Erythropoietin is a type of protein that is produced in the kidneys, and is responsible for stimulating red blood cell production. Epoetin alfa is the pharmaceutical form of erythropoietin, which was manufactured using recombinant DNA technology. The compound is produced from animal cells into which the gene coding for human erythropoietin has been inserted. The biological activity and structure of epoetin alfa are indistinguishable from that of human erythropoietin. This drug is used to treat many forms of anemia, effectively stimulating and maintaining erythropoietin in a large percentage of patients treated. EPO was developed by the biotechnologies firm Amgen, and was first intrduced to the U.S. market in 1984. The release of the drug was looked upon as a breakthrough in the treatment of anemia, which beforehand was being addressed mainly with agents that indirectly or nonspecifically targeted red cell production, such as oxymetholone, which may present a number of unwanted side effects to the patient.
As for its use in athletics, epoietin alpha offers endurance athletes an effective means by which they are able to elevate their red blood cell production and concentration in a relatively convenient and efficient manner. Prior to the development of synthetic erythropoietin many endurance athletes relied on a procedure often referred to as “blood doping”. This simply referred to the action of removing and then storing a quantity of blood from an individual, and then transfusing that same blood back into the individual prior to an athletic event. This procedure results in a greater number of circulating red blood cells for the individual due to the fact that the body will reproduce the volume of blood initially removed, and then the blood that was removed along with the requisite red blood cells are added back. Epoietin alpha offers these same advantages without the need for the transfusion and storing of the blood of the individual. Obviously administering epoietin alpha is by far a more efficient and convenient method for achieving these results. The reason that an increase in red blood cell count is so advantageous for endurance athletes is that red blood cells are responsible for delivering oxygen to muscle tissues. By having more of them available to fulfill this role, the blood of an athlete is far more efficient at delivering oxygen to muscles resulting in improvement in the endurance, strength and speed of an athlete. Therefore the use of epoietin alpha obviously helps an athlete in improving their various athletic responses, including oxygen uptake, exercise capacity and energy efficiency. For this reason, it should apparent why endurance athletes find this compound so beneficial.
Epoietin alpha can be administered using either intravenous or subcutaneous injections. The difference between the two methods is, not surprisingly, the rate at which the blood level of the compound peaks. When epoietin alpha is injected subcutaneously, blood levels of the compound will peak approximately twelve to eighteen hours after administration. Intravenous injections will peak rapidly after administration, due to the immediate entry of the drug into the blood stream. The half life of the drug is also greatly affected by the injection method used, with intravenous injections netting a half life of about four to five hours. As for the dosing that is required to see results, medically the usual protocol is usually to prescribed roughly 15-60ius per kilogram of bodyweight three to four times per week for the patient. At these levels, an athlete looking for performance enhancement should see improvement. However, anecdotally many athletes have reported simply using 1000ius per day for the weeks running up to a competition.


The benefits of this drug can be experenced by anone though. Running this compound at a dose of 500ius every day for 4-6 weeks would delivering oxygen to muscles resulting in improvement in the endurance, strength and speed. In short the supplement industry has N.O, superpump-250, and the steroid industry has Erythropoietin!


You will not get a very large boost to mental focus, or a huge blast of energy like you would with products like N2KTS but when it comes to (blood volum and pumps) This shit here is king of the hill.

Good read, but no mention of any of the dangers with epo use.

true.
only one i know of is super thick blood which could be life-threatening. Don't really know the levels to keep the hematocrit before it gets too viscous. I wouldnt recommend going much over 60% tho.
 
Don't remember exact values. Also, there's no real home test to rbc count like there is for blood glucose, making epo extremely dangerous.
I've had my mishaps with insulin and don't see epo in my (near) future.
 
Blondie, you have posted some really good stuff, but this one I have to disagree with.

This stuff has been used by cyclists for years now. AKA doping is what its called. Also if you google it a little more in depth, it has been a fatal drug for cyclists as well. With the increased RBC count and heart rates going off the charts during extreme endurance, it equals one thing...... Heart attack.

Now will the average marathon runner or cyclist ever get their beats per minute up to where a Tour de France competitors would be..... Probably not.

Use at your own risk, this stuff is deadly.

Btw Blondie, you still look great.
 
Still would like to know how much bwater to mix it with and how much to take if its like gh and you go up slow or just stay and the same?
 
Quad why do you want to use this? Are you a paid athlete? If not do not mess with this stuff. It can kill you. I would advise anyone who wants to use this, which is pointless for 99% of people, that you get tested for blood clotting disorders.

The majority of people who have one or more don't know they do and most to cause issue until 30-40 years old. EPO for anyone with a clotting disorder would result in blog clots, heart attack, stroke. Not good and IMO there is no reason to use this unless paid to and you have a medical team. I'm not saying it will kill anyone who uses it but out of all the shit we use I would put this up with insulin and I consider insulin much safer.

At the very least you are looking at a big increase in hematocrit and hemoglobin which equals heart working harder to pump thick blood.
 
And it's called Blood Doping not AKA Doping. Lol.

And technically blood doping was taking a pint of your own blood and storing it until the days before a race or whatever then adding that pint back in, greatly increasing the number of RBC. Then EPO became avaliable and was much easier to use.
 
Im not using it my buddy is. He liked it but last time he got it it was already mixed up and in the amount suppose to take. The new stuff is just in power like gh so just trying to find out how much bwater to put in and how much to take for him.

Sorry for the incorrect verbage USER. Won't happen again. But you know what I meant. But I agree with you totally, this shit is bad and should be avoided at all cost IMO.

Anyway USER, you seem pretty sharp keep up the solid info and education for the people of this forum.
 
ive been seriously thinking about building an altitude chamber lol i could charge people to come over and use it, couldn't be that hard to make.......................
 
Lol. Can't you just buy one that comes with a bag that you get into? I know I've seen portable ones and I'm sure they are charging a ton to use it.
 
lol maybe I dont know, I saw where the guy made one on bigger faster stronger, didnt look like too much to make.
