Empagliflozin
Empagliflozin is a drug that is commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes by lowering blood glucose levels. However, it has also been shown to have kidney-protective effects that can benefit bodybuilders who are using anabolic steroids. Empagliflozin works by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, which reduces the workload on the kidneys and can help to prevent damage.
Studies have shown that Empagliflozin can reduce albuminuria (the presence of protein in the urine) in patients with diabetes and kidney disease. This reduction in albuminuria can help to protect the kidneys from damage and preserve their function. In addition, Empagliflozin has been shown to reduce blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health, which can also benefit bodybuilders who are using anabolic steroids.
While the optimal dosage of Empagliflozin for bodybuilders is not well-established, typical doses range from 5-25mg per day. It is important to note that Empagliflozin can have side effects, such as increased risk of urinary tract infections and dehydration.
