Baby aspirin. Did you notice anything after taking it , any effect from none, bad or good. you take it daily ?

Is this taken as a prevention med for blood clots ?

Might add it in. Only worry is does it effect libido. That's my worry as a male about anything, or increase, or no effects to that area .

Is your Dr recommending it? It reduces blood clotting, which helps prevent stroke and heart attack for those prone to it. But is also increases your risk of hemorrhage. This could turn something like a mild concussion into a life threat. Never heard of it effecting libido.

Lol it says right on the bottle of Bayer Aspirin “the wonder drug”. There is good reason for this, I have been taking baby aspirin or hell even the regular 325mg aspirins sometimes for about 10 years now about 3-4 times a week. I rarely get headaches but when I do an aspirin will kill it almost immediately. My family unfortunately has a history of diabetes and heart problems (lucky me) and I’ve had multiple doctors direct me to keep taking aspirin for as long as I want.

Since getting on TRT and messing with other AAS for the last 6 years, I feel it’s helped me with blood flow and thinning while taking some heavy ass cycles as well.

Here’s the medical logic behind it:

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 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 aspirin may impair portions of pathways known to be central to getting swole as fuck.

Baby aspirin seems to hit a sweet spot, where it inhibits platelet formation to reduce 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 premillennialism 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 baby 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.

Whats your BP and hematocrit levels at? Whats your age?

While on cycle I definitely run baby aspirin. But I have a family history of heart issues. I used to have elevated Lipid levels when not on cycle. Those are in check now, except when blasting. When blasting, I use Ezetimibe and Baby Aspirin to help lipids and to try and thin my blood.

Only thing I noticed was where it’s making your blood thinner. When you over strain on a lift you could start bleeding from your nose easily.
