Is it safe to donate blood while taking AAS?
Many claim that it’s a good idea to donate blood while taking certain compounds (especially boldenone), since they can thicken your blood, increase blood pressure, make you reach unhealthy levels of erythropoietin (EPO) and a whole range of health issues.
EPO stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, and these cells contain hemoglobin. When hemoglobin levels reach about 11 to 12g/dL of blood, risks include heart attack, stroke, venous thromboembolism and even death.
One way to avoid high EPO levels is by donating blood, which is a simple way of diluting your blood, even though all official agencies will tell you not to if you have injected yourself recently (or ever in some cases). But is it really unsafe?
First of all, donated blood goes through extensive testing before it is ever put to use, so if anything is wrong with it, it will probably be discarded.
Morally, you will be technically doping the receiver, so there’s that, especially if we’re talking about synthetic compounds (which obviously don’t occur naturally in the body).
In practical terms, however, the amount of transferred hormone is almost insignificant (say your current blood testosterone level is 10.000ng/dL and you donate 500mL, that’s 0.05mg of testosterone going to the receiver, which is pretty close to nothing, no matter the age or sex).
