Hey Good People
Another no training day, not good. Spent day travelling to vessel. Worked till midday then Unpack and set up lab in cabin and sorted everything else out.
Got bloods back today. All looks good and improving except kidney function, but could be due to heavy training and very high protein intake during the last 4 weeks.
| Day | Date | Oils (IM evening) | HGH | HCG (subQ)
MT2 | Anavar | Proviron | Aromasin | TUDCA/ Caber | Cartalax/Glow/
BPC157 | Telmisartan | Tadalafil & Dutasteride 0.5mg | Reta/Sema/Cagri |
| Thu | 21 May | No oils | 3.5IU/0.38ml
AM -PM 0.19ml | 500 IU/0.15
MT2 333mcg/0.1 | | 25mg | | Caber 0.25mg | Cart 3.5 mg/0.35
Glow 0.3ml
BPC 1mg/0.1ml | 20 mg | 10 mg
0.5mg | |
The only change to dosing has been the addition of BPC157 1mg daily.
Macros were close and high on carbs again but didnt feel very healthy.

Have started to try to drink more due to blood results as below.

Did a comparison with bloods at start of cut and come up with a comparison which shows most markers improved except Kidney ones.
Have converted Test and free test to US standard measurement so you may be able to get a clear comparison so if you spot anything which I have missed please let me know.
1. Hormones (Sex Hormones + Related)
| Marker | Pre-Cut (24/04) | After 4W Cut (18/05) | Change | Typical US Male Range (approx.) | Comment |
|---|
| Prolactin | 14.6 ng/mL (high) | 1.7 ng/mL | Major improvement | <13–18 ng/mL | Now excellent |
| Oestradiol (E2) | 31.9 pg/mL | 47.4 pg/mL | Worsened (high) | 10–40 pg/mL | Now elevated |
| Total Testosterone | 1,355 ng/dL (high) | 4,989 ng/dL | Massive increase | 300–1,000 ng/dL (TRT can be higher) | Supraphysiological |
| Free Testosterone (calc) | 522 pg/mL (high) | 2,065 pg/mL | Massive increase | 50–210 pg/mL (TRT higher) | Extremely elevated |
| SHBG | 8 nmol/L (low) | 12 nmol/L (low) | Slight improvement | 10–50 nmol/L | Still low |
| LH / FSH | Both <1 mIU/mL | Both <1 mIU/mL | Stable (suppressed) | — | Expected on TRT + HCG |
Am rather happy where E2 is sitting and wont mind if it goes a little higher.
No need for AI as yet.
2. Inflammation & Cardiovascular Risk
- hs-CRP: 2.9 mg/L → 0.8 mg/L → Significant improvement (now low-risk: <1.0 mg/L)
- CRP is down alot and thats great. Up really high when on SARMS and Anavar and TBol.
- Lipids (mg/dL):
- Total Cholesterol: ~85 → ~85 mg/dL (excellent; <200 desirable)
- Triglycerides: 62 → 35 mg/dL → improved (<150 ideal)
- HDL: 27 → 36 mg/dL → improved (>40 desirable)
- Total/HDL ratio: improved
- LDL (calc): ~46 → ~42 mg/dL → slight improvement
Overall: Lipid profile and systemic inflammation have improved markedly during the cut.
3. Thyroid
- Free T4: ~1.09 ng/dL → 1.55 ng/dL → improved (mid-reference)
- Free T3: ~3.0 pg/mL → 3.3 pg/mL → improved
- TSH: 1.7 → 2.1 mIU/mL (both normal)
Positive improvement in active thyroid hormones.
4. Liver Enzymes (U/L — same units)
- ALT: 84 → 68
- AST: 64 → 48
- GGT, ALP, bilirubin: all normal/stable
Improved but still mildly elevated. So as a result have started with Liver supplements, TUDCA 750mg, NAC1200mg etc. Have drawn up Supplements table with the gear available that I bought along so I know when and how much to take. This was why I was hoping to get results back before I left for work so that if needed I could get supps that would have been required. Could have got more TUDCA as 1250mg daily would have been better here, but gotta play the cards been delt.
5. Renal / Electrolytes / Metabolic
| Marker | Pre-Cut | After Cut | Change | Typical US Range | Comment |
|---|
| BUN (urea) | 17.1 mg/dL | 25.8 mg/dL | Worsened | 7–20 mg/dL | Now high |
| Creatinine | 1.02 mg/dL | 1.22 mg/dL | Worsened | 0.7–1.3 mg/dL | Rising |
| eGFR | 79 mL/min | 63 mL/min | Worsened | >60 mL/min | Declining |
| Potassium | 5.3 mEq/L | 5.7 mEq/L | Worsened | 3.5–5.0 mEq/L | Both high |
| Magnesium | 1.94 mg/dL | 2.43 mg/dL | Improved | 1.6–2.6 mg/dL | Now normal/upper |
| Glucose | 58 mg/dL (fasting) | 92 mg/dL (random) | Normal/stable | 70–99 fasting | — |
Main concern area: Kidney markers have deteriorated. Possible contributors during a cut: dehydration, high protein intake, increased training intensity, or TRT effects. Potassium is also climbing.
So anyone have any idea in relation to my Kidney markers???
6. Haematology (Full Blood Count)
- Haemoglobin: 14.9 → 15.9 g/dL → increased (expected/benign on TRT)
- Haematocrit: 48% → 52% → increased (still within range but monitor)
- Platelets: 448 → 347 ×10³/µL → improved (now normal)
- RDW: ~19–19.3% → remains high
- White cells / differentials: all normal
7. Other Markers
- PSA: 0.67 → 0.75 ng/mL → slight rise (still excellent; <4.0)
- IGF-1: ~222 → ~207 ng/mL → minor decrease (both normal)
- Magnesium (already covered): improved
Haematocrit
Is on the higher end at 0.52 but will maintain my current level of Caber
So over all am happy with the way things are going a few things I need to do, more water, less Potassium intake and start taking Liver supps.
