Increasing Absorption of Oral Prohormones

[Jacob Creutzfeldt]

Does anyone on the board know techniques to increase the bioavailability of oral prohormones? Will grapefruit, fatty meals, or ginger help?

Grapefruit or the juice of a grapefruit will definitely increase the effect of many, if not all drugs taken orally. At least that's what I've read. Taking fats will only help if it's a fat soluble. I don't believe that prohormones are. I've never heard of Ginger doing anything. You do mean Ginger from Gilligan's Island, don't you? j/k.

So I should take prohormones with glass of grapefruitjuice?

 

[40butpumpin]

Yes, that's the theory anyway. Doesn't have to actually wash them down, however, just has to get into your system within some short peroid of time. I can't remember exactly how long but something like an hour I'm pretty sure. hth

yeah, but grapefruit drinks/juices won't work .... only 'not for concentrate'...whole juice...with rind/pulp intact etc...

Yup, I believe tm is right on. I think for it to really work you'd have to cut open a grapefruit and suck th juice out. But that's JMO.
