Patterns w/ EQ

[Meetketchup]

Over the last year I've mentioned in a few posts where I've noticed increased kidney values (Cystatin-C/eGFR) in blood work when using EQ. Of course, way more people are running it with the Primo/Mast scarcity so maybe it's just a numbers thing or not many people weren't testing eGFR values in the past as opposed to now. I don't see it with everyone and see it less often with lower doses/shorter cycles, but I am seeing in more with moderate to higher dosages especially in older guys. Makes sense with thicker blood viscosity flowing through the kidneys along with other factors.

Many of you run it and are fine, but it's something to be aware of and check via bloodwork when running. It can really affect some guys negatively and if it is f'ing your kidneys than you should show and make a decision on if it's worth it.
This isn't a bashing EQ post or anything. Just putting some info out.

Nice to know I'm not the only one seeing it, good watch below.

I've ran EQ but never at high dosage. Kidney values did not change. Again I always keep everything under 300 mg. I think the highest I went on EQ was 400 for 16 weeks with no adverse effects. Not a big fan and most likely will never run t again since I like to keep my blasts around 8 to 10 weeks.

Low doses and shorter cycles always good!

It's a good compound. Just want people to know it's a possibility and look at kidney values when getting blood work as a precaution. If you are one of the people who have issues running it, you should know. That's all. Most guys get eGFR and such now with blood work so it's not a big deal. Plenty of guys take EQ, respond well, get little to no sides. Not talking to them.

Just wrote something on this on someone elses thread today.
I feel like there's a couple points to make. I'm lucky in that EQ never gave me ANY side effects. I've worked up to 2g of it and felt great with good bloodwork. But...i'm also in my late 30's and need to adjust my choices on what drugs are best and safest.

1. Gear is harder on you and tougher on your bloodwork when you're older. Doses of ANYTHING affect you different when you're 40+ than when you're 25. Test, Deca, EQ, Tren, allll of it.

2. EQ is already known to be hit or miss for some people. Pre this kidney scare, MOST guys haddd to have a handle on their hematocrit and RBCs before touching it. It was never known as a crystal clear safe drug.

3. There are work arounds. We know that EQ depletes natural antioxidant systems in kidney tissue. So as a way to combat that and the AAS-induced oxidative stress, you BETTER be supplementing antioxidants to counter act this shit. Research showed that high dosed Vitamin C helped a tonnnn. I'm talking 3g+.

It’s a helpful post. Kidneys are not to be fucked with.

Biggest issue I’ve seen with my own lab work is hematocrit continually raising. Last time went from 51 to 56 before I decided I need to intervene (gifted 1 pint blood to the trash). It did take quite a while to move that far but was consistently increasing every lab work.

This. EQ is my main anabolic alongside test. I take 1g c per meal, and Cystatin c is always solid.

Good info guys!
