I remember some studies being posted here showing aspirin lowered testosterone as well as sperm count. There are also other studies showing testosterone rising from aspirin use.

I used to take 650mg of aspirin a day fairly regularly but have since limited it to only when I have a headache. Also, we did have two kids during the time I was taking aspirin regularly and my sperm count/quality was well above average so maybe the studies showing negative effects should be taken with a grain of salt.

There's also the issue of increasing chances of internal bleeding and vitamin K deficiency.

I think you should only take that high amount of aspirin if you have an extreme case of cancer, but even then I‘d rather use other safer substances that are therapeutic.

I am pretty sure you run into problems with that high dosage. What do you want to achieve with 5 grams of aspirin?

I think those studies are over-dosing the intake, similarly to other studies showing that aspirin "majorly irritates" the gut.

There shouldn't be a reason why aspirin would reduce sperm count. It should actually do the opposite if you're consuming enough fructose and vitamins.

Right. In my case I was fine however 5g seems like it might fall into the overdosing range.

Aspirin is one of the few substances I have ever taken as a supplement that I can "feel". It regularly puts me in a calm, relaxed, warm and cozy state. That's why even in cases of a headache, I only ever take it before bed... It's amazing for sleep in my experience as well.

For 2-3 consecutive days I tried dosages above 1-2 Tabs and its too much for me. Light headed-ness and sense of impending doom : ]
Quality product, Evenly dosed, good food intake, it didn't seem to matter. Could be my Low Cholesterol issue? I dunno.

5 GRAMS in a day, would put me under the table.

I‘d rather use things like high dose thiamin, niacinamide, biotin, magnesium + supplemental foods like coffee, red meat, occasional beef liver, salt, fruits.
There are less side effects with those in my opinion.

I used 5 to 6.5 grams of aspirin a day with baking soda. It made me really creative when I was doing that. My bones ached a little bit but it went a way in a week or so.

When I was doing high dose aspirin I started getting this feeling like I couldn't breathe (more like my body wasn't getting the oxygen from breathing). After a while I made the connection, and after some googling I found out about "aspirin induced respiratory disease". I reduced my aspirin intake and the feeling went away.

That's simular to dnp. It could help you lose weight but I would take less aspirin and be able to breathe. I'm taking 3.25 grams of aspirin and 400 mg of caffeine. I just don't want to lower estrogen too much.
