Anabolic Steroids & High Hematocrit

Hematocrit is the measure of the proportion of red blood cells in your blood. With more red blood cells, your blood becomes thicker and can carry more oxygen. While this might help athletes perform better for a short time, it also makes your blood flow slower and increases the risk of blood clots, heart attacks, or strokes. This post will explore the implications of elevated hematocrit levels and discuss potential strategies to mitigate these risks.
