Help! Having liver pain from Osta
I replied here a few months ago and said you can't feel liver pain, but now I'm a week and a half into an ostarine cycle myself and am getting something similar. Tightness/discomfort in the liver area, just on my right side, seems to get stronger if I tense my abs or stretch, or take a deep... -
Need a new slow release protein
That's a nice picture but what is it? I thought micellar was a casein thing, like "micellar casein" vs "calcium caseinate".- aoeu

Picked up some PES Select snickerdoodle at Orbit with the promo. The price was way better than at Amazon...- aoeu

Need a new slow release protein
Wow, lots of good suggestions here. I guess by "slow release" I meant "blend". Just looking for something that won't be in and out within a few minutes like whey. You guys are right though, it's not as complex as I'm making it. I'll just find a generic whey/casein blend and mix it with plasma...- aoeu

Need a new slow release protein
Looks like my usual slow release protein, Monster V, is out of stock at the protein factory. What are some good ones you guys are using?- aoeu

BPC 157 -- anybody tried the healing peptide?
Went to the PRP specialist and he thinks I might have a rotator cuff tear, so instead he ordered a second MRI, this time with contrast. Now it's back to the waiting game again. If this MRI comes back positive I'm going in for surgery. -
Ostashred Cycle
12.5mg every 12 hours. When people say 25mg a day they are talking about a daily intake of 25mg. Not the total levels that have accumulated in your system over time. -
Ostashred Cycle
No worries, that's why we have forums to discuss all the stuff we read everywhere :) That's not how half lives work. A 24 hour half life means that 24 hours later, half will be gone. You take 25mg, and 24 hours later you have 12.5 left. The steady state is the point where you have the same... -
Ostashred Cycle
That's what I think I'll do on my Osta cycle. It's what you should do if stable levels are your goal. I can't say I know all the reasons why people think stable is best. On the other hand, I suppose there may also be advantages to peaking your levels around a workout at the expense of lower... -
Ostashred Cycle
This logic isn't quite right. With a half life of 24 hours, if you only dose once a day, your levels will fluctuate by 50%. Say you start dosing 25 mg once a day. You'll approach steady state around a week or so. Then, every morning before your dose, you will have nearly 25mg kicking around... -
BPC 157 -- anybody tried the healing peptide?
Very much appreciate all the feedback guys. I've made up my mind to use this bottle of Ostarine I have instead of the BPC157. I also set up an appointment with a PRP specialist next week and will seriously consider jump starting my Osta cycle with a shot of PRP. I'll report back when all is said... -

What does it mean for collagen to lay down in a pathologic fashion? (I did try and Google this) -
BPC 157 -- anybody tried the healing peptide?
Did it stay healed after the osta? Or go back to normal when you got off? Why did you run osta with a shoulder injury? Was it to try and fix the joint or was your tendinitis not bad enough to prevent you from working out? Do you feel like the osta was suppressive enough that you had to wait for... -
BPC 157 -- anybody tried the healing peptide?
I always hear mixed opinions on cortisone. Do you feel it helped speed your recovery? Some say it just masks the pain, some say it's detrimental because the inflammation helps heal the joint, and others say it helps recovery by breaking the cycle of inflammation... -
BPC 157 -- anybody tried the healing peptide?
I have Ostarine on the shelf, actually. Do you think that would be worth it? I'd really rather not suppress my HPTA and not get gains to show for it. What would an Osta protocol look like for joint rehab? Is it effective? The fish oil is not a bad idea. I've been running about 7 grams/day...
