    Best way to run Var

    Last cycle I made up 100mg caps and had terible heart burn from it...any advice on a better dosage or if breaking it up during the day will improve blood/plasma levels?

    I you're getting heartburn obviously you shouldn't take it in large doses. Performance wise you won't see a difference, but logically you'd want to split it up as much as possible if you have heartburn issues.

    Most people don't need 100mg daily.

    Take it with meals, should make it easier on the stomach.

    Did you try simply taking OTC heartburn medication, like Prilosec?

    And yes, breaking up 100mg throughout the day instead of taking it once per day can only have a positive effect on blood/serum levels.

    I've always split mine up as well, morning and mid-day. Always with food.

    I have stomach issues to, I split mine 50mg every 12 hrs. Never had the issues with var like this. Didn't really notice any difference, but if you can split I would.

    Yeah, It's just the heartburn issue really and yes OTC stuff does work... For men 80-100mg seems to be the most effective dosage and I've always done 100..guess I'll make these caps at 40mg a peice and see how that does.

    Heartburn is crazy. I have never ever experienced heartburn from any AAS, yet food kills the heck out of me.

    I seem to get a little heartburn from my var if i don't take it with food...saying that my diet has changed so it could be the food in general. I take mine once daily 50mg as its a tab and to small to split otherwise i would split it up. Getting some crazy pumps and hardness from them although the lower back pumps aint to nice

    Same here. I have constant issues with heartburn, and it's doubled when I'm on cycle. Taking 1 Prilosec a day seems to do the trick, however.

    I would definitely split up that dose evenly throughout the day
