Cardiovascular and Kidney:
-Biaxol 5mg before sleeping
-telmisartan 20mg in the morning
-Aspirin 100mg
-Coenzyme Q10

Reason:My blood pressure is hypertension stage 1 without anything,with a fast resting heart rate. Usually biaxol 5mg does the job in protecting cardiovascular health and kidney health. Usually people say “the higher levels of creatinine are the reason why kidney health gets worse” while actually usually it’s the high blood pressure that just nukes the kidney. Since I already use a good beta blocker,I do low dose telmisartan instead of the usual maintence dose. Also roids,the more anabolic and androgenic they are will increase your red blood cells like crazy,that’s why you need aspirin to prevent blood from clotting. Q10 is the best thing you can get in terms of availability but alone won’t work.

Insulin sensitivity,organ health,hormonal support etc:
-N-Aceytl L-Cysteine 1800mg
-Glycine (depends)
-telmisartan (included in cardiovascular section)
-Metformin 2000mg
-Cabergoline 0.25mg 3 times a week
-Important micronutrients and minerals (magnesium,zinc etc)


Reason:Lots of roids are hepatoxic meaning they nuke your liver mostly by the enzymes,NAC is a L-glutathione precursor,a strong antioxidant. Also glycine is also an important precursor for glutathione. Now telmisartan and Metformin is to perserve insulin sensitivity,it’s kind of embarrassing to admit but so many people of my family get type 2 diabetes and it’s mostly on my mom’s side. I use caber to reduce prolactin,to prevent heart side effects don’t try to excessively lower prolactin and you might just need p5p 200-300mg for it.

metformin will lower IGF-1 a lot which will interfere with recovery and muscle cell hyperplasia

Yes,but I’m on GH+Insulin so it shouldn’t be a problem at all. I’d rather have a slightly lower IGF-1 than type 2 diabetes.

😍😍 Although I'm not on cycle i bookmarked for the future. your threads are something i look forward to
 
What about lipid profile management
 
Statins or cardarine help a lot
Cardarine to my understanding increases oxidative stress specifically with something that already increases it such as tren. My lipid profiles look good,my LDL is in safe range.

It increases fat oxidation causing more oxidative stress like DNP
