I refuse to donate based off thick blood. It does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me. Unless I was to donate every week, it will just return to where it was. Here is my protocol that takes me from a hematocrit in the high 50's (57-58)  and hemoglobin over 20 to around a 51 and 17 in about 60 days.

2000 mg of citrus bergamot am/pm
4000 fu nattokinaise am/pm
Cut out all vitamin C supplementation. Only vitamin C from food.
Cut out all red meat and other high iron foods (cereal grains).
Stop using cast iron for cooking.
Switch TRT from 100 mg 2x a week to 20 mg a day.

I have used this for clients as well and had similar results.

I've heard someone else mention this.

I gave blood week before last and 3 days later tried to spar. Gassed out like I have not gassed in years. I am always high normal with my hematocrit. I went through a phase where I cooked with cast iron and it went up. that is all I can think.
