Holy shit my HDL is under 10?!?

[Redshoteye]

This has gotta be a joke.......

My family doctor just calls me (he kind of knows I started taking andro) and is all livid on the phone and tells me to stop whatever I'm taking right now, apparently they tested my blood twice and my HDL was under 10!!! This doesn't make any sense because my total cholesterol is 160, which is pretty damn good.

Either the andro was interfering with the blood test or it actually lowered it by that much. I've only been on it for two weeks so I can't imagine it being that low... dosages were very high though.

For comparision, lets just say my HDL was 40 back in 2003 when I was out-of-shape and probably 10-15lbs overweight. I've never really freaked out about anything before but this is coming close.... if I stop this andro cold-turkey I'll have worse gyno than Raina.........

I know this belongs in diet or supplements but damn what should I do bros?

It has nothing to do with Gyno bor, thats your hormonal profile. This is your Lipid panel and is a well know effect of pro-hormones/steroids. Basically, get the f-off whatever your on and get back to baseline before you design any future cycle (which you may not be a good candidate).

Normal Adult Range is 35 - 135 mg/dL and stop unless your not interested in removing cholesterol from your peripheral tissues and transporting it back to the liver for catabolism and excretion...

Also, I am sure you mean like 1-ad? not the old andro shit.

not being funny but with readings like that your fucked and will die soon, a really painful death. can i have your computer..

i friend of mine had a reading of 30 and 14 days later died cause of it... you need to sort it out quickly the best way is to eat about 1/2 pound of beetroot a day washed down with apple juice

highly androgenic non-aromatizing "gear" kills hdl. as do anti-e ancillaries (not nolva). as does anavar, which is neither. among the worst offenders are var, proviron, arimidex, masteron, winny, and anything similar in the prohormone world (like 1-tu, 1-test)

its temporary and will recover 4-6 weeks after you stop.

while on, take label dose of cardiovascular version of Kyolic Garlic, which according to studies acts as a substitute "super-hdl", carrying away bad fats and preventing plaque accumulation.

to help recover quicker (and for some, keeps hdl from falling too low while on):
1) 20 minutes min walking or jogging (same effect for this purpose) 4 or 5 times a week
2) nonflush niacin (inositol hexanicotinate)
3) high fiber (psyllium seed husk products like metamucil good)
4) add monosaturated fats like olive oil, walnuts (also has arginine related vascular benfit)
5) policosanoil (lowers ldl raises hdl)
6) Nolvadex (yup)


search on combo of HDL and the terms above and you'll find lots of specifics on EF

Great post, k for you.
Should I NOT stop cold-turkey and not risk crashing? Or can I stop and be fine with these supplements you suggested?

WTF?
I can't believe I accidently gave you green karma for that you little bastard.
Consider yourself on a waiting list.
