I gotta try some of this stuff. My eGFR is always all over the place because my doctor still uses creatinine. By creatinine will be 1.6 one test and 1.1 the next. Yet my doctor still says I have kidney disease and knows kidneys can’t heal themselves. Lmao. But still even 1.1 bothers me tbh. I don’t run crazy cycles anymore. And last one was 1.6. And that was after about 2 month on just trt. I stopped taking all my supplements for the most part. Stopped taking Astragalus which I think was helping. But is it just hiding the numbers? Sounds like this stuff is actually healing maybe? Have any of you guys seen better numbers stay after stopping it?

The 1.1 creatinine was over a year ago when I had takin 6 month off the gym. I was definitely taking some gear that had EO in it for awhile when I started back. Probably stayed on too long. But wasn’t crazy high doses. I’ve been wondering if EO or who knows what other solvents isn’t good for kidneys?

The only people who should EVER look at creatinine for kidney health are people with very little muscle mass. I can do nothing and still read a 1.5, because I have a FFMI of over 30. Even if I had the best kidney function in the world it wouldn't be able to filter all the creatinine my muscles produce from NEAT alone.

Same here, 1.5 is my norm. I have blood work that dates back decades and the lowest I have been was 1.35 and as high as 1.6
About 10-15 years ago my GP said he wanted to me to see a nephrologist just in case. Three visits, two different 24 hr urine test that came back around the 1.5 mark with a conclusion that I'm fine.
My first conversation with the nephrologist was, "Why is the range for women lower than men?" (Knowing the answer) He said because men have more muscle mass and creatinine is a by-product of muscle metabolism. "Well if I'm carrying a fair amount more muscle than the average guy, wouldn't you expect it to be higher? His reply was, probably.
I do think you should always have it checked and pay attention to your creatinine levels. It's not so much the number itself but the tracking of the number if it starts to slowly increase. If you're seeing an increase, it's time for a better look.

Would be very interested to see 5mg of this sent to Jano for testing. Would be interested in knowing whether it's legit and it's purity. If legit and pure, this is a good deal. The challenge would be in getting it properly mixed for caps. 500mcg is a very small amount, and without an extremely homogeneous mixture, you'd have one tab severely underdosed and another overdosed. A commercial V-mixer might be necessary.
