  Increased Androgens: A pilot study on male volunteers (1 g/day for 1 month) found that DCI administration was associated with a +23.4% increase in testosterone and a +13.8% increase in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Reduced Estrogens: In the same study, DCI significantly reduced estrone levels (-85.0%) and reduced estradiol levels (-14.4%). Androgen Precursors: In addition to DHEA, other androgen precursors like epiandrosterone also increased (+39%). Aromatase Inhibition: DCI is believed to act as an aromatase down-modulator (inhibitor), reducing the conversion of androgens (like testosterone) into estrogens (like estradiol and estrone). D-chiro-inositol (DCI) acts to stimulate PDHP (pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase), which in turn dephosphorylates and activates PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase). Insulin Mimicry: DCI has been shown to reduce the concentration of required for full activation of PDHP, a mechanism similar to how insulin works in adipocytes

  @engineer said in Too high systolic blood pressure?: Should I keep using them or or lay them off? I'd stop the whole thing for 3 days. To avoid interference with half-life molecule and a return to +/ balance. Then I'll see the the interconnection of the molecules and the lack of. If you stress, you lack magnesium bisglycinate. There is interaction between B1 B2 B3 B6 + B8iotine. No more than 20-25 B3 if niacin (histamine flush). Here no caffeine until it's fine. wait 5 days. Need carbs (glucose & fructose with fiber) when taking caffeine again. Half life is 5-6 hours for caffeine. Too much caf interfere with adenosine and serotonin afterwards. And don't take a high dose because you've already done it before and everything was alright... Need l-theanine if you're angry / disturbed / in bad temper ... + a relax technique (breath) for 3'.

  Wow, glad you're feeling a lot better. I think I might actually be experiencing something similar and I hadn't even considered it. I packed away my UV lamp in January in preparation for a move, and shortly after that started supplementing daily 5000 IU of vitamin D in olive oil because I had gotten lab results that came back low for 25-OH vitamin D @ 30 ng/mL. It's the larksupply.co vitamin D, which is pretty much unparalleled as far as quality. I think I just simply don't tolerate oral vitamin D for whatever reason. Since I got to my new place at the beginning of February I haven't been myself at all. My sleep has been inconsistent, full of interruptions for no reason, and waking up has felt like being a vampire glued to the inside of a dark coffin. I've been super lethargic, and I'd also describe my mood and perceptual capacity as both stupid and irritable. Have also been hit with random nonsensical bouts of anxiety and fear that are way out of my norm. I've been so out of wack and dragging that I haven't bothered to get that lamp out and set it up since I got here. I thought it was remnants of the flu that knocked me down a week before I moved, but I think it is very possible that the vit D supplementation might actually be responsible for seriously messing me up since I arrived here. Cutting it out and going back to the lamp.

  You can try to find a good Thai Curry paste without bad ingredients like seed oils. They are available with red, yellow or green color. Sauté some vegetables in a pot (Onions, carrots, zucchini, peppers, whatever you like - if you use broccoli, better cook it in water before, otherwise it will be half raw). Add meat, white fish or shrimps. Add the curry paste and mix everything. Add coconut milk and let it simmer for five minuted or so. Serve with rice.
