@Mauritio wow nice! And Lemon Balm is super easy to grow perennial herb. Available in most garden stores. Smells great too!
-
@Mauritio do you mess around with any phytol these days? Food or extract… is there a supplement phytol? Or just load up on the skins of nuts and slam seaweeds?

Yes. And I haven't even posted all the cool studies on it . There's more for dopamine, liver health and as an anti-viral.
I've been taking lemon balm extract for over a week. And i finally feel like I'm not about to catch a cold for the first time this winter. It's also very calming and seems to help weight loss. Seems to lower blood sugar noticably. -

Ive ordered a food grade phytol supplement from Spain. Some herb, weed or terpene shops carry it.
I'm looking forward to trying it.Im kinda trying to recreate the 1/2nd generation Gonadin.I already take Diosgenin, now phytol . Next methyl oleate (might be able to accelerate PUFA detox).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phytoprogestogens, also known as phytoprogestins, are phytochemicals (that is, naturally occurring, plant-derived chemicals) with progestogenic effects.[1][2]Relative to their phytoestrogen counterparts, phytoprogestogens are rare.[1] However, a number have been identified, including kaempferol, diosgenin (found in yam), apigenin (found in chasteberry),[1][3] naringenin, and syringic acid, among others.[2] In addition, 3,8-dihydrodiligustilide from Ligusticum chuanxiong is a potent progestogen (EC50 = 90 nM), whereas riligustilide is a weak progestogen (EC50 ≈ 81 μM).[4][5]
carrot salad by R.Peat delivers apigenin (phytoprogestogen) and absorbs estrogens

" In mice, NAD+ levels can be elevated via treatment with apigenin, a natural flavonoid that inhibits the NAD+-consuming glycoprotein CD38."
Progesteron synthesis depends on NAD as a cofactor as well as myo-inositol synthase . -

Not sure how strong Diosgenins progestogenic effects are, it feels more androgenic.
I have posted about syringic acid and the Chinese herb progestogen as well.

@Mossy I really liked the effects it did worsen sleep though.

@Mauritio @mossy i had a cup of lemon balm tea after lunch yesterday and it was very calming, similar to chamomile but not sleepy-calm. My guess is that lemon balm is better for day time stress, and chamomile better for after dinner nighty night time! 🫖

@Mauritio Thank you. As someone who is hyper sensitive to most things, that's good to know.

@dapose Interesting. Good to know. Thank you.

@Mauritio shogaol is easily made from ginger powder you just put it in the oven with some acid dry it out for 60 minutes and it is usually a lot more beneficial than gingerol in 99% of cases
-
@lobotomize thanks. i use ginger candy or chocolate and IIIRC the ginger in there should be heated is probably already converted to shoal.

@Mossy another Peater said the same thing. So I don't seem to be the only one.
It's exceptional for colds/ flue, but somehow messes with sleep. Maybe GABA rebound effect ? -
