Thread: Prostate issue

    Prostate issue

    Age: 50
    Height: 5'11"
    Weight: 195lbs
    Body Fat: 16%
    Years Training: 35
    Cycle Experience: 1. Sustanon 250 + dbol + HGH, 2. Anavar + Test + HGH, 3. Deca/EQ/Test + HGH

    I'm doing more cardio with the objective to lose body fat. When I take a thermogenic (ephedrine, aspirin, caffeine stack) my prostate grows. Then I suffer the results there of. A couple of weeks after I get off the thermo's everything comes back to normal.

    Any suggestions on an alternative thermogenic while doing cardio?

    Mate, based on your age, I'd recommend, irregardless of the thermogenic you decide, I'd recommend you think about Saw Palmetto... Improves prostate health.

    Another question. How do you know your prostate grows? Irritable bladder? Difficulty starting/stopping stream?

    Sudafed, similar agent, is known to frequently cause gland swelling.
    I'm taking 8 capsules saw palmetto daily. I don't have them near me
    for dosage. Me, 75, slightly enlarged gland long before starting Test C,
    125md every two weeks. Tamoxifin 20mg daily, am going to reduce
    but be vigilant.

    Caffeine promotes this thing called exciteable bladder. I may have just made the term up, although I've thought i've heard it before.

    never heard about the propecia for the prostate. expensive?

    ScotchGuard02, i believe all thermo supplements are a waist of money! i will be 51 soon and on Monday i am doing a prostate exam, i am glad you posted this topic, I've never considered any supplements to reduce the swelling of prostate, but reading about saw palmetto i became interested! one of the benefits is to inhibit testosterone from reaching the prostate! this is really interesting to me since i am on my way to TRT! i don't have any problems with my prostate as far as i know, and since there are so many fake suppliers out there, can anyone recommend a good brand of saw palmetto and perhaps where to get it from? Thanks.

    Caffeine is a dieretic. That is why it causes you to piss alot.

    Thanks for all the feedback. I've been on saw palmetto and it seems to be helping. I do notice when I get off Test that if flow more freely.

    BTW - there is a difference between "swelling" and growth of the prostate - you may want to check that out.
