    Supps for my dad.

    Ok my dads 57 and been lifting his whole life, hes just not good at dieting. Hes takin some prohormones but I dont want to get him on anything anymore unless its HRT. He has high cholesterol and blood pressure which he is medicated for. I was thinking about getting him some Sesathin becuase Ive heard how great it is and it will help his lipid profile. Would 6-0xo or formestane be any good for him. If so at what dosages do you reccomend. Also the E-form ( dermabolics formestane) contains 3 grams of powder at 100mg/ 5 sprays. Can i add 3 grams and make it 200mg/5 sprays. Also thought id get him some tribulus, CEE, and hawthorne berry extract. Let me know what you think.

    Honestly i would say have him go to his doctor and see what they can prescribe him to help with his medical issues. It will save alot of money in the long run, as insurance should cover the bulk of the cost. But i don't see any harm in getting him on some trib, CEE, and hawthorne berry extract.

    yeah hes already on lescol ( sp) and lotrel I think. I was just wondering if an anti e would be alright for him to take. I dont want to give him letro because ive heard that it can be bad for you lipid profile. I think that it was prolangtum that originally reccomeneded the sesathin for lowering cholesterol.

    Many high BP and Cholesterol probs
    can be cleaned up by diet and natural supps.
    Doesnt need to be super rigid, just no crap.
    I got my neighbor off of 4 different meds,
    just by cleaning up his diet and getting
    him to take Udo's oil every day.

    I agree, that many BP issues can simply be fixed by cutting out sh!tty foods.

    yeah but we have a family history of it. Just about every male in the family has had high blood pressure by the time there 35. But really would sesathin and formestane be safe for him to take?

    Sesathin would be fine, not certain about formestane though.

    Why don't you have him take some green tea extract caps. These will be good for his heart/cholesterol and also help clean the liver and prevent cancer.
    This effect can be increase by adding a few grams of vit. C to it.
    No sides at all.

    SesaThin is probaly one of the best products he could take.

    Just a line from the write up:
    "Oh and it has very potent effects on blood cholesterol—along the lines of lipotor."

    This is not just hype, its backed by studies printed on the write up.
