*I've actually been told by a med grad that its awesome for you. Stimulates new blood and bone marrow developement which increases nutrient delivery. But I have never seen anything to back this up.

You're always turning blood cells over and producing new ones.
In a survival / evolution sense, there's no benefit to letting go of something that keeps you alive.
But the effects are fairly short lived and include a decreased ability to transport oxygen around the body (so decreased cardiovascular performance and decreased recovery within muscle tissue), decreased blood volume - which can lead to a difficulty in maintaining blood pressure under extreme circumstances, like doing a high rep workout.
You'll mostly have negated the effects within 2 - 3 days, and completely within 7 - 10 days. I wouldn't run a marathon within a week of giving blood.

what he said ^
Was listening to the radio and they were talking about bone marrow donation. I knew and still know little about it but I think they were saying you get multiple injections of a chemical that causes your bodies bone marrow cells to run through your blood? Then they take your blood. Sounded pretty harsh on the body but I may have miss understood.

Thanks guys, Im not too fussed about it as its for a bloody good cause however its something I have wondered every time I have donated and nobody at the donation place ever seems to have an answer apart from telling me the iron levels take about 7 weeks or so to return to normal.
