Brylcreem ?
‘I have used Brylcreem all my life,’ said Mr Williamson
'I even used my dad's when I was tiny. I have kept the same hairstyle more or less through the years.

He explains that he is in fact 80 - but his luxuriant dark-brown mane refuses to show any sign of age.
The secret of his follicular success, he claims, is two fold - good genes and a healthy blob of his favourite hair cream.
@CrumblingCookie Those are interesting ideas for modifying tocopherol, but you'll have to do safety studies before anyone wants to inject it and those cost a lot more than $35,000
After trying normal coffee for a couple of weeks I'm switching back to torrefacto.
I use same amount of normal coffee (vs torrefacto) to get a desirable taste/consistency/ stomach comfort.
I noticed it started giving me a headache even from one cup...probably high pressure due to too much caffeine. If I use less amount of coffee it will be too watery.
I can sip at torrefacto coffee all day long , I have never had a headache from it.
Most people here drink torrefacto and price is 3 times cheaper. Also there are chances that torrefacto coffee is more resistant to mold (aflatoxin...) due to sugar coating .
@davisjedwards theres not really an easy way to do it at home. the companies that do it have some bulk process for seperating the membrane from the shell. youre probably getting some membrane with your eggshell unless youre peeling it out. the dose is really low tho.
sorry, i forgot to add that you will want to make sure your vitamin d level is adequate and likely need to supplement vitamin d. vitamin d in EVOO will be least irritating to the stomach, premier research labs or lark supply are good options.
and related to that, making sure you have adequate calcium intake relative phosphorous (grains and meat are high in phosphorous and low in calcium). so milk and cheese if you can tolerate it are good. you can try warm milk with honey and gelatin, some digest that easier. alternatively you can just supplement calcium in the form of eggshell calcium powder, there are a few places that sell it online.
these things will get you going in the right direction.

It recommends external use for legal reasons as it is a cosmetic product. I would suggest you to read carefully all the comments on the energin thread on the ray peat forum. I have used it a few times but I'm not sure I felt much from it when I used it topically, so I use it orally diluted in orange juice to avoid the garlic taste. I really like Energin as it makes me feel very focused and very calm! You need to take it on a full stomach as it makes you very hungry. You might want to take a half dose at the beginning and see how you feel. Hope it helps!
@alfredoolivas I think he ordered dht raws before they went out of stock, and I get good results from his dht liquid. that's all I can say, and yes my only criticism is there is no testing as some proof that it's correct dht
@CrumblingCookie I wouldn't call it anti-serotonergic , the mood lift felt more like a neurosteroid boost. Which is a little different from a dopamine boost. Both are good though.
Not sure about it's androgenicity , I didn't experience any detrimental effects . But I only tried it twice and I was also sick with a cold so not the best test run.
I certainly would be willing to try it again if it wasn't for the constipation, but I'm sure I'll give it another go.
Ive tried the old version of gonadin today with phytol in it. that was quite nice . I'm also having great results with diosgenin in the last months.
