Title: Donating Plasma
Post by: notaprofessionaljustapro on May 24, 2019, 09:38:13 AM
Question that I have no idea about.

I have heard a lot of conflicting information.   Does donating plasma affect your T levels? I heard donating regular blood can increase testosterone levels in blood by removing donating blood increases testosterone levels in blood by removing iron-regulatory hormone; hepcidin, allowing for more iron to be used by your body from the foods you eat.

But does donating PLASMA removing the T from your body??

I literally donate plasma every month to pay for my HRT (circle of life yall) and I am not sure about this.
