Hey Gurus, how bad is Proviron on your cholesterol/lipid panel.

Can’t be good, but I know they prescribe it long term in some countries.

No idea -but could be dose depending. Never used it long term, only to "enhance" a cycle.
If you are not shy using cardarine, lipids is not a problem, no matter what you take.
Currently cruising after a s-drol/dmz cycle, using 5mg cardarine/d (and some fish oil) for 4 weeks. My bet: after that lipids are in optimal range.
 
Just curious. I never have a problem getting lipids back into range, I just like minimizing the amount of time they aren’t. I won’t use long term, I throw it in when on cycle as well. I just have heard mixed opinions on how bad it hits your cholesterol. I don’t want to run it for the entire cycle if it is significant.

Thanks for input.

If you get bloods done after that, please let us know.

There are some labs after cardarine on here somewhere.
To confuse you a bit:
Tony Huge said in one video:
(Paraphrasing) "On cycle HDL cholesterol molecules get bigger and are not detected by labs, hence supposedly low."

I tried to find out if this is true, had no luck -but if true, lipids on cycle never were a problem to begin with.

Well he is a Dr....

That’s actually really interesting. Not sure I’m sold on it, but I’m gonna look into it.

He is no MD -and I spent about 2 entire nights in finding the said video -or any corroborating info on it.

* He was saying that size of HDL and # matters. Let me just say... I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS CORRECT OR NOT. But apparently they can test for size of HDL molecules.

Here's a video...

Sounds like he was saying you either needed a lot of HDL molecules or Big HDL molecules. And the fact that the HDL count is low doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, because you could
Have bigger molecules. You want one or the other. That was my take on it.

Yeah, that's how I took it too.
But that is the first time I've ever heard that, by anyone. Which is odd, because I've been living this lifestyle/studying this for a lot of years. ... And, HDL/LDL is a big health topic in the general population, as well.
So right now for me, this is just his opinion.
 
HDL and LDL only reflect what’s happening to the cholesterol population of the blood though. If the actual cholesterol itself was low, wouldn’t HDL be low as well, since that’s meant to take it away?

This is of course meaning in the absence of elevated LDL.

My lipids test always has the hdl to ldl ratio as a separate line item. That should represent this.
