So far the cheapest (most mg per euro) D and K2 sources I've found are
Sunday Natural MCT oil D3 5000IU 1000 drop dropper (500 000IU per euro)
and
Life Extension mega vitamin K2 from iherb (50mg per eur)

For comparison Lark is 34mg/€ for the 250 dollar one
Idealabs Kuinone 24mg/€
Idealabs Calcirol (D3) is 9600IU/€

@SuziQ
It recommends external use for legal reasons as it is a cosmetic product. I would suggest you to read carefully all the comments on the energin thread on the ray peat forum. I have used it a few times but I'm not sure I felt much from it when I used it topically, so I use it orally diluted in orange juice to avoid the garlic taste. I really like Energin as it makes me feel very focused and very calm! You need to take it on a full stomach as it makes you very hungry. You might want to take a half dose at the beginning and see how you feel. Hope it helps!

@Mauritio yes, I got like 13 boxes of doxycycline from an online prescription service for malaria prevention, in the EU for a total of less than 50 euro.

@jamezb46 Interesting thank you.

"The 17b-hy- droxy-2-oxaestra-4,9(10)-dien-3-one analog
(III) showed a similar large increase in myo- trophic activity and enhancement of androgenic potency. The 17a-methyl-2-oxa analog (IV) was by far the most potent compound tested in this series, being 550 times as myotrophic and, de- pending on the response organ studied, 22 or 47 times as androgenic as 17a-methyltestosterone."

So my interpretation is that assuming the non-17 alkylated 2-oxa trenbolone has a much lower bioavailability and half life than 17a-methyl testosterone, these results are astonishing, as it can achieve the same androgenic and myotrophic effects despite being poorly absorbed and heavily metabolised by the liver.

And when it is given the same bioavailability and half life as methyl testosterone, via the addition of the methyl group on position 17, it is of course, insane.

Have you got any thoughts on 2-oxa steroids such as anavar? What does replacing the carbon atom with the oxygen atom do?

@samson Why would you need more dietary cholesterol? If anything supplementing with an end-point androgen would initiate feedback loops leading to less steroidogenesis, thus lowering the dietary requirement for cholesterol, right?

Or maybe you're referring to the fact that androsterone is a thyroid mimetic, thus increasing metabolism in steroid-producing organs, thus leading to a higher requirement of dietary cholesterol?

Perhaps you would need more cholesterol because androsterone or its metabolites, being 5AR androgens, stimulate their own synthesis, thus increasing the need for dietary cholesterol to fuel the enhanced steroidogenesis?

I don't know which possibility is correct, but if you know which is correct, please enlighten us.

@SLK I think IdeaLabs sells holographic patches? Maybe the life giving store? Are you interested in doing a group buy for these patches ?

Ratio mercury / selenium in fish

We should have less Hg (mercury) than Se. Maximum ratio 1.
I’d avoid fish predator as Haddock, sea bream, halibut and specifically tuna. Never more than once a week when eating a predator.
Tuna ratio is 331/36. It depends on the species too. Therefore, it's highly toxic. Expressed in ppm per 100g of fish, this gives a ratio of 9.2. But in canned fish, this ratio is closer to 2/1 or 1/1 (extracted oil), I think.

Same, but drop down the menu on the link and bring back the table, which you will divide into 2, for easier reading.
Highlight:
Canned tuna contains much less fat than fresh tuna (used for other purposes, such as omega-3s). There's not really a problem because mercury is mainly found in the fat. (This tuna is therefore acceptable once a week, except for pregnant women and children, contrary to what you might usually read.) Obviously, we'll favor the least polluted sources...
Please keep an eye on Se and Mg (antagonists of mercury)!

Amazon has the Contec branded capnograph. It is sold in Asia as not limited to pet use, but in the US it is sold as a pet device.

Contec makes many other good medical devices, but this is its first capnograph afaik. I haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it.

It's likely you'll have to go solo figuring out how to make good use of it in the bioenergetic space. It's worth a shot if it can help you monitor your metabolic condition.

I'm not in a hurry to get one as I have one device I bought 3 years ago and haven't begun using.

@gryffydd Thnx! Was nibbling on it as if it were but quite reassuring to know that Thanks again

@eduardo-crispino pics or it didn’t happen lol

@Corngold said in Manuka honey?:

@DavidPS
Your post is interesting. I'm sure real raw honey is full of better stuff which is why I'm still skeptical of store bought.

Yes, I agree. Caveat emptor.

For years, local suppliers of honey at farmer's markets have been feeding their bees with trays of sugar water to increase honey production. The result is honey, but it is not the same as the honey that the bees make from nectar. I wonder if the most recent trend would be to use GMO high fructose corn syrup to make the sugar water for the bees. It is all about increasing profitability.

Can Bees Make Honey From Sugar Water?

I use Dr. Bronners to shave my face. Im pretty careful with cosmetic products and soaps bc of acne, and whenever I use some stearic acid or tallow i always breakout.
Bronners works well though.

@sushi_is_cringe OK
