Question for Macro about Aldosterone

[SuperOne]

Hey Macro, i was doing some reading and came across a post you made saying that Aldosterone is the hormone responsible for bloat and that Evodiamine inhibits Aldosterone.

Is this correct? And if so how much Evodiamine do i have to take? Is it safe to use long term?


Im asking because i think the Minoxidil increases Aldosterone if systematically absorbed, and thats how it causes facial and other bloating.


I was using Dutasteride for a couple of days with 2 pumps of AIMF monring and night, and it seemed to control facial bloating better then when i was also using Minoxidil, so i think the Minoxidil is also a big culprit in the facial bloating i get.


Are there any other drugs that inhibit Aldosterone? I read that eplerenone is an Aldosterone antagonist, but dont know much about it and woudl rather not use drugs if possible.


If you could help me out i would greatly appreciate it.


Thx.

Minoxidil isn't absorbed systemically. I use it ed and my face is skinny as hell.

Yes it can be absorbed systematically. Which Minoxidil do you use?

Bump for Macro please.

Any studies showing that a significant amount of minoxidil is absorbed systemically?

Yes i just posted some info, it definetly can be absorbed systematically, i get a bloated face from it along with other people on the hairloss forums.

Do the research. Facial Edema is a side effect, obviously it can get absorbed in the blood stream.
