ive seen people people make $70-100 doing this pretty frequently and using it to pay for their blood work

Potential Benefits for Steroid Users Donating Blood:
1. Reduces Hematocrit and Blood Viscosity
- Anabolic steroids (like testosterone) can increase red blood cell count and hematocrit (thickness of the blood).
- High hematocrit levels raise the risk of high blood pressure, strokes, and blood clots.
- Regular blood donation helps reduce hematocrit levels, making blood less viscous, and potentially reducing cardiovascular risks.
2. Lowers Iron Stores (When Elevated)
- Some steroid users may have elevated iron due to increased red blood cell production.
- Blood donation helps to reduce iron overload, lowering oxidative stress and improving heart health.
3. Improved Cardiovascular Health
- As a result of lowered hematocrit and iron, blood donation may reduce the strain on the heart and vascular system.
- Could potentially reduce the risk of atherosclerosis or heart attack, especially in long-term AAS users.
4. Helps Manage Polycythemia
- Polycythemia is a condition involving excess red blood cells, common in users of steroids or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
- Therapeutic phlebotomy (essentially controlled blood donation) is sometimes prescribed to manage this condition.
5. Routine Health Checks
- Donation centers typically check blood pressure, hemoglobin, and sometimes perform other screening tests, which could offer early detection of issues.
