Thanks for the commentary, Mike. Your knowledge is highly valued.
Re: MA (Mike Arnold) Labs Somatozine Log by MuscleAddiction
Alright, just a little update...still running Somatozine at 2 caps, and still going strong. I just donated blood for the first time ever today, gave double reds , and what a process that is. Was strange seeing the dark red blood come out and then the machine pump back in what they didn't want...strange sensation. Ate 3 bags of trail mix after and had two meals as I was starving...took a 30 minute nap and I feel pretty good. Will donate again in 16 weeks and do it regularly.

good for you MA! Overall well being should improve dramatically. Blood will flow smoother, organs wont have to work as hard, many benefits! Only slight downside is, you'll feel a bit winded for a week or so.

Good for you MA ! I kinda smiled when you said the 'stuff' they didn't want? When you do a "Power Red", blood is drawn from your arm to a single-use needle set to a machine. The machine separates and collects two units of red cells and then returns the remaining blood components (platelets, plasma and some saline (water),so you don't lose the liquid portion of your blood and may feel more hydrate after your donation.
So,the goal of blood donation is to induce a mild anemia in the attempt to clear stored iron from tissues and organs.
Like Knights mention, a Power Red can make you feel a little "anemic". Trust me, as someone that has done blood draws for 15-20 years, I know the feeling. Now you have to find your correct frequency and balance.
Depending upon your height and weight,your circulatory system holds 10-12 pints of blood at any givin time. Removing 1 pint of that makes a difference that you will feel!
As a result, your system begins to compensate and quickly works to make new blood.
Hemoglobin in your blood carries iron ,so when you lose blood via donating, you're essentially also losing iron. By reducing excess iron and lowering the ferritin level, you halt or hopefully reverse the progress of iron overload disease, and prolong your life..
A single blood donation removes (ball park) 200 to 250 milligrams of iron.
Considering the typical daily loss of iron through our metabolism is about 1 to 2 milligrams, so you can do the math on a "Power Red"!!
Keep this in mind: The human body has NO major mechanism for excreting iron once we have ingested it.
This biological reality therefore makes blood donation all the more "critical"
In relationship, removing approximately 450 to 500 milliliters ,or 1 pint of blood............AM

Re: MA (Mike Arnold) Labs Somatozine Log by MuscleAddiction
MA, whats the verdict? Thanks bro!
Re: MA (Mike Arnold) Labs Somatozine Log by MuscleAddiction
FWIW, I'm running it permanently at one cap a day. I think it's a very good product but two caps made me too lethargic. Perhaps it's just me.

Legit, been on 2 caps for sometime now but plan on stopping tonight being 1 week out from my competition, but will jump back on the following week and into my next one. The lethargy subsided a long time ago, but like JRam stated will look into running this in the off season. I highly recommend this product to those who want the benefits of GH without having to spend your life savings on several kits.
