Thread: anticoagulants effect aas?

  1. #1

    anticoagulants effect aas?

    Now correct me if Im wrong but, while cycling, there is a higer chance of blood clot/stroke due to higher red blood cell count right?

    Now, as a small precautionary measure, would an anticoagulant be unnnecassary or effect levels in the body at all?

    Any info pretaining to blood clots or anticoagulants while "on" would be helpful.

    I suffered a DVT from a cycle - 2.5 years ago. Since then, I have done a tremendous amount of research. Here is what I know:

    Yes - high RBC's can lead to a "slowling" of blood flow and cause a clot. I now donate blood regularly to offset this effect - and it works. Clomid, A/L Dex, Nolva - all have blood clotting properties. For me, PCT was a greater risk.

    I now take a supplement that I absolutely believe lowers cardiovascular risks. It is called Nattokinase. I buy it from a company called Pure Prescriptions. It dissolved my last DVT - no doubt. Today, I take a couple pills EOD.

    Some people say asprin helps, but although this reduces blood stickyness, most professionals believe it only helps artery and not vienous clotting.

    Clotting is also impacted by diet. Vitamin K, which is found in green vegetables, causes clotting factors to increase. So, I am careful to avoid too many salads, ect.

    So, I recommend the above, plus drink a lot of water. In addition, you can get a simple finger prick at your doctors office and they can tell you your clotting number within minutes. If it is normal, no sweat. If it gets low (which is bad - too thick) then they may prescribe Coumadin. If it gets too high (too thin), be very, very cautious of taking any blood thickening medication. I personally would change diet before taking anything like that. But blood getting too thin is very unusual and rare.

    Feel free to PM me if you need any other info, I could talk about this topic for days.
