Diuretics ???

[bigbenj]

Anyone have experience with them?
Was just checking them out, but don't know much about whats good to take, and how to take.

Any help is appreciated. I'm just curious.

I take them for blood pressure, piss all the time, don't take them at night or you will piss all night and catch no ZZZ's

 

[bigbenj]

Is that the main purpose of them, to help you dry by eliminating a lot of water?
Also, how do they make you feel physically?

No need to take them unless by a Dr or depleting for a show. I've used them. It's best achieve the same goal with dandelion root or OTC burner- if needed?

 

[bigbenj]

I'm just curious as to what they could do for me in a couple of weeks, at the end of this diet.

Not sure how effective it is unless you're silly lean.

 

[ctr10]

just eliminates water weight, I really don't feel any different, just piss 10X a day

If it won't do anything for me, physique wise, at this size and bodyfat, I won't even worry about it.

Just looking for input.

Good choice. Lasix (loop-diuretics/potassium-wasting) are harsh on the body. They make you piss a lot, but they have no mercy on electrolytes especially potassium.

Either way (and this is my own opinion) unless you are hella lean and/or competing, it isn't worth it. Most of the time any water weight you lose, you will gain right back.

Im taking saw palmetto which is a natural diuretic and Im pissing literally every hour. Also I think I recall it being a natural dht blocker.

You can get fucked up pretty good off those. There very dangerous.

No one should use it unless ur competing bro. Even then unless ur national level don't fuck with diazide or lasix not worth the health risk. Seen fools get rushed to the hospital from dehydration. If you want a diuretic that's mild and works try expel from MHP. Great product!!

 

[bigbenj]

Thanks for the input, boys.
No diuretics for this guy!

Yes, exactly what they do.

I've only used them to peak for a certain day/event.

I never felt any different on them, but at that point in the diet you'll feel like sh*t anyhow so it doesn't really matter.

Diuretics are probably what ultimately killed Andreas Munzer. Be wary.

 

[bigbenj]

I've wrote it off. Just from these couple of posts, I can see that it wouldn't be very beneficial to me, and I could also expel most of the water I need through the winny I have on hand.

Diuretics are what killed him. His blood was probably thick as syrup. Plus the use of EPO didn't help. He was traveling a lot on planes so the drop in pressure probably fucked up his shit.

Just manipulate your water intake, carb load and adjust your sodium. You'll be suprised at how well it can work.

for preventing water retention I usually run all my aas cutting cycles with vitamin C 500mg x 4 daily, I do this for about 2 weeks then stop a day out and it does work quite well.

His blood was too thin. They had to operate on him and his blood wouldn't aww fuck I forgot the word when ur body tries to stop itself from bleeding lol. Anyways he bled out on the operating table. Sad...

The only dieretic I have any personal knowledge of is aldactone and I have used it.
It's potassium sparing and at 100mgs per day I just had to piss all the time.
I have never been down in the low digits on BF% so honestly I dont know how well they really worked.
Vibrant, I take saw palmetto myself but for prostate health and had no idea that it was a natural dieretic. Learn something every day, eh?

 

[tinyshrek]

Ya man saw palmetto and dandelion

Coagulation? Homeostasis? So basically Munzer bled out because his clotting time (factor) was too long.

Shitty way to die though...
