What is Lisinopril
Lisinopril is a blood pressure control medication. This ACE inhibitor is primarily used to treat high BP by relaxing blood vessels.
While most of the user base for Lisinopril has no interest in bodybuilding, for you — it’s an essential BP aid that will save you from nosebleeds and nausea when anabolic steroids (primarily orals like Winstrol or Dianabol) start pushing your blood pressure to the upper limit.
Lisinopril is an effective, affordable, and safe — as approved by both the FDA and Health Canada — medication.
How Does Lisinopril Work
After oral administration, Lisinopril is absorbed and converted into active metabolite, which inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme (aka ACE) in such a way that the formation of angiotensin II (a blood vessel constricting hormone) is reduced.
The reduction of angiotensin II helps in dilation of blood vessels, thus reducing blood pressure.
This process is happening at the same time with reduction of secretion of aldosterone, which reduces fluid retention and stabilizes cardiovascular function.
Lisinopril Effects and Benefits
Some of Lisinopril’s benefits include maintenance of healthy blood pressure by expansion of blood vessels and lowering fluid retention:
- Protecting cardiovascular health;
- Decreasing the production of angiotensin II;
- Limited excess fluid retention;
- BP Relief during heavy steroid cycles;
- Improved kidney function (with hypertension);
- Effective and well-tolerated by the vast majority of athletes;
- Simple once-daily dosage;
- Improved circulation and lowered strain on the heart health.
Lisinopril is a go-to option for those needing consistent and gentle blood pressure control. In addition, several studies now explore whether Lisinopril can be helpful for rare insomnia, particularly when there are tight recuperation adjustments.
How to Take Lisinopril on Cycle
It is recommended to take a pill a day with a dose of 10mg.
Consider starting at 5mg for those who have low blood pressure so as to not cause an aggressive reduction of it, especially in conjunction with HCTZ.
- Cycle Length: there is no set end date; Lisinopril can be taken for a long period of time to help with chronic hypertension;
- Recommendations: check blood pressure at a minimum once a day, especially in the first month.
Achieve the greatest effect by drinking enough fluid (water) during the day and avoiding excessive salt.
