EPO (Erythropoietin)

Quick info about EPO (Erythropoietin)

EPO is a glycoprotein that regulates red cell (RBC) production. In the human, EPO is produced by the kidneys of the adult and by hepatocytes in the fetus. EPO, when taken exogenously, increases RBC in the blood. This will basically raise your energy levels, and thus will improve recovery, etc. Anadrol was developed for a very similar purpose as EPO, and a lot of the muscle enhancing effects/potency of A50 (increased muscle fullness, etc.) can be attributed to many of the same mechanisms which are at work in it.

It's worth noting that EPO also increases protein synthesis, just like A50. Primarily, though, its effect is to increase RBCs. Recommended dosage is to get about 8,000-10,000IU/wk for 2 weeks. You take it all at once over 2 weeks (maybe a little over 1,000IU or so per day for 14 days) and you're done. Then, sometime in week 3, you'll start feeling the results, which will last for 3-6 months!
