As you know, many athletes are tested for this performance enhancing substance. What do you know about it's side effects, metabolism, and overall health value? Is the optimal amount really achieved by a high metabolism, or is supplementation inherently beneficial?

I guess this would rarely be supplemented with by the Peat crowd...

Seems this threads been quiet for awhile but I'm intrigued by EPO myself as well.


That article says that injecting exogenous recombinant human EPO lowers renin, angiotensin and aldosterone which would make it peat friendly.

A major downside though is that since it's exogenous you're body will down-regulate it's own EPO production which leads to reduced eGFR.
