Help with EU Sources

@kukukaka Oh, apologies for not checking the link first. Alright, well depending on where you are there should be different options. Since shipping within EU is easy and doesn't usually get checked by customs, any legit website selling cypro with EU-wide shipping should work. It seems to have changed in France and now it's not OTC there anymore.
I stocked up before this date while in a different EU country than France, and now in Spain it's available over the counter. So possibly a Spanish website? Have you tried this? https://www.farmaciasdirect.eu/products/periactin-4-mg-30-tablets

@Ena I might try this. I love Progest-E though.

@Ena said in Help with EU Sources:
@CO3 Is Progest-E = progesterone? Maybe with some added Vitamin E?
I went on holyday to Spain shortly after and bought a pack of Progesterone pills in the local pharmacy.
They didn’t have vitamin E, but back in the UK I found a hopefully good brand online.
So, for a month now, every day just before bedtime, I’ve been mixing and applying to my gums a pasta of Progesterone, Vitamin E powder, and coconut oil.
The pills you bought, did you buy then at a pharmacy physcally? Also, was it bio-identical progesterone?

If so, you’re kind of lucky living in Spain where Progesterone is available over the counter. Not like in the UK where I live currently.
Is this even true? I've been searching for sources to buy (bioidentical) progesterone for like half an hour and half the sources I get are UK sources. Plus for many years now Progest-E has been sold on a UK website.
-
@CO3 Yes it is true.
I bought bioidentical progesterone at a physical pharmacy in Spain. I just went into the nearest regular farmacia.
Seidigestan - 30 capsules of 100 mg - €5.81
They are also available in 200 mg but are then, for some reason, more expensive per mg.
Unfortunately, the capsules are not separable, so I make a hole and squeeze out a little bit every day. I use one 100 mg capsule over 3 days.

@CO3 onasnatural?

@Ena how did you find out it's bio-identical? Thanks btw!

@Kafkaz Amazing, thanks!

@CO3 [about progesterone without prescription in Spain]
First of all, my British GP told me that bioidentical progesterone is called Utrogestan.
So, I simply brought a handwritten piece of paper to the Spanish pharmacy stating, in English as well Spanish, that I was looking for bioidentical progesterone similar to Utrogestan.
And they gave me Seidigestan.
Back home I checked on the Seid Lab homepage. They call it “natural progesterone” though, but I have googled a lot and found everywhere that Utrogestan and Seidigestan are similar.
The Spanish Drug Centre simply states the content as “progesterone”. They also state that the capsules are made from sunflower and soy. Sadly.

Does anyone know if Levotiron is a good T4 product?

Anybody knows a good source for nicotine? I’ve been wanting to try nicotine micro-dosing to increase my focus.

@oliveoil this looks interesting
-
@wester130 This thread is about EU (European Union) sources, you linked a product sold in the US. Thank you nonetheless.

sorry, I remember in the UK buying liquid nicotine drops being sold as a nootropic, however the google results have been destroyed by vaping nicotine which is not the same thing
-

You can get high concentration nicotine in a glycerol base with no additives to make "eliquid". You could repurpose and dilute it to make drops quite easily I guess.
-
@ThinPicking i found it
"We used to sell nicotine solution via our website, Mitolab.com, but became aware that individuals were purchasing for uses other than intended (non-clinical/R&D research). We have a small quantity remaining but ask customers to confirm their usage before we invoice directly. We will not be restocking once this quantity is gone."
I disagree too, the stuff used in vaping is not pure, you want it sold as a nootropic but few companies are doing it
-
@wester130 said in Help with EU Sources:

Of course not, attempting to vape pure nicotine would probably kill you. What I'm referring to is a base ingredient of pure pharma grade (EP in europe and probably 99.7%) glycerol (commonly used in medicine, not propylene glycol) and a very high concentration of pure nicotine. Which you could make yourself but I wouldn't go anywhere near pure nicotine personally. You could then dilute to the desired concentration with whatever base you wanted.

This is probably how they're making it. And their "clean room" is probably some guy wearing a lab coat and hair net in a warehouse.
-
It is indeed exactly the same thing. Diluted to a concentration of 20 mg/mL.
"USP grade nicotine, EP grade vegetable glycol (100%)" (100% is impossible, they mean close)
