    In this human study using 1.5g/day, they saw some liver fat reduction, but unfortunetly no change in weight. So not all the benefits of the OP study seem to translate to humans. https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/2872/camu-camu-decreases-hepatic-steatosis-and-liver-injury-markers-in-overweight-hypertriglyceridemic-individuals-a-randomized-crossover-trial?_=1788701319075

    @ChroncStresChris Re "calcium d-glucarate, caffeine + K2, CO2, TUDCA, taurine, and niacinamide", That's a good idea of yours to focus on strengthening your liver. I would first try plain milk or eggshell powder for the calcium. They're less likely to cause digestive difficulty. Caffeine and k2 should be helpful, as well as should co2. I think I would drop the tudca coz the taurine takes care of what it would do (it's actually what I did for myself: bought it but soon after starting stopped using it) I'd also start with trying to get the nutrients from actual food, eg caffeine from coffee/tea, k2 and b vitamins from liver, taurine from seafood... And finally I guess you're also planning to get quality protein from things like cheese and eggs (along with something sweet like coke or orange juice to prevent triggering stress hormones) Good luck

    @wester130 because then you get the bad effects associated with cabergoline, which don't exist with bromocriptine

    @Jennifer Haha, that is funny.  Ice cream was the answer.  I think in our very modern and very deficient world, love is a component in healing, beyond the technical and mechanical parts of healing needed.  Love is indeed a powerful thing; even beyond the emotional response, the deeper security and hope that love provides.  A strange coincidence, I received an email today for an ebook on sale on this very subject.  I prefer physical books, but the price of ebooks is just too good to pass up for my budgeted life these days. I realize not everyone wants or needs everything broken down academically: to use an analogy I've heard, some just want to eat the apple, they don't have to look at it in a microscope. Books and authors are a personal taste, no doubt, but just in case it would interest you:  https://www.amazon.com/Four-Loves-C-S-Lewis-ebook/dp/B01EFM8NI4 I was not aware of the cloudy egg white, as evidence of more CO2.  Interesting.  I did notice the egg whites were a bit cloudy just recently, but thought that was due to the cold of the refrigerator.  I've never had Nounós yogurt, but it does indeed look to be the cream of the crop.  I like the A2 and the glass container.  Next time I make it to Whole Foods, which is hardly never these days, I'll look for it. I agree with your egg perspective.  I eat 2-4 a day myself.  I've been considering adding some of Haidut's vitamin E several times a week, but since my PUFA is quite low in general, I don't worry too much about it.  Wow, hives from the lichen-derived.  (And I see I used the word mushroom-derived in error.)  I think I'll look for lanolin-derived.  I don't feel well on the vitamin D3 supplement I have, which I think is synthetic.  But I don't feel well on any supplements.  I think Haidut's D3 was a little better, but I don't completely remember.  It's been years since I've had his. Yeah, grounding.  I haven't done that is a while. That does look like good mayo that you linked, as far as store bought goes.  And 17oz for $9 is actually not too bad.  It would cost me a few dollars more to make it myself, but I see that I would be able to use a better olive oil.  I promise, I'm not dogging your mayo , I'm just attempting to be objective in my evaluation.  I would take your olive mayo over all the soy based mayos any day.  Coincidentally, I did just make mayo after my last message and it didn't take at first.  Really, it's one of my least favorite things to make.  I can be a bit neurotic in my quest for quality, so I'll continue to do it until I really lose my patience with it.  I believe the problem is that I was using bottled lemon juice versus fresh.

    @PrinceTrebata very ho behaviour not replying. Sorry. I stopped the back ones and still don’t do them( I am still catabolic! Not getting stronger in the gym! Back aches! Bone hurts!) despite getting more than enough protein. This is perfect btw. I am not trying to be anabolic, as that usually entails with some sort of fat growth or water retention from AAS. But that’s a different story more suited for the moggy chicken Currently have been and am doing high seat biking. If I recover (hopefully when I slowly ramp up the calories), and those issues go away, I’ll throw in the stretches and stretching machine. If I find a sustainable routine with time.

    @cs3000 I can bear witness to this. When I was suffering from a year long condition that started with bronchitis, my eyelids were drooping. The lack of the usual amount of oxygen easily translates into low energy. And my eyelids were a good tell.

    @chudlord Great stuff thanks! For those who can get it, a nice hack is tomato sauce or sea salt with truffle extracts. Makes it very easy to add a tiny bit of it everyday.

    Dietary and environmental toxins? Not ingesting or being exposed as much as reasonably possible. Then vitamins and minerals take over from there. The way i've understood it, you need just a bit more than what your body uses for itself, any excess will often move on to secondary duties like toxin removal or mitigation. Ideally it would be a steady supply also. Just a sample list but Zinc is good for certain toxins, Selenium and Copper for others, B1, Vit-C, Glycine etc etc. Be extremely careful with some of the detox protocols you may have stumbled upon, research them well before attempting.

    Orally progesterone and thyroid help the most. But she should also check the skin care she’s using to make sure it doesn’t clog pores. Google pore clogging checker and there are a bunch of sites. It can take a few months to clear.

    @scamp said in Help me choose supplements: @Mulloch94 37 nmol/L That's borderline. I think it's still technically "in the reference" because the bottom end is 30 nmol/L for most standard tests, but for me it would be too close for comfort. If it were me, I would probably do 10,000 units daily for a couple weeks then reduce it to 5,000 units daily for maintenance. Check yourself again in about 12 weeks to reevaluate your situation.

    @Verdad Acne is a sign of your liver not being capable of getting rid of all the toxins that are in your body. So the toxins leave through your secondary detoxifying way which is your skin. So yeah having healthy amount of Vitamin A -> Increasing Liver Function will help you with that.

    @wrl I don't, but supplementation must be safer than in pregnancy. The concentrations aren't increased to a worrying extent, can elevate the content to 5 mcg/L. An infant might consume up to 1 L a day and the inflated recommended intake for them is 10 mcg/d. The excessive supplementation to enrich milk with vitamin D may induce deficiencies in the mother, than may manifest in milk.

    @rosenstein if the liver can’t store glycogen then sleep will be affected, (no fuel during sleep-which ironically is a metabolically demanding process). Stress in the form of overtraining will raise cortisol which can lead to fatty liver and decreased glycogen storage/muscle catabolism. Some of us with favorable body composition might be able to skirt this for a time because muscles can store glycogen too, (my personal theory is that they do so when subjected to the stress of training as localized glycogen storage tanks to deal with stress more immediately-especially if liver function is impaired). I don’t do the caffeine before bed, (sorry for any confusion there). I take my last dose around 3pm. My reasoning for the caffeine and vitamin K supplementation is due to a number of studies Haidut posted on the old forum regarding their leaning out the liver and assisting in glycogen storage. When I started “Peating” I couldn’t drink black coffee without cold hands and feet. Now I can drink a double espresso on an empty stomach with no stress response, (suggesting my glycogen storage is much improved). In the studies, I believe glycogen storage was improved with a certain amount of caffeine mg/kg. In my initial experiments I used 1200mg split in three doses of 400mg each with lots of food for two weeks. Since then I’ve found I prefer 200mg twice a day for longer periods. This also assisted in improved metabolism as I dropped body fat while increasing calories and maintaining training regime. My weight went from about 235 to 205, (and the weight loss wasn’t instant, it continued after ceasing the caffeine over the course of the next few months). K in studies was found to lower liver enzymes dramatically at 15mg over a few weeks, or 45mg over a few days.
