my actual GRF was good based on a 24 hour urine but I still made all those changes and now with the astragalus my creatinine is crazy low.
I'm just curious if you could share what kind of cycles these guys are on or how they are living or if they are still "heavy hitting" it all but just adding astragalus. I'm a TRT guy so I'm not looking for permisssion to take astragalus and cross my fingers
