There's some debate about that. Personally I just stick with the standardized curcumin, supplemented with 30mg bioperine. I think most people underestimate how much bioperine you need to use to get the maximum benefit.Sorry if its mentioned but whats the best form of curcumin? Seems like its always changing
Cancer detection/prevention panel (privatemd has this)
Interesting.
Does this pick up all cancer?
2 things just for thought. As for caffeine it is a dietetic, but for most people if they are drinking coffee they will be taking in more H2O then the drug is releasing from my reading and experience.Bump...
Want to talk about
Lowering HCT
Active things you could try:
• Get more cardio and aerobic exercise
• Stay hydrated always
• Stay away from alcohol and caffeine (both are dehydrating)
• Phlebotomy (under a doctor's supervision)
Supplements/drugs that may help:
• High EPA/DHA Omega 3 oil daily
• Grapefruit as a fruit or supplement Naringin
Note: I hesitated to add this one bc while although effective in studies, it may cause problems with many medications due to it interfering with the CYP3A4 enzyme which helps break down and slow absorption of many medications from statins to benzos and may cause a much higher blood concentration, or C(max), or a longer duration of activity (AUC) possibly leading to overdose or other problems.
• Aspirin low dose
• Eliquis, Warfarin or equiv. (prevention of DVT)
Feel free to correct or add to this and I'll put it in.
No water loss at all is a good idea for someone with high HCT. Warfarin or Eliquis or equiv may be considered in severe cases. The risk of DVT and thromboembolism is far more deadly than any endothelial problems arising from medication. Obviously aspirin would be preferred. Altered the entry though. Thank you for suggestions. Keep 'em coming.2 things just for thought. As for caffeine it is a dietetic, but for most people if they are drinking coffee they will be taking in more H2O then the drug is releasing from my reading and experience.
And Warfarin can lead to calcification of the arteries due to lack of Vit K. So that should be addressed.
I like that panel !LEF's prices always seemed reasonable to me. They have a few. I used to get their tests when they ran their yearly sale and would use them when needed. Now my insurance covers most things but i keep them in reserve just in case. Never can have to many sources.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rare disease that affects the filters in your kidneys. When these filters are scarred, they are unable to filter your blood, which can lead to kidney damage and failure. Treatment for FSGS focuses on treating the symptoms and preventing any additional scarringNo one talks about AAS causing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
It should be a serious variable for AAS users to be aware of, especially those who don't combat hypertension religiously.
Use Google Scholar. For example:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rare disease that affects the filters in your kidneys.

Had to Google no idea what this was
That’s great You might also want to look into The carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT) it is cheap and non invasive and will see if you have any soft plaque. Neither is 100% but I would always want to be the guy with zero score than notMy father died at 49 of a massive coronary heart attack. His father died at 49 of a heart attack. I never believed I would suffer the same fate because my lifestyle choices are much different (no smoking, little drinking, good diet, etc). One of my sisters wasn’t so sure and she was counting down the years until my certain death at 49.
I have had a history of high cholesterol and of course on and off again AAS usage.
Since I’ve been living on borrowed time for the last 7 years, I finally decided to get a calcium score and had the scan this last Saturday. I have been dreading the result. Surely with that history I have to be plugged up pretty good and will need significant life changes.
Got the result from my doc today. Calcium score: 0 (zero)!!
Looks like the grim reaper will just
