Title: So, I'm on TRT now for a few months, Hemoglobin is high so....
Post by: Tom on December 11, 2024, 07:02:32 AM
Started TRT a few months ago, and my latest blood draw my hemoglobin is high, meaning out of the "normal "range, but not TOO high, (i.e. the highest number for the normal range is 17 and mine is currently 18.1)...

the test cream I have been taking is 200mg which is the highest? amount that can be given.. 2 squirt pumps on my junk everyday....I have been "naughty" in that i've been doing 3 pumps a day (so 300 mg?)... anyway, the question is besides regularly giving blood is there any over the counter supplement I can take to lower my hemoglobin/red blood cell number? I have read taking cinnamon every day can help, increase water intake and cut out iron from my multi vitamin?...

Do I need to worry that much about my numbers? I am 60 years old now....

You could try not overdosing the highest recommended amount, hope this helps.

Out of interest, are you experiencing any positive effects from the TRT? Can you describe? Eg any increase in muscle or weight? Recovery of any niggling injuries. Better skin? Harder erections (no homo). Etc?

This. Although don’t tell them you’re donating for that reason or they may not accept it. I donate every 60 days. It’s not needed to do it that much but I like helping and it’s not a huge deal or inconvenience.

I will answer for me, I take 50mgs every 4 days subq and I’ve added a lot of muscle and strength. All injuries feel way better. Crazy hard erections. There’s days and they seem to be the day before the next shot is due when I have to have sex and jerk it like 5-6 times. It’s amazing. My test levels are up 4 fold.

Yes of course you can. And indeed this is how many of the TRT clinics now recommend it. Perhaps a slower release, but totally fine to do.

From my readings donating blood is also risky in some aspects. I wouldn't do therapy, but I'm not a doc so... I would take the supplement nattokinase. Read up on it. Doctors aren't sure if high levels affect mortality when due to hrt, they do it as "just in case," or some endos don't maybe believe that much but I don't know. I'm not sure if those who live at high altitute are also at risk but I have read "no."

It’s very similar to a movie from the 70’s called Badlands. I’d imagine it’s a homage, right down to the upbeat instrumental music.

I was thinking no one has probably collected all the clinics' users red blood cell levels and then compared mortality statistics. As all the journals said all the time, the future will tell, maybe it will take another 40 years  :D This HRT thing is just an experiment.

The fastest the ester the less red blood build up at least in my own experience. Smaller subcutaneous shots  over weekly long acting IM depots seem too help too.

I read the higher the peak the more likely red blood cell increase, so yes frequent admin should help. Supposedly the creams don't have this problem.

Yeah but to then attribute mortality to red blood cell elevation specifically, i.e. the exact mechanism behind that mortality increase, could be strokes, could be many things. I think it's hard to do these types of studies  :D

I'm happy you at least checked it out. Two things, anything you take choose the brand that has been independently tested, for example Thorne has always come out great, now appears Thorne doesn't have natto. Amazon is bad that way, lots of completely fake product.

When buying supps always check if this site has info on it, examine.com. This is generally very solid info. Here's the natto.

https://examine.com/supplements/nattokinase/?srsltid=AfmBOoqsTV37RNbeSnanxVQff4gU09xA6h7qEUMhRAcTi2fp0b5i_LsX&show_conditions=true

I'll check brands on what I would buy. One bb pro/guru says it would be good if all bodybuilders checked if they had a blood clotting disorder. He says quite a few have one but don't know about it and then testosterone, anabolics are extra risky. Another guru "dogcrapp dante trudel" says natto is at the top of his recommended protective supps. This is one of the independent supplement testing sites, didn't have the energy to register there.
