how to combat water retention?

[Venus of Milo]

Hi girls,

Despite running for 30 mins every day and working out, I'm having a darn problem with water retention from using testosterone.

Anyone know a solution? (besides quitting the test!)

Any input is appreciated!

U should proalby list how much your taking and soem stats..

Sometimes what works for one for less water retention.. doesn't work for another..

Hi Cutie,

I'm applying 2.5 grams of Andractim gel (containing DHT -androstanolone-) per day.

i know frisky takes dandelion root for water rentention..

I actually bought some the other day.. so not sure how well that works..

There r also pills you can buy from health food stores.. water tight and water shed.. ( a few more brands) - I don't really like these

The only pills that have ever worked for me are prescription.. and i beleive they r high blood pressure pills.. even though i dont have high blood pressure, when i used to have water renention they worked like a charm - hydrochloorothiazide 25mg - 1/2 pill a day

Yep.. I take Dandelion root and Vitamin C.. also upped my Fluid intake and seems its helped a bit. My sodium is high right now which I am sure leads to some retention but that will be dropped closer to comp date.

If you are on Test, you might just bloat no matter what. Until you go off, that is.

Until then, keep salt intake low, potatssium intake moderate, DRINK WATER. I would try for about 2 gallons a day if you are having problems with bloat. But watch for electrolyte imbalances - esp if salt is low.

OTC things such as Dandelion Root, Taraxatone, etc are good for SHORTER term things, but I wouldn't take everyday.

Hi girls,

Thanks for all the tips!

Yesterday I bought the Dandelion Root and some fennel tea and lo and behold, mij weight was down by a pound and a half this morning!

I'll definitely will guzzle up all the water I can.

Besides that, I've lowered the t-dossage by half. See if that works.

Keep pumping strong!
