I can’t take a baby aspirin because it gives me heartburn worse than anadrol.

I quit taking aspirin years ago as i didn't want to thin my blood to much and many of my supps thin the blood too. I wouldn't mind some of the anti cancer effects of the aspirin but doesn't seem worth it to me.

This seems like decent advice for MOST people. But serious bodybuilders have been known to use PEDS and those PEDS have been known to cause plaque build up in the arteries. Since HEART DISEASE is the #1 killer of American men, it is my opinion that the benefits of preventing a heart attack outweigh the possibilities of bleeding out due to an accident, aneurism, or other bleeding disorder. I choose to combat heart disease as that is significantly more likely to kill me than bleeding out.

Do you believe aspirin prevents plaque build up in the arteries?

Do you believe aspirin prevents plaque build up in the arteries?

No but I do believe it prevents heart attacks via the following mechanism: Aspirin slows the blood's clotting action by reducing the clumping of platelets. Platelets are cells that clump together and help to form blood clots. Aspirin keeps platelets from clumping together, thus helping to prevent or reduce blood clots. Most heart attacks and strokes are caused by blood clots.

I agree!

In combination with nattokinase it seems to

"the simultaneous use of aspirin led to a synergistic effect on blood lipid profiles and suppressed atherosclerosis progression"

Effective management of atherosclerosis progress and hyperlipidemia with nattokinase: A clinical study with 1,062 participants

Nattokinase (NK), known as a potent fibrinolytic and antithrombotic agent, has been shown to have antiatherosclerotic and lipid-lowering effects. However, data on human clinical studies are limited. In this clinical study involving 1,062 participants, ...
