What is Erythropoietin (EPO)?
Research compound aggregated from creator and literature mentions. No direct disease-treatment claims are made on this page.
Experts on background and overview · 5 cited mentions
"41% used ariththropoetin. Now the prescription dosages for ariththropoetin is 150 IU per 1 kilogram of body weight, subq three times per week during chemotherapy. For chronic kidney disease, it's up to 100 IUs per 1 kilogram of body weight three times a week, and anemia from surgery is 300 IUs per 1 kilogram of..."
"You want to do a medical dosage for EPO post surgery? Well, then the minimum growth hormone is 4 mg"
"No, I don't think so. That's why we'd rather leverage things like EPO, myionosal, tripower phosphate, cardine, IICAR, all the metabolic modulators, but none of those are FDA approved medications."

| Speaker | Source | Timestamp | Protocol | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vigorous Steve | (Not Really) Enhanced Games REVIEW! Point Proven, Or Major Flop?... | 00:21:50 | Steve reports prescription dosing in clinical settings as: 150 IU/kg subcutaneous 3x/week for chemo-induced anemia; up to 100 IU/kg 3x/week for CKD; and 300 IU/kg subcutaneous for 10 days pre-surgery, day of surgery, and 4 days post-surgery for surgical anemia (anecdotal, source Y3m1_BFWXRk). Educational reference only - not medical advice. | anecdotal |
| Steve/Dean | Designing Steroid Cycles For Enhanced Games Athletes: Swimming,... | 01:52:11 | Steve/Dean reported a protocol involving EPO microdosing while monitoring hematocrit, CAC score, hydration, and blood pressure, rather than using standard medical-textbook doses. | anecdotal |
| Vigorous Steve | Designing Steroid Cycles For Enhanced Games Athletes: Swimming,... | 01:51:22 | Microdose EPO; do not follow medical-literature dosing. Monitor hematocrit (target ~56-60% danger zone), CT/MRI for CAC, hydration, BP, fish oil for blood viscosity | anecdotal |
| VS | The Stigma Around Steroid Use And The Limitations Of The Enhanced Games | 00:03:19 | Anemia from surgery: 300 IUs per 1 kg of body weight, subq starting 10 days before surgery, day of surgery, then four consecutive days post-surgery | anecdotal |
| Steve/Kurt | Designing Steroid Cycles For Enhanced Games Athletes: Swimming,... | 01:52:27 | Microdose EPO - do NOT use medical textbook dosages; combine with monitoring (CT/MRI for CAC score), hydration, blood pressure control, fish oil | anecdotal |
