Veiny? Low progesterone / High estrogen. Pretty sure that is what Peat has said.

There is a big difference between varicocele (unhealthy veins) and being healthily vascular (something that all physically hard working men are, especially in their arms).

Is 100mg of nitrates from Beetroot a typo? That's a lot of Beetroot, even if it's an extract. Beetroot only contains about 0.5-1% nitrates

Great informative post as always Hans.

That is an oversimplification. Appropiate amounts of vasodilation has benefits and is necessary. Increased vascularity is more common in men is related to androgens but in general vasodilation is important for blood flow to muscles which affect exercise performance and recovery as well as sexual function and cardiovascular health.

Do you mean vascularity or do you mean varicose veins or spider veins?
I mean veins on arms like bodybuilders have. I used to go to gym before. I have always been pretty vascular.
I don't want to look like a dockworker :)

I am not into health and fitness speak. I am on the Ray Peat Forum, hence offering what Peat has said. Thank you.

Whenever I soak in a tub full of epson salt I always get out with some pretty crazy vascularity. So I think magnesium definitely helps.

Ray said that high estrogen relaxes (or weakens?) the vein tissue, causing them to protrude and be more visible. Not sure why anyone would want this ...

DHT enhances vascularity, which is not estrogen driven. There is a difference between looking jacked, lean and vascular and an old individual who doesn't lift and has bulging veins. Huge difference.

How much Epsom do you add per bath?

Do you also avoid getting tan? It's funny that back in the 60s (I think) people wanted to look thin and pale because that represented being rich while tan and jacked were associated with blue-collar jobs and poverty.

Vascularity is a sign aged person.
But young people often want to look mature. Well...Let them!
