Injection Clot
I wanted to see how many of you ever came across this issue. My buddy whom I have know for over (14) years has been on and off cycles throughout the last (8-10 years). He just recently had some issues that forced him to seek medical attention. During his few visits they revealed that he had some blood clots. They have him on blood thinners and a diet regimen. The doctors told him that his use of AAS caused the clots. They advised that due to the oils and frequent injections he over time built up these clots through the AAS use.Has anyone ever experienced this first hand or heard of this before. I personally have not heard of anything to date but let me know what you think? My concern is this doctor just using this as an excuse for lack of evidence.

Yes this is a possibility. Also the high protein diet that goes along with cycling could be to blame. You can build up levels of what is called homocysteine. I believe it is caused by the unmetabolized methione part of protein.
High levels of homocysteine can over time cause heart disease, blood clots. I think I made a post about this possibility a while ago.
Not saying this is what caused his blood clot, is one possibility, of many. But it is one possibility that Im aware of. Some doctors describe it as being twice as dangerous as high cholestrol. Normal levels are in the 10-12 range.
His doctor told him that there are numerous reasons. But did throw out some well known info in cases with certain AAS like (EQ) they can raise red blood cell counts and in certain individuals this can be a higher risk for clotting. The higher red blood cells does not mean it is the cause but he said that with some one who has bad veins, high blood pressure, family history, poor diet etc these can attribute to worse side effects or higher chances of clotting. That being said I think that this is why it is crucial in giving advice. Knowing stats, age, weight, time training, how much AAS use prior etc. I will check out your remedy though and give my buddy the tip!
its a little more in depth but YES ^ correct
Also I should mention levels of homocysteine can be lowered using Betaine Anhydrous. You can purchase this in powder form and mix it up to drink.
Betaine anhydrous is safe for most people. It can cause some minor side effects. These include nausea, stomach upset, and diarrhea.
yeah I would like to read some feedback on this as well! Its always been on my mind.
Never heard of anything like that..
neva heard of nutin of dat sort either!!!
That's interesting. I was just thinking about this the other day. Hope to see some input.
