Topical Application
-
The Ray Peat sphere is probably the only place on the internet that I see people discuss topical application of supplements. Vitamin k on wrists or testicles, Progesterone rubbed on the forehead, androgens applied on the belly button. Is there any actually advantage of doing this? Is it to avoid allergies when consuming them orally? If so what supplements have you found to be better when applied topically and in what areas. Thanks for any feedback!

@PrinceTrebata I believe in some cases the absorption can be better if the supplement in question has poor bioavailability. It also bypasses the liver if I’m not mistaken when applied topically. At least at first.
Potentially can also help reduce issues with digestion. A lot of supplements have fillers like silica dioxide and other toxins you shouldn’t inject.

@Lothric Are only hormones like Progesterone and Pregnenolone to be used topically? Also, is every hormone different in the ideal place to put it, ie androsterone on wrists, progesterone on forehead etc?
