Blood Donations

Off Topic

The local masonic lodge holds a quarterly blood drive benefiting the Scottish Rite Hospital in Fort Worth and I usually donate. The drive is today and I’m headed up there later but am wondering if anybody knows whether or not supplements could endanger a patient?

I recently finished animal stak 2 and wonder if there is any possibility of toxicity that could transfer? I also take lipo 6 for energy before going to the gym. I took it this morning and don’t want to potentially add anything to a patient that may interact with what ever meds a doc is giving.

Anyways, any input would be great. I intend to bring a bottle for the nurses to examine too.

When I tried to donate, I couldn’t because of a sidebar which states that “You may not give blood if you have ever used any bodybuilding type drugs”.

Now whether this includes things like creatine, I doubt since it is more of a supplement than a drug, but what about the animal stack? If you list the ingredients we might be able to advise.

Well, I think the body building drugs they are referring to are anabolic steroids more because of the needle use than the drugs themselves.

Your blood would be better donated elsewhere.
