Agree about the aluminum. But haidut uses LDPE bottles for idealabs, and has tested various products for leaching, including ones in DMSO, and there was none. And in general i thought it's among the safer types of plastic, no?

I used to favor jumbo eggs since double yolks were somewhat common and it was cost effective as a bonus. Double yolks have become increasingly rare for me now so there goes that tactic.

@Andrewㅤ FYI I dissolved mine in Glycerin for increased viscosity and all the actives dissolved well in 1-2 oz

@happyhanneke if you expect to keep it a while then you can move it to an airtight glass container. But if you use it at a normal pace then i wouldn't concern myself with it too much.

@apeiron I've never had the chance to use these gels, as my running days are behind me as I lost interest in it when I got convinced it's nor peaty and I never had a runner's high. Plus, I haven't needed external metabolism nor fasting to keep myself in a good build and in normal weight. It would be good to know what's used in making the mixture gel, and whether it is beneficial or harmful to our well-being.

@Insomniac said in Lidocaine: Were you taking it for anti aging or pain? Against pain, for which it was mildly effective and good for sleep, too, but only initially. The mind-numbing effect it initially had was also a little scary at first and felt somewhat similar to that drag into an empty black hole of a propofol injection. However, I later didn't feel that anymore. The positive effects waned or shifted to higher doses by about every other day. I had started at 20mg lidocaine p.o. and whilst I took up to 200mg eventually, I felt no more benefit above 60mg or 80mg. Beyond that it turned to enhanced pains and also immune suppression by both lidocaine or procaine. The procaine I didn't like even at lower doses. To take (ox)carbazepine along with these substances would prevent their action on CRH receptors but it's possible that the latter is essential to their overall effects. Such a combination would perhaps render them mainly useless.

@happyhanneke Flea markets or yard sales.

@Hassan Thank you

I take 0.5mg lithium orotate from time to time and it helps with panic attacks. If I take it more that twice a week it seems to lose it's effect. I have high whole blood histamines and from what I've read is that high histamine causes high glutamate activity in the brain. Lithium helps to dampen a glutamate storm from what I understand (I'm no expert). If I feel my head getting hot, panic setting in and uncontrollable rumination, Lithium helps with that. If my anxiety is more of a "body high" with heart palpitations, it doesn't help with that.

@BioEclectic thanks @LucH come back i dont think you're reddit xDDD

@jamezb46 Who knows how really safe something like methylated androsterone would be on a daily basis. I think oral/sublingual androsterone works pretty well on it's own. I've heard of sublingual Anavar being used as a pre-workout. Whether the damage of oral steroids is related to estrogen or not, which I'm not sure I buy that, I'd still be wary of taking oral steroids for a long period of time and or at a high dose.

why tho?

@jamezb46 haha now how would I then sniff it!

@Cerbros converting pregnenolone to estrogen? how?

Haidut mentioned: PUFA and Endotoxin (LPS) Inhibit Vitamin D and Thyroid Transport / Activity Polyunsaturated but not saturated fatty acids were able to decrease the binding of thyroxine to TBG (thyroxine-binding globulin). Arachidonic but not palmitic acid decreased the binding of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3) to human DBP. "...In non-thyroidal illness, however, high concentrations of FFA were probably responsible for most of the abnormal thyroxine-binding to TBG.” FFA = Free fatty Acid.

You need a liposoluble form to assimilate vitamin by the skin. Benfotiamine for example. Make a search with: benfotiamine transdermal.

@SerotoninSkeptic Can't say I'm an expert with preg. I'd look on the old forum. I've taken up to 100mg/day of vitacost's. Definitely not the best source. Felt relaxed, colors more vivid, time seemed to slow.
