I made some homeade Progest-E with the ePothex powder from Amazon and the Everday Beatuty D-Alpha Tocopheral, and small amount of added coconut oil, all in accordance with Dr. Peats patent. It works great and is cetainly a bit of a different feel from the Kenogen product. So maybe your issue was with the quality of the vit E or progesterone powder, or there was some error in the heating and mixing process. I think the patent calls for specific ratios and that you can only use pure D-Alpha Tocopheral or Mixed tocopherols. SuchLabs has since shut down now and im not sure why but maybe you just got a junk product.

@b1 Probably. Get a blood test.

@pannacottas the carrier oil for Forefront's product is MCT. It's only a 3% oil though.

I suspect chronic allergy problems can be caused by parathyroid dysfunction and / or low cortisol. When I had allergy issues that just progressively got worse, I found through blood testing that I had sub-optimal Vitamin D levels. When I normalized my Vitamin D levels through supplementation, my allergy problems practically disappeared for years, only to finally resurface now the past couple of weeks.

My theory is that if Vitamin D is low, calcium absorption in the gut is poor, and parathyroid has to release hormone to stabilize blood calcium levels. I believe this hormone is linked to mast cell activation.

My other theory is that low cortisol can cause allergies to go berserk, but I don't have much evidence to go on for that other than feels.

why don't you email them and tell them and ask them what is going on? they do high volumes and have multiple employees and if they made a mistake maybe they would be happy to fix it.

@VehmicJuryman dang bro, was it all at once? i think ray himself even said maybe like 500mg to start lol

@Kilgore Mine are still the same color.

Progest-E never seemed to give me any noticeable reactions, good or bad, as a man in my early 20s. Aspirin gives me much greater benefits.

@Mr-X I think I noticed mood swings too. I think there’s so many different chemicals in there that it’s always going to be unpredictable.

@Peatful - For me, supplements are additions to my diet. Salicylates are found in food but I supplement my diet with aspirin.

Progesterone is produced in the body but when it is exogenously consumed then it is a supplement.

I hope this helps.

I've used both (Ritalin rather than adderall mostly) and can see where you're coming from in regards to it alleviating anxiety and boosting productivity like addy (although I've often found adderall to be one of the most anxiety inducing drugs I've used).

Semi off-topic, but interestingly enough, adderall (not sure about ritalin) inhibits TSH, which in turn suppresses follicular release of T3 and T4. Amphetamines are seriously nasty and I would only ever take them with a heavy stack to mitigate the negatives. I would be interested to see how a dose of T3 to normalise levels would effect the adderall experience.

@cremes Makes sense. Thank you!

@brad Great news, thx.

@odiniccold I've put it on my face before tanning in UV 8-9 for about 50 minutes on several occasions. My shoulders were burnt but my face was just fine.

@MJ_LZ I started the T3 three days ago now but have noticed zero anything. My resting heart rate has dropped in fact. I’m taking 5mg twice a day with meals. When did you feel symptoms improve?
