(If you are taking an ECA) Kronkette had the same prob while on ECA. Take 1-3grams of vitamin C and make sure you are getting 25-27mg of iron a day. This should stop it. If your multi vit has vit C in it, equal to that, dont take more. Drink a LOT of water as well. And as a warning the extra iron can constipate you.

Listen to Spatts she knows her stuff. Peace.

actually..im not sure what any of those are... ECA??.. i am not taking anything other than vitamins now..(i had taken clenbuterol for a few days but got such severe headaches that i stopped)... i am doing it for weight loss.. along with a good diet,,, (the body for life thing)... and just freaked out when i saw the bruises... i am also drinking about 2 protein shakes a day i was told that would help.

usually for breakfast ill have some egg betaers.. a piecoe of whole wheat toast (or oatmeal).. and some fruit.. then a protein shake.. then lunch is usually lean ham.. or turkey breast.. strawberries or melon.. and a vegetable.. snack is protein shake.. dinner is tuna (or orange roughy).. melon or rice.. and a veggie. (green).. and a protein shake or some cucumbers for snack...

and also lots of water

Wendy,

I had the same exact problem when i started working out (weights) I was very concerned because they were all over my legs! You should take a multi vitamin and add C to your vitamin intake also.

Most likely you need more K in your diet, spatts is right lotsa lotsa GREEN veggies will help. But for now, go to the store get some Vitamin K lotion and rub a liberal amount on the bruises till they go away.

If you can, get a perscription for Vitamin K and take pills if you want. For now, until you get the vegitible routine down.

Have you lost alot of weight? Some times, when you loose an exsessive amount of weight, this can happen.

It won't take over night, but with the vitamins and alot more green veggies you should be ok.
