You can donate a pint of blood every 56 days (or something like that). It is good to do because it lowers your hematocrit which exogenous testosterone raises. It helps save lives too.
So will giving plasma be just as good as going and giving whole blood?
I don't know. Are you looking to get paid for your plasma?
No....its just i got a tattoo recently and red cross wont allow me to give blood there for a whole year...so i noticed a plasma center down the street and was wondering if it would be a good substitute
Dam...not comfortable with that at all...plus i got the wife and kids always around...barley can get the 5 minutes alone to get my supplements in.

Right on my brothas.....thanks for the knowledge...i fucked up one time and told them i had just got a tattoo and so they wrote it in my personal file...so im screwed there...but good info on the platletes/plasma....much appreciation..thanks againOk so answers, here ya go...
Plasma or platelet donation WILL NOT lower your Hematocrit. Plasma/platelet donation excludes red cells and gives them back to you with a lower blood volume, ie higher concentration of red blood cells now. Sometimes with platelet donation they will give you some saline back, but it doesn't equal the volume you just lost.
Red Cross does not routinely screen for hormone levels in the blood they distribute. Besides they are mostly after the red cells in your whole blood and after they spin the blood down, wash the red cells to reduce white cells with them, they concentrated them for administration( ie leukopoor reduced packed red blood cells, LP PRBC's).
Lie and give, your tattoo artist was less likely to infect you than the guy who just fucked a Trannie and donated his cells.
Please give the bounty of your supplementation to help others. It helps and we need the blood.
