EPLERENONE:
What causes bloating?
Bloating or water retention is caused by the balance of sodium potassium and magnesium. These are all regulated by aldosterone and vasopressin, For this guide we will focus on aldosterone.
What is aldosterone and its effects?
Aldosterone is a naturally recurring hormone that signals your body to retain sodium in kidneys and dump potassium into urine which is the exact opposite of what we want. Effects of aldosterone being presently high are persistent water retention, minimal urination, high blood pressure.
What is eplerenone?
Eplerenone is a selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (a form of potassium sparring diuretic) it works by reducing the affect aldosterone has in the kidneys. This causes your body to hold less water by flushing out sodium. Effects are cumulative and persistent while on eplerenone (you will be debloated 24/7 basically no more morning puffiness).
Dosage and timing
Recommended time to take eplerenone is early in the morning just after waking as that is when aldosterone is at its peak. However some studies do show that there is no difference in timing. see below
Clinical doses are most effective at 100mg which is close to fully blocking out receptors this is for the strongest possible receptor blockage. Personally 50mg is the bare minimum to see effects and it would take about 1-2 weeks to start noticing.
Side notes (IMPORTANT !!!):
Eplerenone can cause hyperkalemia which is when potassium levels are elevated in blood due to reduced excretion. Effects of hyperkalemia include; fatigue/numbness, nausea, palpitations, irregular heart rhythm. This will most likely happen on prolonged doses above 100mg very rarely happen on 50mg however must be accounted for.
Eplerenone can also be used to treat acne as it shows signs of mild anti-androgen activity effects are modest more of a bonus inferior to spironolactone.
Lab monitoring can be important but to be fair only useful on doses past 100mg and its a waste of effort.
Where to buy?
Personally, I had purchased via indiamart. Eplerenone is more expensive than other diuretics such as spironolactone however it is much more selective and does not disrupt any hormones which is significant in development. note: aside from renin angiotensen and aldosterone (increases aldosterone but lowers its usage strange) no meaningful effect on development safe to use
TL;DR
Eplerenone = debloat (please read the top though)
if it doesnt work youre just fat ngl
