Aspirin daily to prevent blood clots

[-Maui-]

Healthy people don't need drugs, you're right.
But we're talking about people taking steroids, which is bad for blood rheology.
You might as well say that doctors don't recommend aromatase inhibitors for healthy people.

Anyone else take aspirin or low dose aspirin to prevent possible blood clots?

Any downsides to it? @Type-IIx

Yes low dose are used for some people " baby dose " every day, another use 5days / week.

I think you need to check your doctor because depend your situation aspirin are not a good idea, or maybe great.

Depend your level of hematocrit and depend if your blood are admissible, donate are a good things.

And depend bleeding are proposed in clinic / hospital ...

So check your doctor to know what is the best for you.

Take Care

Increased bleeding risks.

Decreases the risk of clots ))

Nattokinase is the way.

If the goal is to reduce clotting consider nattokinase

You're so fond of confusing healthy people with athletes.

I take 1/2 of a 81mg baby aspirin every day at night before bed. I've been doing this for probably 3-4 years now with no side effects. If you're on AAS in any capacity there's no reason you shouldn't be taking baby aspirin.

Fish oil on its own, and through its own mechanisms, unrelated to aspirin, increases the risk of stroke, hemorrhage, cardiac events etc. As a result, it's probably not good to combine fish oil and aspirin, but people do it.

I don't think people should take fish oil, at all. If people want these fatty acids, they should eat cold water fish.

Aspirin has been the target of hate campaigns for the last 80 years or maybe longer.

This is a great article.

Yes gen pop has it way worse, eating shit, drinking excessively and smoking. The takeaway from the video is that's if you don't have underlying conditions you shouldn't compromising your bloods ability to clot

High hematocrit and cholesterol is some kind of joke to you?

I’m plagiarizing myself, with some edits for clarity and to remove typos:

When an arterial wall is damaged, an enzyme called thromboxane A2 alters the expression of a surface protein in platelets, to encourage them to aggregate. Aspirin stops the production of the precursors to thromboxane, and prevents that aggregation process from occurring.

There is a drawback, in that many of the enzymes involved in this process are also a part of the systemic inflammatory response, which is ultimately what drives supercompensation from the small-scale damage of training. There is evidence that, beyond a certain dose threshold, aspirin may impair portions of pathways known to be central to getting swole as fuck.

Baby aspirin (81 mg in the US) seems to hit a sweet spot. It inhibits clot formation by reducing platelet aggregation, but won’t shut down the inflammation needed for hypertrophy.

In regular practice, low-dose aspirin isn’t universally recommended to all patients aged 60+ without a specific risk profile anymore. There was never great evidence for that regime anyway, but the prospective harm was so low that the trade-off seemed beneficial. After decades of millions of people taking it, the risk of bleeds and GI issues began to outweigh the perceived prophylactic effect. Now, it’s recommended to patients with previous heart conditions or certain other elevated risk factors.

For someone on gear, blood pressure, blood lipids, and hematocrit can become problematic, and they all contribute to the class of negative cardiac outcomes low dose aspirin can address. Enteric coating can ameliorate the GI issue, and unless your liver is trashed to shit already, 81 mg isn’t going to do anything.

TLDR - cheap, effective where it counts, and unlikely to do harm. Worth a shot, at least.

What part of underline conditions you failed to comprehend?

You can let your platelets clump together easily by having a high hematocrit and cholesterol on cycle.

cycle is a risk factor

There is no risk of bleeding with nattokinase?

I quit taking aspirin years ago as many of mu supps thin the blood and do not want to get it to thin. I wouldn't mind taking aspirin for some of the anti cancer properties but that will have to wait for now.

I developed a clot in my lung after my first cycle and PCT & a few months after that i got on TRT from my Dr and I clotted within the first month of TRT. I had all blood work done & everything was within range and considered normal.

Possible the clot started when I hurt my ankle / achilles or when I had a nasty viral infection and cough or was the TRT, we might never know. I see a hematologist shortly and will be honest with my AAS history and see what he says. not to hijack thread but I will update after I see the hematologist because taking a daily aspirin is a question I wanted to ask if I continue on TRT if I am even allowed.
